ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2009

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

Need some Gul Majik to win this..

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

Not a single boundary in last 5 overs. amazing

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

bad finish to an extremely good initial platform provided by Afridi and Akmal... I blame YK for not playing a little more aggressively. With wickets in hand and Misbah still to come... he could've taken a couple of chances with his shots - needed to be a little selfless.

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

YK did fine, 24 off 18, Malik & Razzak scored less than a run a ball

still not a bad total. over to the bowling & the fielding.

Incredibly unbelievable.Two big hitters were together.Y.K and A.R

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

i dont think it was a matter of not trying to hit, it was not being able to. good bowling by SA, didnt give anything to work with.

plus razzaq looks a litttle rusty against quality bowling.

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

20 runs short I would say!

Guys relax this is the same ground where SA made 130 batting first against India the other day

Early wickets would be crucial for Pakistan to check the rate of scoring

Hope we bowl sensibly and don't give away too many extra runs in the form of wides and no balls

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

Malik was doing much better !

As i said earlier ... we rnt hitting sixes, Akmal was the only one who hit a six and got out the very first bowl.
Now Gul Afridi and AJMAL we r counting on.... Hopefully Razzaq and Aamir give us better start in bowling.

I just wanted to say it.Pakistan fell short of as much as 20 Runs.

That match was of no importance and both sides were cool.But this is a semi-Final one........

Damn...pani pher dya akhri 5 overs mein...yaar...

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

Pitch is turning. SA will try to go crazy in first 6 overs. We can contain them and get 2 + wickets in the first 6, we will win it. But, even if Pakistan looses, I am extremely satisfied with their performance. They played as one unit and played good. Best of luck Pakistan.

150 is not a easy Target if Pak can Put the Pressure on African from the beginning its all Ours

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

The spinners might get some turn off the pitch so if they can bowl in the right areas Pakistan have a chance.

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

Against a team like S.A ,this is not a sufficient and satisying total.

Re: ICC World T20 SF: Pakistan v South Africa @ Trent Bridge, Nottingham - 18 June, 2

More cud have been done but am satisfied with 150 :)

I predict all out for SA by the 17th over. Its a tough total to chase. And if any haven't noticed, we are the only team so far to rattle their nerves. They looked very tense.
