The second semi-final between Pakistan and South Africa in the ICC Under 19 World Cup will resume on Saturday after rain interruption on Friday forced the organisers to defer the match by a day.

According to an ICC press release, Pakistan needs 166 runs to win off 28.1 overs with eight wickets in hand.

Having fielded first Pakistan conceded 260-8 off 50 overs to South Africa and it began its chase in a shaky manner, losing both opener Umar Akmal and number three Shaan Khan with just 15 runs on the board, the release said.

Pakistan will chase a revised target of 252 off 47 overs.

South Africa 260-8, 50 overs (JJ Smuts 58, Rilee Rossouw 53, Jonathan Vandiar 50, Reeza Hendricks 27 not out; Imad Wasim 3-44, Ahmad Shahzad 2-35)

Pakistan 86-2, 18.5 overs (Ahmad Shahzad 44 not out, Umar Amin 22 not out; Wayne Parnell 2-39)
