Australia vs Pakistan - Australia tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 - 2nd T20I – Pakistan grab a miraculous series victory – Live Score and Update
Pakistan 151/4 (20/20 ov) v Australia 151/8 (20.0/20 ov) - Match tied (Pakistan won the one-over eliminator)
T20I cannot get any better than what was witnessed today at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where Pakistan grabbed a miraculous series win against Australia, taking the game right down to the one-over eliminator where the Greens reached the required target of 12 runs without any loss, thanks to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Razzaq-c84421.
Finally the Men in Green under the captaincy of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 managed to win a series against the Aussies after nearly a decade, exhibiting their superiority in the T20 format.
No matter what his critics argue, all-rounder Abdul Razzaq is still a match-winning player for Pakistan, and today was no different as the 32-year-old Lahore-born saved the day for Pakistan by denying Australia the ten runs needed to win in the final over.
The all-rounder bowled a superb over, dismissing Aussie skipper Bailey on his first delivery. The demise of the Australian wicket made the Pakistanis go ballistic with them now attacking the Aussies like a pack of wolves.
Getting smacked for six on the penultimate delivery by Cummins, almost pushed Pakistan to the point of no return, but Razzaq left the Aussie fans in tears by grabbing another wicket on the final delivery, denying the Aussies a run needed to win.
With the game levelled with both sides on 151, it went down to the one-over eliminator, and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301.
Earlier needing 152 to win, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 punishing the Pakistan bowlers.
It took the spin magician Saeed Ajmal to break this partnership, as he dismissed Warner who had bolstered a knock of 31 runs.
Later, Watson was also sent back by Ajmal, after he had amassed a total of 33 runs off 28 deliveries.
Skipper, GJ Bailey, was then the only hard nut to crack for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 as he hammered an innings of 42 runs with the rest of the batsmen failing to score freely against the very aggressive Pakistani bowling attack.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 shared two wickets each before the one-over eliminator.
Ajmal was named as the Player of the Match.
