Watch Live Streaming of T20 World cup 2009 1st Semifinal match between Pakistan vs South Africa at Lords , on Sunday, June 18 Start time 1730 local (1630 GMT)
South Africa have not lost a single game int his t20 world cup so far . They demolished Scotland, squeaked through by 1 run against New Zealand, knocked over England, held off the West Indies, and hammered the final nail in India’s coffin.
Pakistan are the past. They are wholly dysfunctional, but just about getting along, though unsure where they are going. They don’t control their extras, they don’t run the singles hard and they field .
The only way for Pakistan to get past South Africa ,would be to put in a brilliant bowling performance. They have not had the smoothest ride into the semi-finals, with losses against England and Sri Lanka,
Pitch and conditions
The surface for this match is two along from the one that turned square for the South Africa-India match and is expected to be harder and offer less help for the spinners. However, the slow bowlers have had an impact throughout so are still likely to be key. Steady rain arrived in Nottingham on the practice day, but is due to clear overnight and the forecast for Thursday is fine.
