Good Morning!
Hello and welcome to the National Cricket Stadium in Tangier.
Today - Pakistan and South Africa fight it out for a place in the
final.
It is a must-win game for Pakistan, if they were to lose today,
that would bye bye for them.
The interesting thing in this tournament so far is that the team
chasing - has always lost.
The toss is going to be very crucial.
Yes, we have some news for you, Shaun Pollock has won the toss and
South Africa are batting first.
South Africa bring in Smith and Dippenaar. Out goes Kirsten and
Telemachus
Pakistan too have made a couple of changes. There is no place for
Saeed Anwar and Mohd Sami - the replacements are Azhar Mahmood and
Shoaib Malik
We are all set for the start
It is going to be Wasim Akram
The Umpires: DJ Harper (Aus) and SJA Taufel (Aus) TV Umpire: S
Venkataraghavan (Ind) Match Referee: GR Viswanath (Ind)
Gibbs is the man on strike
Here we go!
0.1 Wasim Akram to Gibbs, OUT: bowling left-arm over the wicket,
angling away from Gibbs, well wide of the off stump, has a go at
it, sounds like an edge, loud appeal for caught behind, Umpire
Taufel puts up the finger.

Six overs to go - 26 runs required
Pollock, Kallis and Donald have 2 overs each
We have a slight delay here, the ball is being changed - since it

more harder

South Africa and Sri Lanka have qualified for the final. Pakistan
lose out
For the fifth game in a row - the tema batting second has failed to
win
The hero for South Africa is surely Donald
He let himself and his mates down when he dropped a sitter offered
by Inzamam
Donald came back strongly, using all his experience to pick up 4/43
It was Smith who took the catch not Dippenaar
With the target of 197, Pakistan lost the wicket of Imran Nazir in
the very first over for a duck
Afridi played an explosive knock of 62 off 40 balls.
Inzamam was not at his fluent best, making 41
Youhana and Latif made 22 runs each, but then no one went on to
make a big score - an important thing while chasing
Tomorrow we will have the dress rehearsal for the final - Sri Lanka
take on South Africa
We are still awaiting the Man of the Match
And it is Allan Anthony Donald
That's all we have for you from Tangier - Do join us tomorrow at
0930 Hrs GMT. Cheers!
