Shoaib Malik- last over 1 L1 6 4 4 6 Total 22 runs!
Also,
succesive 3 sixes prevoius over.
Pakistan are 277 for 6. SA need 278.

Looks like Pakistan were not that weak a team heh. Makes BD effort look respectable.

Amazing how that run rate turned around in the last 5 overs. Shoiab Malik...amazing. Go the Proteas!!! I hope Smith scores some runs

I know this sounds silly but for the sake of BD I am rooting for a Pakistan win. It makes us look better in a kind of paranoid way.

Pakistan is not weak at all. They batted superbly and also bowling really good. Most probably they will win today!!!! Bangladesh did good chasing the total they set for us during our tour...looking at SA team right now...me happy

wisden quote: one of the very best late-order innings ever seen in one-day international cricket.

Damn I miss watching cricket on TV.

Pakistan won, hmm...yes, Bangladesh did well against a strong team then.

Here's the Pak vs SA scorecard:

The opening batsman carried the bat through, and yet they couldn't win. I haven't watched the match obviously, but I have a feeling Shoaib and Sami generated some lethal reverse swing in the late overs.

Carte Blanche · #10 October 3, 2003, 03:11 PM

Ahh.. Mushtaq got hammered for 65 from 10 overs.

Arnab · #11 October 3, 2003, 04:42 PM

I think this can only be possible by South Africa. With 8 wickets in hand after reaching 240, they couldn't finish it off. Born chokers.
