ICC World Twenty20

I m back yet again after a severals weeks of break due to my hectic educational commitment. Here i am with an exciting updates for the cricket lovers worlwide. This time the popular event of 20-20 biggest prize ICC World T20 will be featured here in this edition today.

          What an exciting event its been so far hosted by the picturesque region of the West Indies. Its been mouth-watering so far. Every subsequent matches are offering alot of suspense and interest. We are at the brink of super eight stages of the tournament. 3 teams have booked their place into the semi finals. One spot is remained to be filled up. Lets cover the story of the latest games which turned out to be miracle for the defending champion Pakistan.

Pakistan Vs South Africa at St. Lucia, West Indies.

      A must-win match for both competitive side, it was Asian team that came outta the game with flying colour after registering an emphatic victory. Electing to bat first, Pakistan were in trouble at the start. ||Thanks to Akmal Brothers that rescued the teams ship out of the pit. Captain Afridi made a useful part with his typical cameo. The standout was Umar Akmal who scored his way to useful half-century that helped Pakistan post a respectable score of almost a century-and-a-half.









       In reply, the South Africans got off to rather sluggish start posting just 49-2 in the opening 10 overs. Thanks to some tight bowling and unlikely spectacular catches, the set batsman deVilliers and even dasher like Morkel could whack the ball when it mattered. The Proteas fell short of the target by 11 runs to be eliminated from tournament. 




    With a secured win, Pakistan now hoped that England win over New Zealand to see them into the semis.
