Legends and Pundits react as Pakistan keep their hopes alive in World Cup
For a team like Pakistan which has been cornered by all the teams, a win by 49 runs is exactly what they needed. On the other hand, it was a dark day for the Proteas as they are knocked out. The entire cricket fraternity reacted on the same and rued South Africa's elimination from World Cup.
Nightmare for South Africa!
South Africa must think this World Cup is one long nightmare they are unable to wake up from. Pakistan still alive!

Heartbroken!
It really has been difficult to watch. I try and consider the plans and thoughts but I’m baffled. #SouthAfrica #CWC19

Still alive in the tournament!
Pakistan stays alive...but only just. Even after this win, they’re nowhere close to getting into the top four. Must beat NZ and Bangladesh to compensate for the big losses vs WI and Ind. #CWC19 #SAvPak

Great comeback by Pakistan!
Pakistan fighting back with a spirit. Fielding lapses need to be paid attention to. Well done guys.

Now on to the all important match against New Zealand on Wednesday. #PAKvSA #CWC19
More misery to SA!
If this is how South Africa continues, they will have to play the icc tournament to qualify for the next World Cup! #PAKvSA #CWC19

Haris Sohail played a brilliant knock!
Pakistan have kept their hopes alive by beating South Africa and ending their challenge at #CWC19

The knock by Haris Sohail was the difference between the two sides.
Very disappointed though with the Proteas through this World Cup.

Pakistan need to work on their fielding!
Pakistan were excellebt with bat and ball today. But half a dozen catches — a few of them difficult no doubt — put down! Any team other than the beleaguered South Africans would have taken heavy toll of this

Painful tournament for SA!
Great job by the Pakistani bowlers, SA having a painful tournament nothing going there way. As I said to chase 300+ they required a team effort but an odd 50 won't get you there.#CWC19 #PAKvSA

Absolutely!
Well Played @iHarisSohail. Pakistan played pressure free cricket today. This is whats required. They should win the game from here and keep all of our hopes alive. #PAKvSA #CWC19
