Pakistan struggled at 43-4 before turning things around and defeating South Africa with a score of 185-9, giving them a victory that improved their spirits.
According to Masood, the South Africans initially had the upper hand in the encounter, but the Green Shirts maintained their momentum and grabbed the victory from their rivals.
He emphasised that Pakistan would exert every effort to defeat Bangladesh and earn two points, promising that the group would continue to play hard till the very last ball of the game.
Pakistan must overcome Bangladesh in addition to having favourable outcomes in other games if they want to maintain their chances of moving on to the semifinals.
If Zimbabwe and the Netherlands defeat their respective opponents from India and South Africa in today’s matches, Pakistan’s chances would improve.
