The first two overs fetched only 3 runs. Pakistan was expected to dance to the chin music of the aussies. Few countries in the world cricket display the courage that the Pakistan team showed today. They refused to get bogged down by the short stuff from pakistan but to everyones surprise couter attacked the mighty Australian attack. It was Kamran Akmal for the first 10 overs and then it was turn of young Umar Akmal in the last 10 overs. Both scoring enterprising half centuries helped Pakistan reach a massive total of 191, second highest in the tournament.

It was raining sixes all over the park, out of the 8 sixes, two of them landed on the roof, one of them almost killed ICC Cheif Secretary, and one was a hook of the front foot. Rameez Raja aptly described the Pakistani blinder as desi tadka. Butt, Latif and Razzaq gave ample support but it was the duo of Akmal brothers who stole the show. Australia would need a special chase to reach to the finals. Pakistan is all set to enter the finals for the third time.
