Pakistan vs South Africa Tweet report: 'Great match between Chokers and Jokers'

Pakistan pulled off a thrilling 29-run win over South Africa in the World Cup on Saturday after Proteas captain A.B. de Villiers couldn’t manage to carry his team to victory as his teammates collapsed around him.

Pakistan scored just 222 in its rain-affected innings and appeared headed for defeat against South Africa’s powerful batting lineup.

The Proteas, needing 232 to win under the Duckworth-Lewis system, raced to 67-1 after nine overs bu then collapsed, losing five wickets for 35 runs.

De Villiers led a rearguard South African comeback, smashing 77 off 58 balls, but it wasn’t quite enough.

As always, twitter was abuzz during the close encounter. We present you some of the funniest tweets.

Time to put flip flop on, put feet up & finish my colouring book. Just like West Indies game. #PakVsSA

South Africa have won the toss and decided the only batsmen who need time in the middle are the openers.

Sarfraz Ahmed just equalled Nasir Jamshed's highest World Cup score with that shot. #noTechnique

With Safraz Ahmed opening the batting, Pakistan has successfully traveled back in time to 1996.

If rains stop, they plan to roll Naseer Jamshed on the outfield for some super soaking. #PakVSA

Misbah is like my college internet. It successfully runs youtube videos, but takes hours to buffer.

Shahid Afridi's shots right now could single handedly increase Pakistan's annual wheat harvest #SAvsPak

FACT: Shahid Afridi is the only cricketer to live for more than 800 years and complete 8000 runs in One day Internationals.

Misbah's half centuries are like the Arjuna award. Comes late, deserves respect but is worthless.

Misbah-ul-haq is one of the best test players in ODIs.

AB de Villiers bats like a guy who grew up playing with cars parked on the offside

Misbah already practicing, the boys played well

Great match between Chokers & Jokers.

Respect for AB devilliers is inversely proportional to respect for South Africa. #chokers #cwc15 #PakVsSA

AB de Villiers's tactics > LVG's tactics.

We have missed you, Pakistan. Welcome to the World Cup

— Siddhartha Vaidyanathan (@sidvee) March 7, 2015

Now Pakistan needs to lose the next match against Ireland to retain the "unpredictable team" title. #PakvSA #CWC15
