Player of the Match: Shahid Afridi (Pakistan)

Pakistan wins the match against South Africa by seven runs in 1st Semi-Final of ICC T20 competition at Trent Bridge. Pakistan moved into finals for the second time in T20 competition. Shahid Afridi put in a stirring all-round performance as Pakistan toppled tournament favorites South Africa in the first World Twenty20 semi-final. Proteas dream of winning world cup for the first time was ended by Afridi.

Pakistan had won the toss and elected to bat first. Afridi made a brilliant effort to score 51 runs from 32 balls and former Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik scored 34 runs to put score 149 runs in 20 overs. And although Pakistan’s 149-4 did not look enough, South Africa eventually finished seven runs adrift on 142-5. Jacques Kallis hit a valiant 64 off 54 balls but there was scant support. At the end JP Duminy struggled a little bit to get a win for South Africa by scoring 44 runs but that was not enough to steal a victory from Pakistan.
