Pakistan's innings was not started well and they manage to make some average total of 122, with the Sri Lankan bowlers - both pace and spin - providing meagre opportunities to score while running through the top orders, they seems destroying pakistani inings until afridi holds it and make a marvelous haflcentury(52) and some what been able to rescue them from their bad innigs. they have already lost their first T20 with srilankan by 35 runs so to save their prestige and proud the team have a bit pressure today.
Afridi shifted through his gears, whipping Perera to boundary, a stroke that had a similarity of MS Dhoni's helicopter in it, and lofting inside out to cover. It was a day of luck that he was drop on 42 by Dilshan, and he hit the innings first six in 19 over. He got to his 50 off 30 balls.
Sri Lanka will be satisfied with their performance in the field - a couple of dropped catches apart - considering they rested their captain Mahela Jayawardene and ace Twenty20 bowler Lasith Malinga. They were led by Angelo Mathews, who became his country's second-youngest captain, after Arjuna Ranatunga.
Kulasekara, however, had the final word, ending the innings like he started it, with an excellent five-run over that included Yasir Arafat's wicket.
