00:00Being played by Amit Shehzad.
00:02Oh!
00:02Burlame!
00:03He made room and that's it.
00:07Yorker from Rezaad.
00:12That's why Shehzad was giving himself room.
00:14But gave himself too much room.
00:19That's the reaction all around the stadium here now in Merkur.
00:23They know how big this wicket is.
00:26He's thrown it away.
00:27Shehzad made 103.
00:29Pakistana 210 for four.
00:35And at number six is Abdur Rahman.
00:37It's not a surprise pick for Ms. Paul Haq because left arm is a bowling so...
00:46That's a chip shot.
00:48Is he going to go?
00:49That's drop shot of the fielder.
00:52Very good try by the man at long off.
00:54Now there's a man underneath it.
01:02And it's all over for Abdur Rahman.
01:06Nothing you can safely say.
01:08This is the dismissal.
01:10Well it certainly worked in the paper of Bangladesh.
01:12They'll be very happy to see him.
01:15He picked up the wicket.
01:16He picked up the wicket.
01:17Look at that.
01:18Mushfiku Rahim.
01:19Easy catch from Zia Rahman.
01:21At long on.
01:22Mahmoud Nariyad picks up the wicket.
01:24That's what he wanted.
01:26Happy faces.
01:28Bangladeshak.
01:29Bangladeshak.
01:30Punished to send back up to Rahman for eight.
01:34Pakistan.
01:37Right.
01:38Pass in your seatbelts.
01:41Shahid Apridi is here.
01:49Not even one.
01:50In business.
01:51Straight away.
01:52Over the boundary for six.
01:59And that's a good move.
02:00That's a really good move.
02:01But they know they need boundaries.
02:03Neel Ekrel runs into Nova.
02:05And he's a...
02:07Hit a first ball six.
02:10Now he's down over Kawa.
02:11And that's a monster.
02:12Shahid Apridi has been sent out on a mission here.
02:18And that's the effect he has on people.
02:20And I'm sure he's got that kind of effect already at the moment.
02:23On the Bangladesh team.
02:2578 meter six.
02:27On the opposition.
02:28Shaqib.
02:32Now that's a long way up.
02:33Fielder will just watch it sail over.
02:37And once again I think he might just have chipped it marginally.
02:40All the three occasions he's tried that.
02:42He's picked up three sixes.
02:45And he's not gonna hold himself back.
02:47That is another one.
02:48Another big one.
02:52Now over long off.
02:55Push the boundary to Chittagong at one end.
02:57And Cox's Bazar at the other.
02:58And there's still not be enough.
03:03You really think so?
03:05Well that is a big hit.
03:06That is a really big shot.
03:08Because of Bangladeshi's support after I would.
03:11Extra cover on the boundary.
03:14There he goes.
03:15That's the biggest of them all.
03:19That is in orbit.
03:21That is enormous.
03:23Huge.
03:25That's gone a long way.
03:26And the run rate now certainly under nine.
03:29Ten runs into Nova.
03:30Nine point three five.
03:32What a turnaround.
03:33There's Shafiel Islam.
03:34He'll get the single.
03:35Well played.
03:36Fawad Alam.
03:37Comeback match.
03:38He gets a half century.
03:39Stayed around towards the second half of Emma Chazard's innings when he was going full steam.
03:52Full steam.
03:56There.
03:57That's in his zone.
03:58And he can hit it safely for four.
04:01Because cover and mid offer in.
04:05And he's on to 41.
04:07Longov has dropped back.
04:08Third man is inside the circle.
04:11He's connected this one and it is somewhere in the stands.
04:15Just keep a whole box full of balls by the umpire because you're going to need all of those.
04:19Fastest 50 in one day international history.
04:25Sanat Jayasurya with 17.
04:26Yes.
04:27Yes ma'am.
04:28That's exactly what you saw.
04:3190 meters.
04:37There it goes.
04:39That's the shot we were talking about.
04:41Pine leg was inside the circle.
04:42Afridi gets to a 50 from just 18 balls.
04:45He's the joint second fastest and he's equaled his own record.
04:49And he's made no secret of his sponsor.
04:51281 for five.
04:58That's a good goal.
04:59Has there been an edge?
05:00Has there been an edge?
05:02He has finished his celebration.
05:04And then he's looked on.
05:05The umpire has not put his hand up.
05:09That's what you need to look at.
05:10It's beautifully bowled.
05:15He's missed it by a wide margin.
05:18If Anamul Hak was ever umpire he wouldn't get too many games.
05:29Up in the air.
05:30Who's going to claim it?
05:32It's gone to short cover.
05:34He drops it.
05:38Mushfigu Raheem.
05:40Puts it down.
05:43Oh Afridi.
