Afridi inspired Pakistan to bounce back and sqaure T20 series

Shahid Afridi, Star of second T20 International....
















Shahid Afridi's superb all-round helped Pakistan to an easy 23-runs victory over Sri Lanka.

Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat and collapsed to 41-4. But then came in Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik, who took the game away from the lankans posting a 58 runs partnership, which gave them a lift. Because these two, Pakistan finaly got to 122-6 after 20 overs, when it was looking they might not even get 100 runs.

In reply, hosts Sri Lanka were shot out for just 99, which is their lowest T20 score against Pakistan. Yasir Arafat and Mohammad Sami were very imperssive as they both got 3 wickets. Shahid Afridi got two while Saeed Ajmal also managed to get a wicket in his last over. Shahid Afridi was named man of the match for his terrific allround performance.


The series was squared 1-1 so both team had to share the trophy.
