I want SA to win to bring some pride back into their cricket. They are playing like minnows which is hard to understand for kids who grew up in the 90s early 2000s when SA was always a monster team and just one step behind ATG Aussie side. I miss the times of Kallis, Smith, Boucher, Pollack, Gibbs, Ntini, Donald etc etc. Just my nostalgia speaking but I always regard SA as one of the best teams going around and seeing them beaten by even minnow sides like BD is hard to digest.

Surely SA won't mess this up. A win for SA and wins for Pakistan and India would end a perfect week for us.

Wasn't the other recent "bees stopped play" against SL as well? I believe it was. Strange...

Itna bhi boring nahi hai in the context of WC. Had SL won this they might have beaten WI and who knows India would have played their bench against them in the final group game, thereby killing Pak's chances. It is imperative that SA win. However, I just keeping an eye on the score to make sure SA don't choke it.

I feel ya. But they need to get rid of oldie chokers like Amla, faf, Duminy etc. Need to Janneman, zubayr and other youngsters and play a different , aggressive brand of cricket.

Uncalled for communal nonsense. You are better than this. Amla is closer to India than to Pakistan if you were to trace his lineage.Amla doing everything to stop Sri Lanka from qualifying, and eventually to help his bhais

HASHIM AMLA and Faf du Plessis made the Standard Bank Proteas two highest individual scores of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup to lead the way to a nine-wicket victory over Sri Lanka with 76 balls to spare in their penultimate match at Chester-le-Street on Friday.
With the Proteas producing by far their most positive and convincing batting of the tournament the pair also shared South Africa’s biggest partnership of the series of 175 off 206 balls. It was only South Africa’s second century partnership at the World Cup, improving on the 104 between Amla and Quinton de Kock against Afghanistan.
Amla finished on 85 (105 balls, 5 fours) and Du Plessis on 96 (103 balls, 10 fours and a six). It was Amla’s second half-century at the tournament and Du Plessis’ third.
In a complete all-round performance, the bowlers also played their part, managing to dismiss Sri Lanka inside the 50 overs for 203.
Sri Lanka, who had been sent into bat after Du Plessis had won the toss, dominated the first 10 overs of the match, reaching 67/2 at the end of the first power play but the Proteas were totally in charge of the remainder of the contest as Sri Lanka lost their last 9 wickets for 136 runs.
This was in no small part due to the contribution of Man of the Match Dwaine Pretorius whose only previous outing at the World Cup had been almost a month ago in the tournament opener against England.
After taking 1/17 in his first three overs, he then took 2/8 in his remaining seven to finish with the outstanding figures of 3/25 from 10. This included a remarkable 46 dot balls which must constitute a record of some sort.
Ironically, the only one of the six bowlers employed not to take a wicket was Imran Tahir who has been their standout performer in this discipline throughout the tournament.
The Proteas made two changes from the side that had played the last few matches with Pretorius replacing Lungi Ngidi and JP Duminy taking the place of the injured David Miller.
The Proteas play their final match against Australia at Old Trafford, Manchester, next Saturday.

Although the entire base of Pakistan cricket fans were in unison praying for Sri Lanka to lose today so that the Pakistan team has one headache with regards to qualifying for the semi-finals, but I was still supporting Sri Lanka, and that I did mainly for the sake of the tournament, and secondly because such a rapid decline of Sri Lankan cricket is becoming hard to bear for me. However, not to be...... Their batting has sadly not clicked in a single game in this entire tournament, and that´s where they´ve lost the race. There has been individual brilliance from one or two batsmen here and there, but they´ve failed collectively as a unit. They were lucky that the match against Bangladesh was abandoned due to rain, as I´m sure the current Bangladesh team would´ve fancied their chances against this team.
