7th Match, Group B: Pakistan v South Africa at Birmingham

Everyone talks about how good AB deVilliers is as a batsman. I am yet to see him dominate a global tournament. Players like Kholi, Root, Amla, Warner and Williamsom have all done it. I am not saying he isn't a top batsman, but in big tournaments, he does not show up.

The D/S par is 100, they're 19 runs ahead of that !

119 - 3 after 27 overs

Current partnership  26 runs, 3.4 overs, RR: 7.09 (Shoaib Malik 16, Babar Azam 8)

Required RR 4.39

RAIN delay !

Still raining. Has got rather heavy in fact.

SA's chances not looking too good currently.

On a side note, I know South Africa like batting first, but felt their decision at

the toss wasn't right. With weather around and the strength of chasing teams,

teams should always look to chase. Easy in hindsight too.

Anyway, as you were "

9.55pm That's right, folks, the match has been called off.

Pakistan have won by 19 runs (D/L method)

Shabash !

AB is simply the best  in the history of ODI batting.

AB is my favorite. May be he is not doing well these days, but he is one of the genius for sure. I know he can do well now too, let's see.