05:44They dropped you in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
05:46There'd be someone coming to rescue you.
05:50Wasn't the easiest catch.
05:51It was swirling.
05:52But he had all the time in the world to come underneath it.
05:56Oh dear.
05:57Oh dear.
05:58Don't worry.
05:59Don't worry young ladies.
06:0022 year.
06:01It's not done yet.
06:02Maybe they're fans of Mushfigu.
06:05It's gone up.
06:06Way up in the air.
06:07And it was a Mushfigu Raheem.
06:09Look at the crowd.
06:10Knowing that it's going to be taken.
06:11It's not.
06:12It's dropped.
06:13Would you believe it?
06:15It's the captain Mushfigu Raheem.
06:17In and out.
06:19They cannot believe it.
06:20Look at the reaction.
06:27It's only cricket.
06:30Everyone allowable around the boundary line.
06:33They're not even taking a start.
06:36Oh that's a fine shot.
06:39That is a tremendous shot.
06:41Because it's also a very clever shot.
06:43What a shot.
06:48What a shot that is.
06:51What a Norway just scooped it on the lake.
06:53That is gone all the way for his 7-6.
06:56Magnificent.
06:58Innovative.
06:59Yes he is in a lot of pain.
07:00But he still managed to pick up a 6.
07:04Spread the word.
07:09Now he's going to struggle with a direct hit.
07:10It is a direct hit.
07:11It is a direct hit.
07:12It is a direct hit.
07:13Poor Afridi.
07:14He was struggling to get there.
07:15Should he have taken it.
07:17They are celebrating the Bangladeshis.
07:19Like they have won a cricket match.
07:21There is still time left.
07:23Bush Fikur Rahim says thank you very much.
07:25Shaqib I think it was with a direct hit.
07:28But.
07:29The umpires called for a replay.
07:31The tears are being wiped off here.
07:33Can they be replaced by a smile.
07:35Watch for the replay here.
07:38It's a long time since I have seen a cricket match.
07:40With so much drama in it.
07:41I think he's gone.
07:42He's gone by 6 inches.
07:43Afridi.
07:44Could not stretch.
07:46I still maintain his quicker than some of the others.
07:48Between wickets.
07:49But he could not stretch.
07:53Stop what you're doing.
07:54This was a sensation.
07:55Just stand up and applaud.
08:00I think after they finish celebrating.
08:02They will dawn on this hope.
08:03This crowd here.
08:05At Mirpool.
08:06They have seen something quite special.
08:1059 from 25.
08:11He's taken them to the brink of a win.
08:15294 for 6.
08:19Touching distance now for Pakistan.
08:22Still need more than 10 runs in Anova.
08:25But what Bangladesh has done is picked up Shahid Afridi.
08:29Brilliant throw.
08:30It's Umar Akbar who's come in.
08:35He likes hitting square.
08:36There's third man point.
08:37Cover point.
08:40Now he goes in with the shot.
08:41And he clears the boundary.
08:44Hang on.
08:45There's life beyond Shahid Afridi in this game.
08:46Fawad Alam is coming to the party here.
08:49What a hit.
08:50And what a clean hit.
08:53Lovely shot.
08:54And that's the way he has to go.
08:56Expecting him to pick up a boundary.
08:58It's not that.
08:59He's picked up a 6.
09:00It's gone a long way.
09:0173 meters.
09:03Right.
09:04He's connected with this one.
09:05And he's deposited that in the stands as well.
09:08What a shot from Fawad Alam.
09:10And Pakistan are now sauntering home here.
09:13His highest score.
09:14Certainly picking up Abdul Huzak and hitting that way beyond any field.
09:25That is a biggie.
09:26When he came on to bat, Shahid Afridi.
09:32I don't know if he's keeping track of runs and balls.
09:36Now Umar Akmal.
09:43And he will go over Kawa.
09:45Easily done by Umar Akmal.
09:48What a fine player he is.
09:51I think Bangladesh can be proud of what they've done.
09:53They've just been taken away.
09:56They'll be very proud to what, especially the batsmen, the way they batted.
09:59That is a class act.
10:01Umar Akmal act.
10:02Inside out.
10:03Not an easy shot to play when one bounce over to the fence.
10:05What a terrific game of cricket this has been.
10:19Absolutely brilliant.
10:23Can they come back for two?
10:28They're coming back for two.
10:29Well played by Fawad Alam.
10:30He just gently nudged it.
10:32Didn't try to hit the ball too hard on your feet.
10:34On your feet, Fawad.
10:35On your feet.
10:36He's down on the ground when he's completed two.
10:38Three hundred and twenty four for six.
10:39That's three needed of the last over.
10:42Has he done something to his back there?
10:44Will he be good enough to play?
