00:00On strike, Pakistan need exactly 50 now.
00:13That's the usual length, the length that most bowlers now deliver against Shahid Afridi, short of good length.
00:22An inch here or there, that ball would have found the fence, but it went straight to Chandimal who did a good job.
00:28Remember, it's not a dry ball, it's a little wet ball, so in that context it was an extremely good catch.
00:38Could have easily popped out of his hands.
00:45That's a good shot, very good shot, smart piece of batting from Shahid Afridi.
00:49He waited and just at the last moment hung his back to that line from Lasit Malinga and gets a boundary, a good one.
00:58Ashwin Sangakkara was almost ready to collect that, just played that very very late and played it so well.
01:05Just waited for that one and then Malinga's space and the ball just goes one bounce into the fence.
01:12Beautifully managed by Shahid Afridi.
01:17That's high in the air and he'll be caught, but in the crowd.
01:21Brilliant, that's Afridi for you, boom boom.
01:27He's looking for a yorker.
01:31But what a hit, watch that.
01:34Bang, that's gone in the crowd.
01:37The pace that he lights, he's been softened up by Malinga, so that would mean anything in his zone he's going to go after.
01:45And he knows that Malinga has 12 more balls to bowl at the other end.
01:49Goes offside and he gets six.
01:51Like I just said, he's not that strong through the offside, but he's proven it.
01:57Midwick at long on, squalic and finelick in the circle.
02:09Shahid Afridi, that's a good one.
02:12Srilanka need Afridi's wicket.
02:15If they don't get this man out, this game is going toward Pakistan.
02:28Four, very clever.
02:32Sixers down the ground.
02:35Over point and this time using the pace, playing the field.
02:38Afridi has shown, or has come to the party.
02:42Very cheeky.
02:44It seemed like he knew where the ball was going to be.
02:48He knew Pereira was going to look for that yorker length.
02:51Got it wrong, full toss.
02:54And with the final again, no chance to stop.
02:57The non-striker at the moment.
03:03Good dot.
03:05That's tight.
03:08Confusion all around.
03:10Shohil Tanvir struggling to make his ground.
03:14Once again, we have to go upstairs to confirm.
03:18The idea is right.
03:20Afridi wants the strike of the last ball.
03:22Last over.
03:25But the only problem here for Pakistan is if this would have been out.
03:29And Seyed Ajmal is coming in.
03:31So that will be a problem.
03:32And Seyed Ajmal is coming in.
03:34So that will open up the game once again.
03:37A direct hit would have done the job.
03:40Very, very tight.
03:42I think he's in. I think he's just made it.
03:46Direct hit was what was required.
03:51So Afridi's gamble has worked.
03:54Going to the last over.
03:56Requiring six runs and also with Afridi on strike.
03:59Short fine leg, short square leg.
04:01They're in the circle.
04:03There's a deep mid wicket.
04:05The long on.
04:07He gets the paddle out.
04:09And he picks up six.
04:11That's it.
04:13Not wasting any time, Seyed Afridi.
04:15He's been brilliant.
04:17He bowled well.
04:19Crucial wickets.
04:21And what a useful knock.
04:23Pakistan desperately needed that.
04:2539 or 20.
04:26One-fourth and three sixes.
04:29It's been a good chase.
04:31Topsy-turvy game
04:33sealed by a special innings by Seyed Afridi.
