AWESOME VICTORYY

Today we have witnessed another one of Pakistan team's awesome performances. Australia won the toss and chose to bat first at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. The pitch I would say was heaven for Batsmen and there was some movement for seamers and spinners. Australia were targeting a score of atleast 270+, but outstanding bowling performance by the Pakistani Bowlers restricted the whole Australian side to 176. Pakistan went on to bat requiring 177 runs to end Australia's 34 games winning streak in the world cup and to regain the number one spot in Group A. Pakistani batsmen had a slow start with Mohammad Hafeez's wicket going down early at the score of 12. Then after Kamran Akmal's wicket at the score of 45, Younis Khan and Asad Shafiq steadied the Pakistan Innings with a much needed Partnership of 53, but at the score of 98, Younis Khan was caught behind off Brett Lee's bowl and then Misbah Ul Haq also was caught behind on the first ball. The crowd was quiet after Misbah's wicket. The much needed partnership of 41 between two young heroes Asad Shafiq and Umar Akmal brought Pakistan closer to victory, which ended when Asad Shafiq was caught at first slip after scoring a handy 46. The captain, Shahid Afridi (BOOM BOOM AFRIDI), walked out to the ground and all I could hear was the crowd cheering "BOOM BOOM", the crowd actually expected Afridi to play a good innings today, which did not go as planned when Afridi was caught by Brett Lee at the Mid-On boundary after scoring only 2 runs off 4 balls. That wicket once again shut the crowd up. Then finally in the end, a winning partnership of 39 between Abdur Razzaq and Umar Akmal provided Pakistan with a much important and needed Victory. The Pakistani fans were just laughing at the faces of the Australian players, it almost looked like they will start crying. Anywayz Pakistan has clinched an extremely important victory at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo ending Australia's 34 games winning streak and clinching the number one spot in group A. Now they will face the fourth team of Group B which can either be England or West Indies, and that decision will be made tomorrow after we find out the result of an important match India vs West Indies. Good Bye for now and Congratulations to all Pakistan fans around the world and inshAllah we will be looking forward to 3 more victories to take the cup home.