10:46Amazingly batting at number eight.
10:48Fines the fielder.
10:49That was the last time a ball wasn't scored off.
10:51Oh dear, what are you doing Umar Akmal?
10:52That's another dot ball.
10:53Now there's a little more drama here.
10:54He'll pick up a single and I think it's just as well.
10:55They take the single.
10:56Fawad Alam looks a little more composed.
10:57Get one more in.
10:58Get one more in.
10:59Now at the non-strikers.
11:00End of strike.
11:01End of struggle.
11:02What is it?
11:03Oh dear, what are you doing Umar Akmal?
11:04That's another dot ball.
11:05Now there's a little more drama here.
11:17He'll pick up a single and I think it's just as well.
11:20They take the single.
11:21Fawad Alam looks a little more composed.
11:23Get one more in.
11:27Now at the non-strikers end of struggle.
11:30What is happening here Pakistan?
11:32We put Umar Akmal back in strike but there is a run out.
11:39But Umar Akmal has succeeded in running Fawad Alam out here.
11:45Now was that too far?
11:49He was never going to make it.
11:51And while the world will talk about Afpreidis.
12:00Just for a moment I thought maybe they might be called a wide.
12:03It was not.
12:06So the fans have stayed back.
12:09Watching them picking up their highest runs in one day the national.
12:12And then this terrific chase from Pakistan.
12:15Now Umar Akmal two from two.
12:18This is another thriller.
12:21And he finds the gap on the on side.
12:24And that will be good enough.
12:25Umar Akmal has won the game for Pakistan.
12:26Well played.
12:28This is now the biggest run chase.
12:32In all of Pakistan's history in one day internationals.
12:35They've had many heroes.
12:36Ahma Shahzad, Fawad Alam.
12:39And most dramatically once again you'd have to say Shahidah Preeti.
12:43Spare of thought for Bangladesh though.
12:47I thought they had a wonderful game today.
12:49And it wasn't enough.
12:51Well you can look at this moment of victory for Shahidah Preeti.
12:53But even while walking he's looking in a bit of trouble.
12:56He was swinging from the hip.
12:58Now this was the last ball.
13:00This is the winning moment.
13:01He's mowed it through Midwaget Umar Akmal.
13:03And that's good enough.
13:05For Pakistan to secure one of the most famous wins.
13:09I know you could look at these pictures and say no.
13:11The more famous win came a couple of days ago.
13:13But this is now their highest run chase.
13:15Yeah, slightly poignant moment there.
13:22I think Bangladesh will be aware of the fact that they did their best.
13:27Let's go to the numbers after all the drama.
13:29Ahma Shahzad, don't forget his contribution.
13:31It was a wonderful innings.
13:32103.
13:33I think he should have actually gone and won it.
13:35Habeas provided the momentum early on.
13:37Fawad Alam ensured that the game was alive till the end.
13:40And then our Preeti 59 from 25 balls.
13:43When all was, all seemed gone for Pakistan.
13:5069 from 33.
13:52Freeti and Fawad Alam.
13:54Then Fawad Alam and Umar Akmal 31.
13:56So just add those.
13:57That's 100 runs there.
13:59Coming in, in 50 balls.
14:02105 from 94 was a good one.
14:04Between Shahzad and Fawad Alam.
14:07Fawad Alam, the common factor there.
14:09Don't ever underestimate his role today.
14:13Shafil Islam, none for 49.
14:16Shaki bowled well actually.
14:17One for 53 in a six-and-a-half run game is not bad at all.
14:20Razak, that was the odd one.
14:22He was expensive.
14:23And in that period in between, when Pakistan looked like falling back,
14:26Mohmin Ullak and Mamudullah bowled some quiet overs in.
14:29So Fawad Alam after three-and-a-half years, 1,212 days later.
14:3574 from 70 balls in a match-winning effort.
14:38Shahzad, Afridi laddings, their bowling is a stronger arm.
14:43The banning won it today for Pakistan by three.
14:45After Anamul Hak had made a hundred.
14:46It seems so long ago that Anamul Hak made a hundred.
14:49Four half centuries and of 44 from 16 balls that you don't see up there for Shahzad.
14:55Shahzad.
14:56Now you don't need to do any more calculations.
15:01Sri Lanka 13, Pakistan have finished the tournament with 13.
15:05Sri Lanka have a game in hand.
15:06But now no one else can catch up with them.
15:08But there's India playing tomorrow against Afghanistan.
15:10And then Sri Lanka rounded off against Bangladesh on Thursday before we have the final on Saturday.
15:15Now we come to the Man of the Match Award winner.
15:18And it's that man again, Shahzad Afridi.
15:23He'll collect his cheque, 5,000 from Mr. Sultan Rana.
