Today it was a great game between Pakistan and Australia. Many were expecting that Pakistan as an unpredictable team can break Australia's winning streak and Team Pakistan has proved this thing that they are not weak anymore. They have decided to take the World Cup away. It was May 1999 when Pakistan beaten Australia in Group matches and since then it had become difficult for any team to beat Australia. Before today Australia remained unbeaten for thirty four matches but Pakistan has broken their winning streak. How this all happened? It was all because of team spirit, positive attitude, unity and prayers by Pakistani fans. Australia won the toss and decided to bat first, at that time many people thought that Pakistan may loose this match as Pakistani team is not well known for chasing and also on this ground in Colombo it is very difficult to chase in second innings as we all seen in Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka. But it was all due to Pakistan's superb bowling attack which restricted Aussies to low score. Umer Gul was the opening bowler and he did a convincing job by taking wicket of SR Watson and then no one could stop Pakistan's inspiring bowling. Umer Gul got three wickets with an economy rate of 3.91, Razzaq done good job and got two wickets with an economy rate of 2, other bowlers including Afridi succeeded to take one wicket each but with good economy rates except Wahab Riaz whose economy rate remained above six. Australia got all out on 176 in 46.4 overs, setting the target for Pakistan of 177 in fifty overs game.
Australia started good with their bowling attack as Hafeez got out at fourth ball of third over by B Lee. Then Kamran Akmal and Asad Shafiq played a good knock up-till 45 runs when Kamran Akmal got lbw at fourth ball of ninth over again by B Lee. Again Younas Khan the experienced player and prior captain of Pakistani team built up good partnership with Asad Shafique and squeezed the score to 98 till
22.4 overs and got out by B Lee. So B Lee bowled efficiently and succeeded to take four wickets with an economy rate of 3.5. Then after Asad Shafique unfortunately could not complete his half century and got out but Umer Akmal played very well till the end and made a comprehensive victory for PAKISTAN. Razzaq finished Pakistani innings with a superb four at end. Umer Akmal has been announced as man of the match.
Well done team Pakistan and Good luck for Quarter final>>>>>>Semi Final and Final. Enjoy live and exclusive action on www.criclights.com.
