Twitter Hails Pakistan For Bouncing Back After Defeat to India

Like South Africa, Pakistan won just one match coming into this game, which was a muct-win for both teams.

Pakistan registered their second win of the 2019 World Cup as they beat South Africa by 49 runs at the Lord’s on Sunday. Doing this they climb to the seventh spot in the points table and also keep their semi-final chances alive.

Like South Africa, Pakistan had won just one match coming into this game, making this a must-win fixture for both team. At the end, Pakistan delivered a better performance on the day and beat their opponents rather comfortably.

Pakistan had lost to West Indies in their campaign opener and then shocked England by registering a famous win, after which they again dipped into a losing streak.

They lost against Australia and India by heavy margins, coming into this game, in which the team put an all-round performance and outscored their opponents.

Pakistan now need to win all their upcoming games to stand a chance of entering the semi-finals but after beating South Africa, Twitter was optimistic of their chances.

Pakistan stays alive...but only just. Even after this win, they’re nowhere close to getting into the top four. Must beat NZ and Bangladesh to compensate for the big losses vs WI and Ind. #CWC19  #SAvPak

Job done for @TheRealPCB with the two points at Lord’s. Three more wins required to be in contention for the last four. @cricketworldcup #PAKvSA

Big win for Pak. Also improves their Net Run Rate, which will have great value just in case it comes to that. But what about SA? How utterly disappointing they’ve been?
