The team beat Sri Lanka by 8 wickets with 8 balls remaining. Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik steer the team to victory with 8 balls remaining. Earlier Sri Lanka made 138/6 thanks to some wonderful batting by Kumara Sangakkara after the top guns failed to fire. Much hyped Tilshan went out for a duck and so Jayawardene after scoring 1. Although Jayasuriya scored 17, he looked uncomfortable against Pakistani attack and all credit to Abdul Razzak who took 3 wickets in a match that is so important.
As Pakistan started to chase things never looked good for Sri Lanka. Kamran Akmal went firing and scored quick fire 30+ and he laid the pillars for Shoaib Malik and Shahid Afridi to take forward. Afridi scored a 54 from 40 deliveries 2 fours and 2 sixes in his score. At no point in their innings the two batsmen looked defocused and they went on to give victory for the team. Afridi scores the winning shot and sported we-done-it-this-time expression.
