Getting his one good innings in early, I see

Just cannot see Pakistan losing this one. They scored big enough in the closing overs to virtually assure the outcome. Boom! Boom! coming good for a change.

pakistan 201/5 from 20 overs.

16.4
Arafat Sunny to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, he may be iffy in the slips, but Soumya on the outfield is absolute gold. He has claimed a catch that is as skillful as it is spectacular. Firstly, the slog sweep from Hafeez was powerful. It was flat and it was headed for six over midwicket. But Soumya darts into the frame, running to his left, extends to his full height and takes it with both hands. Oh, but there's more. The momentum takes him over the boundary, so he pops the ball up as high as he can, moves back inside the boundary line and ends up having to reach full length to reclaim the catch
Mohammad Hafeez c Soumya Sarkar b Arafat Sunny 64 (42b 7x4 2x6) SR: 152.38

That was an amazing catch .

No once a cheat always a cheat. Should have banned for life...See he has made some coin with the wide today

Back to the game. Seems pakistan have this in the bag , bangladesh 73/4 after 10.4

 

[Creag]

Bangladesh can still do this... 4 fours and 2 sixes an over. Go for it lads!

 

[stefan9]

Good start for pakistan , comfortable win . Sets them up nicely for the indian game.

 

[Creag]

Superb effort with ball in hand by Amir and Afridi. Without Tamim or another going on, too much to do for Shakib. Well done to Pakistan.

 

[Agent_Smith]

I don't mind Pakistan, right up until the point Afridi gets a wicket and stands there with that stupid, "look at how cool I am" stance of his. Makes me want to punch him in the bek!

Afridi vs Tahir wicket celebration will be a good contest .

Immie wins hands down...Afridi just stands there like a giant douche. Immie puts on a Bollywood-standard show

England 182/6 (20/20 ov)

 

[sand_man]

20 short of a winning total me thinks. This WI batting lineup is very potent.

Let's have some Gayle force!
