Pakistan cricketers Umar Akmal (right) and Saeed Ajmal celebrate the
team’s victory during the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup’s Super Eight match
against South Africa. Pakistan survived a middle-order collapse to beat
South Africa by two wickets.
After restricting South Africa to a modest total of 133-6, Pakistan s
top order struggled and was reduced to 7-76 in 14.3 overs by the
Protease.
But Umar Akmal and Umar Gul put the team on the track and when it
looked that South Africa is nearing victory, the duo, especially Gul
smashed some brilliant shots to eventually claim maximum points for the
team.
Gul scored 32 runs off 17 balls, laced with three sixes and two
boundaries, and he had also taken a wicket earlier, to be declared Man
of the Match . Meanwhile, Akmal also played a key role in the match with
his unbeaten 43 off 41 balls.
