Sohail and Misbah pull Pak to victory





From the opposition's perspective, both S Tanvir and Misbah are dangerous players. They almost won the game for Pak in the T20 Final 2007 which India won. Here they are pulling Pak to victory over NZ.

Pak needed 25 off 18 balls, when Misbha smote a six and a four. Then Sohail at the other end hit 2 mighty fours and the match was over.

Zaheer Abbas was complaining the Pak is not dominating the NZ matches. Today he was disproved by Misbah and Sohail. Misbah remained on 93 not out.

Afridi and Younus Khan are also very capable players. Both the Akmals are excellent players. Pak may be the dark horse of the WC. Pakis thrive on the subcontinental conditions, like Sri Lanka and India.

There is criticism of Pak selection also. Former player Basit Ali is surprised at the omission of spinner Kaneria and openers Khalid Latif and Shazaib Hasan.

I just saw the thrilling last minutes on CricTime.
