Match 26 between Pakistan and South Africa:

It was a great game. Two teams have flaws and it's something to work for both teams, but it was thrilling finish of the game. Pakistan really put effort in the end.

SA will be happy and Pakistan won't be happy, but Pakistan should feel good about this fightback. Captaincy was again very poor by using Rauf overs upfront in the first 15-20 overs. He is not a new ball bowler. Also , Pakistan could have gotten 20 more runs by simply playing 50 overs. SA made many mistake by going for shots despite no need to attack.

Well, flaws by both teams made this game interesting and close.

The best game in WC so far.
 
Pakistan vs South Africa has been the best one so far.

But, tournament is still ongoing. We may see even better games.
 
1. Aus vs NZ
2. Pak vs SA
3. Ind vs NZ

Pak vs SA was probably more tighter than Aus vs NZ but the quality of cricket was much better in the latter game so I would say Aus vs NZ is the best game of the tournament as of today. Let's see what happens tomorrow as India faces England.

Today's Australia vs NZ game has surpassed Pakistan vs SA game.

Australia vs NZ is the undisputed game of the tournament so far.
 
This match had a better quality of cricket, but the last one was a better thriller for me.
 
Aus vs NZ is not only best game of tournament but one of the great world cup games that will be remembered

Don’t think WI vs Pak in 1975 was the semi-final but it was an all time great game.
Majid Khan, from memory, messed up the bowling order, so Wasim Raja ended up bowling his leg spin in the last over and WI just scraped home

NZ vs Pak semi-final in 1992 was a great game — Pak were dead and buried until a very young Inzi played an amazing innings
