AP [/caption] 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

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.

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