00:00Final number two at the World Cricket Festival. It's gonna be Pakistan taking on England.
00:05Coming in live from King Abdulaziz University Jeddah Saudi Arabia. Will it
00:10be Pakistan or will it be England that will go towards the finals? You've got
00:15Shweb Malik who's also the skipper. Alongside him Imran Nazeer. He's had a
00:21terrific run both these batters. Samit Patel is going to start with the new ball
00:24and starting with me in the comm box it's gonna be Sakibai which is also a
00:29fireball. Let's play says the umpire. And first ball it's not only going to be six
00:34but twelve runs to start off. What a way to start the semi-finals. What a way to
00:39start Shweb Malik. That's his pet shot as well. Anything shot it will punish you and
00:45that's a proper cricketing shot from Shweb Malik. And that's typical Shweb Malik for
00:51you on display. Imran Nazeer goes big and goes handsomely big.
00:58There's a lot of roll coming in from the Pakistani supporters. Samit is under pump.
01:04These two boys looks so confident. Obviously vast experience and they've been in these kind of
01:11situation, knockout situation many times. Yeah too much flight and too full and you've
01:16got to pay the price up against Imran Nazeer. He's been doing that. He plays you know big shots.
01:23Goes again. This time it's skied. It's a night skier. There's a fielder underneath. Oh drops it. Oh dear,
01:31oh dear. Pressure. The semi-finals pressure on the fielder. That's the pressure. You can't do that. You
01:38can't do that in semi-final. Win, you know catches, win matches. If you're dropping it, you're not helping
01:44your bowler. Reminding you it's not only a wicked miss but also minus eight on the scoreboard. Yeah,
01:50two things. Goes big and that's going to be a six. Don't bother watching for that one. That is out of here.
01:58Anything full is a free ball. Everything is full is a free ball. Wonderful. Great execution from Imran
02:06Nazeer. Yeah, when the kids are enjoying that. What a good shot. Straight handle. That hand-eye coordination.
02:16Goes big. Another six. Over long on. Clean handsome striking ability by Imran continues. End of the over
02:24number one and 35 without a loss on the scoreboard. Bang, bang. Ruthless approach from Pakistanis Imran
02:31and Shoaib. They are throwing. Oh, what a shot. Down on one knee. It's the second tier by Shoaib Malik.
02:45Honestly, Harman, 20 years back, I think maybe more when he used to play for Middlesex and I used to play for
02:51Surrey and he played against me as well and he used to call a bit of coffee and he used to copy John
02:56Ambry and we had a little chat. Oh, more wide runs plus the extras that will tickle away towards the
03:05boundary line. Nothing going in the favor of England and Ovesha of course. And it seems like the one overs.
03:12Yes, you read that right. Goes big. Has he got enough? You bet he does. Another maximum.
03:21Full toss is a free ball. You can't help yourself. You can't help your team if you are throwing
03:26deliveries like that against the batsmen who made almost 10,000 runs in T20. The master of shorter
03:36version. You can't, you know. Pulls it away and it's in the gap. One bounce away for a boundary.
03:46Over fine leg. Shoaib Malik recently announced his retirement. I really think he can say that.
03:54I've still got the flair. I can keep batting and bowling of course. But not from double wicket
03:59tournaments. We will go around the world and play these kind of games and we will have a great fun.
04:06Lovely shot. Proper cricketing shot through the covers on the back foot and controlling and dominating
04:14English players. Goes for the big one. And that's going to be another maximum. Another half a dozen.
04:22Reigning sixes here in the semi-final two of the World Cricket Festival.
04:26Can you believe, can you believe Herman? 73 for none. It's just 1.3 overs. Unbelievable.
04:38Goes big. This time over mid wicket. Another maximum. 79 in just 1.7 overs as he races towards 48.
04:50I thought you said 79 meters.
04:54Well, this was longer than 79 meters. Timing.
04:58Setting the standard. Shoaib Malik. Oh, what a strike. Another beautiful boundary.
05:05And joining me in the calm box to roar with the mic. We have got Rory.
05:10Thanks, Mudasa. England need some wickets and they need them five.
05:20Big swing. Outside edge. Four runs and more runs for Pakistan.
05:25Yeah, a little bit fortunate this time, Imran. Left arm orthodox. Way outside the off jump. He strikes.
05:36He gets a maximum. In trouble are the fans. I tell you what, the people in the crowd better watch out.
05:43Because I think Imran Nazir is going balls to the wall here. In this last over.
05:50Reminds me of 2000.
05:56Boom. He goes straight. A much needed maximum. And 100 comes up for Pakistan.
06:03One. That's the margin for Airy in white ball cricket. Unfortunately, he's missed. He's marked by
06:12two feet. And he's disappeared out the ground. He's managed to nail the previous two.
06:18Back-to-back maximums. Dictating the terms in the semi-final number two is the captain,
06:24Shoaib Malik. It's going to be a tough run chase this for England. I think they might need to take
06:36a wicket off the last ball to give themselves a chance. Is there a chance? Yes. At last.
06:43Taken by the fielder. The Nelson gets them a wicket. Dickie Bird.
06:48It would have been hopping around all over the place. 103, Nelson.
06:59The final ball, the fireball. How many? They'll get eight. So they'll end up exactly on Nelson.
07:10What a brilliant effort by these two dynamic players of Pakistan. The heartbeat of this side,
07:18Imran Nazir and Shoaib Malik. A mammoth total posted by these two superstars.
