2 pm Toss: Sanga spins the coin, and Shahid Afridi calls right. Pakistan will bat first. "Best conditions to bat first. Morale is quite high. Very important game for us. We know it is a good batting wicket. Same team that played against Kenya. With our bowling strength, I will be satisfied at 270."

[fasco_buk]

Sanga: "Chamara Silva is in for Kapugedera. Rangana Herath is in for Mendis. We are not going to take a risk with Malinga right now. Anything around 270-280 is a chaseable total. That's what we will hope to restrict them to."

No Malinga, no Mendis. Pakistan have stuck to three specialist bowlers, in Shoaib, Gul and Rehman. Makes this one too close to call.What do you think? Who will win this one?

Pakistan 13/0 (3.0 ov)
Ahmed Shehzad not out 11 16
Mohammad Hafeez not out 0 2
Extras (lb 1, w 1) 2

Ahmed Shehzad c †Sangakkara b Perera
5.3 135.8 kph, got 'em! Shehzad had shown signs of impatience the previous delivery, and this time he was lured into a drive outside off stump, it was pitched on a length, and moved away slightly to produce the fatal edge, bounced a lot more than usual too, and Sanga doesn't let go of those 28/1

[fasco_buk]

Pakistan 47/1 (8.1 ov)

Mohammad Hafeez not out 22/ 17
Kamran Akmal† not out 8/ 9

Total (1 wicket; 8.1 overs) 47 (5.75 runs per over)

Mashallah achi batting ker rahay hain. Allah khair keray. Inshallah Pakistan jeetay ga. All depends on the way they bat. Bowling is what we are best at so I am not worried about that.
