Shahid Afridi starred with both bat and ball as Pakistan entered the final of the World Twenty20 with a seven-run win against South Africa at Trent Bridge
Days Review:
1st Semi-Final in ICC T20 world cup between Pakistan and South Africa.Crucial match between these two teams for the final spot. South Africa is in good form continue their campaign without any loss in this tournament. Where Pakistan started of with a loss against England and they came back very strong and enter into the final. Pakistan batted first and put some decent total in front of the opponents. Afridi comes back with an outstanding performance with bat and ball. South Africa started to chase down the total and they lost the game with very little different short of the runs. Kallis played some good shots and reached his half-century but couldn't take the home side for a win. finally, Pakistan entered into the final for the second time in ICC T20 WC.
Pakistan 149/4 (20/20 over)
South Africa 142/5 (20/20 over)
