Russell to Mohammad Asghar, OUT, floats it full and straight on middle, he plays outside the line as the ball nips away to hit timber.

Russell to Mohammad Asghar, no run, back of length delivery outside off, pushed to cover
 

Shahid Afridi might not have pulled off a heist, but his legend as the crowd favourite remained intact as soon Dwayne Smith pouched the akier from the Zalmi captain, hundreds of fans from al parts of the stadum fast vacated the stadium

Russell to Shahid Afridi, OUT, game, set and match? This one was hit towards the longer boundary, didn't get the kind of power he wanted and Smith settled underneath it to take an easy catch at deep midwicket. The disappointment in the crowd is palpable.

Shahid Afridi c Smith b Russell 38 (17b 2x4 4x6) SR: 223.52
17.3
Russell to Shahid Afridi, SIX, carved over cover for a maximum. Generated tremendous bat speed, excellent use of the bottom hand. What power, what muscle. Is the game alive?
17.2
Russell to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, swings north, ball goes south. Thick edge flies into the third man boundary
17.1
Russell to Shahid Afridi, SIX, ramp shot and that's gone all the way. What are the chances that Russell expected Afridi to play that stroke?
