End of over 4 (13 runs) Pakistan 28/1 (123 runs required from 16 overs, RR: 7.00, RRR: 7.68)

Sharjeel Khan8 (11b 0x4 1x6)
Sarfraz Ahmed5 (2b 1x4 0x6)
DSNFG Jayasuriya1-0-13-1
KMDN Kulasekara2-0-3-0
3.6
Jayasuriya to Sharjeel Khan, no run, drifting into middle and leg, defended
3.5
Jayasuriya to Sarfraz Ahmed, 1 run, flicked wide of midwicket
3.4
Jayasuriya to Sarfraz Ahmed, FOUR, poor ball and put away. Can't ask for a better delivery first up as a batsman. Slides it across the batsman from round the stumps, he lends direction by easing it wide of point
 

Yousef K: "My Pakistan Xl for the WC would be: Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammed Hafeez, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Imad Wasim, Wahab Riaz, Mohammed Amir, Mohammed Irfan. On the bench should be... Mohammed Agshar/Saeed Ajmal, Sami Aslam, Anwar Ali, Mohammed Nawaz. The batting should also be flexible (esp. Umar Akmal moving up the order if in the 10th over). This lineup provides a balance of experience, youth and temperament! Also if Misbah could come out of retirement and provide some lower order sixes, we'd be very grateful!"

 
3.3
Jayasuriya to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, soft dismissal, there's the revenge. Hafeez looks to go downtown but didn't get to the pitch, checked his stroke at the last moment as the ball lobs off the splice to the bowler, who accepts it gleefully.

Mohammad Hafeez c & b Jayasuriya 14 (11b 3x4 0x6) SR: 127.27
3.2
Jayasuriya to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, gets outside the line of the stumps and sweeps it with the spin into the backward square leg boundary
3.1
Jayasuriya to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, poor start. Width on offer and he cashes in. Backs away, makes room and slaps it behind point. What sound as he made contact. Sitting up nicely and had 'hit me' written all over it
