T20 World Cup, PAK vs SA, Live Updates: Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat against South Africa in a crucial T20 World Cup Group 2 match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Pakistan made a forced change as Mohammad Haris, who was added to the squad on Wednesday, replaced the injured Fakhar Zaman. South Africa, on the other hand, made two alterations as Heinrich Klaasen and Tabraiz Shamsi came in for David Miller and Keshav Maharaj. A win for South Africa will secure a semi-finals birth for them, while Pakistan’s campaign will come to an end if they fail to beat the Proteas. South Africa are currently second in the points table with five points, behind India, who edged out Bangladesh in a close encounter on Wednesday. Pakistan, on the other hand, are fifth, having won just one game so far. (LIVE SCORECARD)
