Australia vs Pakistan
ICC World 20-20, AUS vs PAK, Super 8: Pakistan beat Australia by 6 wickets
Sep 18, 2007


Chasing a total of 164 runs for victory against Australia, Pakistan managed to recover well led by its captain Shoaib Malik and Misbah Ul Haq, who scored a brilliant fifty. Pakistan required just 22 runs of last three overs. However a straight drive from Misbah meant Pakistan now need just 16 runs on same number of balls.
Batting first on a placid Johannesburg wicket against a formidable bowling attack of Pakistan, Australia managed to their rivals a decent total of 164 runs to chase. Australia in pursuit lost wickets at regular intervals, which stopped them from putting a mammoth total.
