A fine unbeaten 73 from Kevin Pietersen led England to a comfortable six-wicket victory over Pakistan in their opening Super Eight game at the Twenty20 World Cup on Thursday. Pakistan had only themselves to blame as they dropped five catches defending a small total of 147. In the other match of the day, South Africa smashed 62 off the last five overs against New Zealand to pile up an impressive total of 170 for four. In reply, New Zealand never really got going and lost by 15 runs.[imagebrowser id=10982]
