Desolate Miller on his haunches as Pakistan fielders celebrate another dismissal. South Africa's run chase never got going with Du Plessis' half-century being the only highlight.
Shadab Khan's three for 50 orchestrated Pakistan's stunning win over South Africa at Lord's. Shadab got rid of in-form opener Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram and Van der Dussen to dent Proteas' hopes of an elusive victory.
Faf Du Plessis played a lone hand for South Africa but found little support from his teammates. His 79-ball 63, with five fours, kept the Proteas in the hunt but Pakistan kept chipping away at the other end.
Catch me if you can: Leg-spinner Imran Tahir snapped up Pakistan openers Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman after the duo had got off to a solid start. Tahir's one handed stunner to get rid of Imam-ul-Haq made him the highest wicket-taker for South Africa in World Cup history. He finished with figures of two for 41.
Haris Sohail struck a 59-ball 89 to help Pakistan post a competitive total of 308/7. Sohail's whirlwind knock was studded with three sixes and nine fours, and together with Babar Azam injected momentum into the Pakistan innings after it had trudged to 143/3 in 30 overs despite a breezy start.
Babar Azam's 81-run stand with Haris Sohail was one of the highlights of Pakistan's innings. He struck seven boundaries during his knock. The right-handed No. 3 batsman was eventually snapped up by Phehlukwayo for a 80-ball 69.
