Pakistan have placed them successfully in the finals of ICC World Twenty20 2009. Pakistan defeated the South Africa by 7-runs in the 1st semi-final played in Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Thursday (click here for H/L Video). This is the second time in the two T20 World Cup played till now, Pakistan have been to the finals. Last time Pakistan were in the finals at South Africa on 2007 where they were defeated by India by a small margin.
Talking about the Pakistan recent form it seems to have lots of ups and downs. But Pakistan looks always a strong side and they are the favorite in the 20 over format games. During the initial phases to the T20 series in England Pakistan seemed to be struggling. Losing both the warm-up matches Pakistan had a poor start in the tournament where they lost against the host England in their first group stage match. But they comeback well and fight for the super 8 position.
Same thing on Super eight stage, Pakistan were trembling badly in the initial match and pressure on winning the rest of two matches. Thanks a lot to their great performance against the New Zealand and Ireland which made their way in the semis of ICC World Twenty20 2009. Then, Pakistan faced the unbeaten team in the tournament i.e., South Africa in the final. Pressure built match for the teams.
Thanks to the all-round performance of Shahid Afridi that roared the Pakistan to the Sunday match at Lord's. Shahid Afridi fired a quick knock of 53 and took 2-16 which was key in the Pakistan success in semi-finals. The inform bowlers' like Gul and Ajmal were fully on support to the team.
This year Pakistan will really like to change the history and win the ICC World Twenty20 to themselves. The other semi-finalist are Sri Lanka and West Indies who will play on Friday for the ticket to Lord's. This moment is talking about Pakistan. Congratulations!! to Pakistan team and fans!! They deserved the victory.
