That is all that we have for you from the World Championship of Legends for now. We'll be back with a couple more games later today - the two remaining games before the semis. Join us right here for our coverage of them. This is Rajarshi Das, signing off for now. Good night!
Match summary:
South Africa Champions win by 9 wickets with 9 balls to spare
Sarel Erwee 105*(57) | Imran Tahir 1/19 (4)
Sharjeel Khan 72 (36) | Sohail Khan 1/38 (3)
A clinical batting performance from the duo of Sarel Erwee and Jacques Snyman have kept the Protea Champions side in the competition. The latter was promoted up the order to give the South Africa Champions side a good head-start in a stiff run-chase, and he proceeded to do just that. Snyman took the attack to the hapless Pakistan bowlers, who weren't helped one bit by the conditions.
There was a bit of joy early on for them once Sohail Khan got JP Duminy out, but Sarel Erwee then came and began playing himself in as Snyman went on to make the most of the 6-over powerplay. South Africa Champions kept going along at more than 10 an over throughout the middle overs - barring the overs of Shahid Afridi - as Erwee began freeing his arms more often.
Erwee took the mantle of attacking eventually - he unleashed an array of slogs and slashes and registered the first hundred in the competition. Pakistan's fielding left a lot to be desired - again, the wet conditions didn't help them one bit. Wahab Riaz and Sohaib Maqsood suffered injuries owing to the same, and the Pakistan Champions were humbled eventually as Jacques Snyman took his side home with a couple of towering sixes.

18.3 Aamer Yamin to Jacques Snyman, SIX! That will be that! Slow, back of length delivery outside off, Snyman waits for this to arrive, flat-bats this over his partner's head, and clears long on. South Africa Champions keep themselves in the hunt for a spot in the semi-finals with a 9-wicket win today!
18.3 Aamer Yamin to Jacques Snyman, wide, full, well down the leg side
18.2 Aamer Yamin to Jacques Snyman, SIX! Right out the screws, this one! Slow, short of length delivery outside off, Snyman moves across his stumps, has a heave across the line, and the ball flies into the stands at mid wicket!
18.1 Aamer Yamin to Sarel Erwee, slow, back of length on off, Erwee pulls this towards the man at deep mid wicket. Just a single
Aamer Yamin (3-0-30-0) is back into the attack
Quite a decent over from Ajmal, this. He tossed it up on several occasions, bowled slower through the air, and prevented Erwee from going after him.

Saeed Ajmal0/27
17.6 Saeed Ajmal to Sarel Erwee, slower, on a length around off. Erwee moved across his stumps, tried a paddle sweep, missed and was struck on the pad. The batters pinch a leg bye
17.5 Saeed Ajmal to Sarel Erwee, slower, on a length around middle, Erwee makes room, cuts, finds the man at point
17.4 Saeed Ajmal to Sarel Erwee, fired in quicker and fuller outside off, Erwee looked for a reverse sweep, didn't connect
17.3 Saeed Ajmal to Sarel Erwee, on a length wide of off, this one turns away from Erwee, who tries to cut and is beaten
17.2 Saeed Ajmal to Jacques Snyman, on a length wide of off, cut towards the point region for a run
17.1 Saeed Ajmal to Sarel Erwee, skied... no one's there at mid wicket! Half-tracker on off stump, Erwee looked to pull, the ball took the top edge and flew high up. Ajmal had to chase after it
14 needed off the last three. Might have a quick finish now...

Shoaib Malik0/36
16.6 Shoaib Malik to Sarel Erwee, fired in full on leg stump, Erwee opts for a slog, doesn't quite meet it right. Single to the man at deep mid wicket
16.5 Shoaib Malik to Sarel Erwee, FOUR! That's his hundred - the first in the World Championship of Legends! Full, fired down leg, Erwee flicks at it, gets some bat, and the man at short fine barely makes an effort to stop this one
16.4 Shoaib Malik to Sarel Erwee, FOUR! More fielding woes for Pakistan! On a fuller length around leg stump, Erwee tries to slog, doesn't quite meet it right. The ball rolls towards Sohaib at deep mid wicket, springs past him as soon as it reaches, Sohaib tries chasing after it but ends up slipping as the ball hits the ropes
