Nazir costs Pakistan super sixes title


Australia pulled off a highly unlikely win over Pakistan in the final of Hong Kong super sixes. Pakistan were the hot-favorites for the title with Australia needing 44 runs of the last over however Imran Nazir, bowled about 12 wides and a couple of no balls to gift Australia the trophy with 1 ball to spare. Honestly, I don't know what the hell happened there.

Pakistan scored 133 in five overs thanks to a violent 28 ball 92 from the youngster Ahmed Shehzad. Australia rode on power hitting from their captain David Warner (35*), Glen Maxwell (34) and Ryan Carters (31*) to storm to an improbable victory.

This brings me memories of the World Twenty20 W.C semi-final where Australia's Hussey smashed Saeed Ajmal all over the place to take Australia to the final when the match was only Pakistan's to win.
