47 ball victory by 8 wicket for Pakistan
This match undid the common belief that Pakistan has problems
chasing a target, a superb start by Afridi 70 and Imran Nazir 35,
put them on their way and the job completed by Anwar 81 and
Inzamam 71
a comfortable victory but NZ tried theur utmost to stem the runs
but suffered from a wet ball as there was plenty of dew on the
pitch this eveneing
Pakistan have won both their games and look well on the way to
getting into the final
They face Sri Lanka tomorrow again at 11:00GMT for their second
match after SL beat New Zealand
Ths massive NZ total due to excellent alomost unbeaten century by
Sinclair was defended, New Zealand missed not having a more
penetrating attack as Tuffey was missing today
Ceremonies coming up,
McMillan says we had a chance with our total but Afridi took the
game away from us, he played beautifully and I tried everything
Pitch played well and feels we have 2 more games and as a young
side it is good experience for us, many have not played outside
New Zealand
Waqar, comes and says, Afridi and Imran played well and Afridi was
a treat to watch, felt he could have his team reach the target,
happy with the performance, we want to keep winning
Most boundaries prize shared by Inz and Saeed
Man of the Match goes to Afridi
Afridi says, 'Thank you,sir, I am glad I made Pakistan win
Says he will try his best in the later games
