ICC World Twenty20, 2007/08 / Scorecard

ICC World Twenty20 - 1st semi final

New Zealand v Pakistan

Pakistan won by 6 wickets (with 7 balls remaining)

T20I no. 44 | 2007/08 season
Played at Newlands, Cape Town (neutral venue)
22 September 2007 (20-over match)


New Zealand innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
L Vincent	c & b Fawad Alam	28	31	28	1	1	100.00
7.5 terrific return catch - Vincent driving hard on the up and Fawad is quick to get his hands to the ball 50/1
BB McCullum†	lbw b Shahid Afridi	26	39	27	2	0	96.29
10.3 now this is a big wicket - rapped low and clearly on off, McCullum trying to sweep and missing completely 74/2
SB Styris	c Sohail Tanvir b Umar Gul	18	17	12	1	1	150.00
13.1 outside off, Styris lifts up off the bottom of his bat but can't clear the cover boundary - the ball goes up straight and back down into the hands of Sohail way inside the rope 85/3
PG Fulton	c Shoaib Malik b Umar Gul	10	12	15	0	0	66.66
13.3 two in three balls now for Gul as Fulton, standing straight, doesn't get over the ball and pops a straightforward catch to cover 87/4
LRPL Taylor	not out	37	31	23	2	2	160.86

CD McMillan	c Younis Khan b Fawad Alam	12	5	6	1	1	200.00
14.6 goes to clear long-off again with the huge lift off the bottom of the bat, but - like Styris earlier - did not get the distance and Shoaib stays firm, and strong, to take the catch yards in from the rope 104/5
JDP Oram	c †Kamran Akmal b Umar Gul	1	4	4	0	0	25.00
15.6 round the wicket again, angling in, with some lift too, and Oram's would-be carve over mid-on takes a big snick through to Akmal 106/6
DL Vettori*	run out (Shahid Afridi/Mohammad Hafeez)	0	1	0	0	0	-
16.2 Mohammad Hafeez to Taylor, wristed to midwicket, then a horrible mix-up: Vettori turning down the second and then sacrificing himself - walking out of his crease to allow Taylor to get back in 107/7
SE Bond	run out (Fawad Alam/†Kamran Akmal)	5	11	7	0	0	71.42
18.6 from Sohail Tanvir, yet another calamitous mix-up and Bond now sacrifices himself for Taylor - a drive out to cover and they come back for the two, but there was only ever one-and-a-half on at most 126/8
JS Patel	not out	0	3	0	0	0	-

Extras	(lb 1, w 3, nb 2)	6

Total	(8 wickets; 20 overs; 79 mins)	143	(7.15 runs per over)

Shahid Afridi	4	0	24	1	6.00	(2w)
10.3 to McCullum, now this is a big wicket - rapped low and clearly on off, McCullum trying to sweep and missing completely 74/2
Fawad Alam	3	0	29	2	9.66
7.5 to Vincent, terrific return catch - Vincent driving hard on the up and Fawad is quick to get his hands to the ball 50/1 14.6 to McMillan, goes to clear long-off again with the huge lift off the bottom of the bat, but - like Styris earlier - did not get the distance and Shoaib stays firm, and strong, to take the catch yards in from the rope 104/5
Umar Gul	4	0	15	3	3.75
13.1 to Styris, outside off, Styris lifts up off the bottom of his bat but can't clear the cover boundary - the ball goes up straight and back down into the hands of Sohail way inside the rope 85/3 13.3 to Fulton, two in three balls now for Gul as Fulton, standing straight, doesn't get over the ball and pops a straightforward catch to cover 87/4 15.6 to Oram, round the wicket again, angling in, with some lift too, and Oram's would-be carve over mid-on takes a big snick through to Akmal 106/6
Mohammad Hafeez	1	0	10	0	10.00


Pakistan innings (target: 144 runs from 20 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
Mohammad Hafeez	lbw b Styris	32	30	21	3	2	152.38
7.1 and they've got the breakthrough! Taufel raises where Harper declined. Hafeez was down in position to sweep, moving outside off stump, and struck in front of middle. Fair enough, and that's timely to say the least 60/1
Imran Nazir	lbw b Patel	59	48	41	3	5	143.90
12.2 had to go this time - tried to sweep a faster delivery, swooping very low in doing so, and was rapped straight in front of off 96/2
Younis Khan	c †McCullum b Vettori	4	22	15	0	0	26.66
13.3 backed away to try to cut a straight one and got a thin edge through which McCullum snapped tidily 104/3
Shoaib Malik*	not out	26	29	14	1	1	185.71

Shahid Afridi	c Fulton b Bond	6	5	5	1	0	120.00
14.3 gone this time, though - driven flat on the up straight to Fulton at mid-off 111/4
Misbah-ul-Haq	not out	16	18	17	0	1	94.11
