Chennai: Despite a scintillating knock of 107 by N Haydar and a knock of 90 by opener M Horsey, Australia lost to Pakistan by 65 runs in the Petro World Cup for the blind on Tuesday. In the second match South Africa posted a victory over India by a margin of two wickets. In the Pakistan-Australia clash, Pakistan won the toss, elected to bat and posted a total of 369 for the loss of eight wickets in the stipulated 37 overs and allowed the Aussies to score 304 for the loss of eight wickets by means some good bowling and fielding. Coming as two down, Pakistan's M Ashraf Bhatti took only 84 balls to score his 96 with the help of four fours. For Pakistan, the other chief contributor was from Mohammad Fayaz, who scored 77 runs in 60 deliveries, despatching three hits to the fence. As has been found in earlier matches, extras through 50 wides and 14 no balls, contributed handsomely to the Pakistan's innings. In the South Africa-India clash, South Africa won the toss and put India to bat. The Indians scored 285 for six wickets in 40 overs. The South Africans scored in 36 overs to win the match. India's B Vishal Kumar scored an unbeaten 75 but took 105 deliveries. The only other contributor was L Shekar Naik, who was run out at 35 in 48 balls. In the South African innings, the main contributors were P A le Roux, who remained unbeaten on 88 from 75 and RW Liebenberg, who scored 68 in 62 deliveries.
