Re: Pakistan vs Afghanistan Asia Cup 2014
The cheetahs also conceded 280 runs against the mighty BD the other day
On a serious note, sometimes rearguard knocks even against minnows are priceless
Hundred when your side is 117/6 down and staring at an almost certain defeat & an early exit from the tournament means something no matter what the opposition. Umar Akmal single-handedly rescued Pakistan. Without his effort spinners would not even have come into the equation today.
Kapil Dev played a similar knock against ‘mighty’ Zimbabwe (ok minnows of his time) during the 1983 world cup. Without his effort India (77/6) would have most definitely lost that game!
