South Africa, once known for its excellent fielding, lost to Pakistan on Thursday due to its average fielding. In this match of the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia, the team dropped 3 important catches. Not only this but a run-out opportunity was also missed. All this weighed heavily on the team and the Pakistanis managed to make a total of 185. Apart from the mediocre fielding, rain also hindered South Africa's victory. The team lost the fourth crucial match due to rain.

On the other hand, South Africa is second with 5 points and will have to win the next match to make it to the semi-finals.
