Pakistan into under-19 cricket WCup semis

Pakistan are through to the under-19 Cricket World Cup semi-finals after a three-wicket win over South Africa.

Pakistan have reached the under-19 Cricket World Cup semi-finals with a three-wicket win over South Africa.

Bowling first, Pakistan limited the young Proteas on Wednesday to 9-189 in their 50 overs, with only Wandile Makwetu and Jason Niemand scoring more than 30 runs.

In response, Pakistan also struggled with the bat.

They lost a host of top-order batsmen to be 5-111 until Saad Khan anchored for the impressive Ali Zaryab Asif, who scored 74 off 111 balls.

Their plodding sixth-wicket stand ultimately helped Pakistan over the line in Christchurch with three wickets and two overs remaining.

They'll play New Zealand or Afghanistan in their semi-final.
