A major boilover has seen Pakistan upset South Africa by 29 runs in their rain-affected Group Cricket World Cup match at Eden Park.

The Pakistan side was initially dismissed for 222 in what was a 47 over a side match due to rain.

However, tournament heavyweights South Africa also struggled with their innings, being dismissed by for 202, meaning Pakistan won by 29 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis method.

Mohammad Irfan, Rahat Ali and Wahab Riaz all claimed three wickets each for Pakistan.
