That's one shitty tweet that tells you more about the average Pakistani fan.

Both teams have more or less the same kind of spin attack. SA's spin department went under the radar because of seamers/batters success, let's see how they perform in the middle phase of the inning when they are bowling first and don't have the luxury of a mammoth total.

Once again the South African seamers gave them a good start, with Marco Jansen picking up Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq. Then Mohammad Rizwan was nabbed by the South African find for this tournament, Gerald Coetzee. Now it is up to  the two spinners - Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi to build on their success, with Aiden Markram as the backup. Babar Azam is looking comfortable so far, but Iftikhar Ahmed seems struggling. Now it is going OK for Pakistan, but if they lose one more wicket before they reach 150-160, then it will get difficult for them.
Certainly the South African bowlers got off to a good start today as they picked up three wickets for Pakistan for 121 runs.Before the start of the World Cup, Pakistan was not such a shaky team, they played well in every series and won the series.Coming to the World Cup, Pakistan are showing a different form, they seem to be a very weak team.Pakistan's semi-final dreams may already be over after losing to Afghanistan.Expect Pakistan to play well against South Africa today.
