Chameera to Umar Akmal, no run, slower one outside off, guides it to point
17.5
Chameera to Umar Akmal, FOUR, full toss, a high one at that, picked the gap well enough, there was a fielder there but he had to dive across the turf to pull it back in, unfortunately it wasn't a full-blooded effort
17.4
Chameera to Umar Akmal, 2 runs, lofted over cover but his heart would have been in his mouth, falls in no man's land. It was the slower one, the bat face turned in his hand as he made contact
sandyk: "Looks like Pakistan were beaten by their emotions/attitude in the previous games. Against India, they were overwhelmed by the big game mindset and against bangladesh they expected it to be too easy which was not to be. Here, they are playing to their strengths without any prejudice."
17.3
Chameera to Umar Akmal, no run, crunched but straight to cover
17.2
Chameera to Umar Akmal, 4 byes, beaten by the legcutter, bounces in front of Dickwella who fails to collect it cleanly, deflects it into the third man bouncer. Misread the bounce completely, didn't get his body behind the ball either
17.2
Chameera to Umar Akmal, 1 wide, flirting with that wide line, Akmal backed away to carve it over point, missed. Touch harsh, line call
17.1
Chameera to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, width on offer, he backs away and then reaches out for it, toe-ends it to sweeper cover