07:25A few games. So for sure that experience might come into play.
07:29Fireball and he gets eight. Yeah, we spoke about that. Eight, 12 or minus, minus 16. We spoke about
07:40that. So yeah, eight runs. Good start. Good start. Getting better off Shoaib Malik.
07:48Drilled on the ground. Is it a goal? Yes. Two defenders but no stopping. The first goal in the second innings.
07:58Oh my gosh. You know, they need to raise the bar of the fielding. Could have stopped this one.
08:09Unbelievable. I think one is actually dodging the other one.
08:13No proper communication between two fielders. He connects. He goes big. What a strike. The first
08:24maximum in this run. Great start from England. Samit Patel is firing. 18 for none. Just on three
08:31deliveries. Malik is in a trouble. Now that two against the experience of Shoaib Malik who
08:38pulled quite well early in England. Change of pace, change of angle, but the result will remain the same.
08:48Back to back maximums. Samit is playing wonderfully. He is reading and he is executing. Absolutely fantastic
08:58display of cricket from Samit Patel.
09:03Shoaib Malik. Oh.
09:09What a hit. Miles into the air, into the night sky.
09:14In style. He gets off the mark. A maximum.
09:17That shows they are really confident and they are playing ruthless cricket. And they really want
09:26change of angle.
09:29No look shot. But he finds the field. Oh no. He drops it. The tall Waka Saima. The super sub.
09:36Not able to hold on to it. Lucky escape for a way shot. And more runs for England.
09:42You can't do that. Unacceptable from Nirvana. From Pakistan. That wasn't a difficult catch.
09:50You just need to hold it. You know. Make a balance. And just catch it. It wasn't difficult.
09:57With one hand. Lost his grip. What a hit. What a connection. After a blistering start. England in this run.
10:05It's raining. It's raining. And it's raining heavily. It's not frizzling.
10:19Raining heavily. That's a proper shot. That's a proper shot. Playing sort of signal on that.
10:26Oh you beauty. Samit Patel. He is dictating the terms. They are inching closer to the target of 112.
10:36Samit Patel. Moves to 38. You can't give these sort of free breed deliveries to Samit Patel.
10:45He is in a really good form. And he loves ball into the block holes.
10:51Lost his shape. But he will get maximum. Trying variation.
11:00Roveshaw getting better off Imran Nazir. No respite for Pakistani bowlers.
11:08They need to break the momentum to take the wicket. Otherwise. 67 for none.
11:15Moveshaw on strike. Oh there is that one. Incredible.
11:21That swing of the bat.
11:24Is mighty. And add to that. In.
11:30Flurry of extras. Banged it shot. That's a free hit delivery.
11:33And that's been screamed away towards the square leg boundary. Sixer on the free hit.
11:39Robbing more salt on the wounds. You can see Shweb Malik.
11:42Not really a happy captain at the moment. Pulled away. Pulled with glass.
11:53Full toss. And take that.
11:55Oveshaw is bringing out the vintage. The classic Oveshaw that we had seen.
12:04It doesn't look like the time has passed since he was wearing the English cap.
12:11A lot of golf. Mind you.
12:19Beautiful. Beautiful.
12:21Oveshaw is turning the clock back.
12:23And he is entertaining us. Like never before.
12:27That was a shot and a half.
12:30Picked up from that leg side.
12:33That region that he protects so much.
12:35A clear six. Easy pickings. 97 on the scoreboard and just 2.4 overs.
12:45Dominance. But this time looks like
12:48Malik. The one hand off the bat. And Shweb Malik will take that catch.
12:55And finally, there is a little bit of cheer from the Pakistani fan.
13:01Yeah, I didn't quite get that. The one hand comes off the bat.
13:04And Shweb Malik takes a clean.
13:11Low full toss. And beautifully driven there.
13:14That square drive had a boundary written all over it.
13:16Four runs to end the over.
13:20At the end of those three overs, it's 93 for the loss of one for England.
13:24This might just end up going...
13:26I surely would have written three.
13:29Picked up from outside off and smacked it.
13:32First six. They need two more to tie.
13:37Pressure on Shweb Malik right from the word go.
13:40And Oveshaw doing the right thing.
13:41First ball, if you've got that little range, go for the big hit.
13:45And he does that. A six to start the last over.
13:49As you mentioned, 18 to tie. Now, it comes down to 12.
13:53Coming around the wicket, Shweb Malik.
13:59Yorker on the middle stump. Very well bowled.
14:02Straight to the fielder. A little fumble.
14:04His heart would be in his mouth.
14:08Pakistan got.
14:09Oh, he waits. He waits and he crashes.
14:14Good timing on that shot. Four runs.
14:18They desperately need a wicket. They desperately need those minus eight on the scoreboard.
14:22As Samith Patel moves on to 49.
14:25Too much width.
14:26And waited on till the very last to play that through the gap.
14:30Picking up the boundary.
14:37All along the carpet and will be a boundary.
14:40Now, you need to stop these. You need to put in your body behind the ball.
14:44Just the finger, just the hand won't do it.
14:47A little extra effort is required if you want your team to win.
14:50You cannot get it done by these half-baked efforts.
14:56Look at that. Now, this could have been stopped by a schoolboy.
15:00Wicket.
15:00Samith Patel, extremely smart there. He's just playing all along the carpet.
15:09Oh, they're running the second. Is this the first time we've seen a two in this format?
15:14Never before. Never before we had seen batters crossing over for two.
15:19It was only singles, but this time, winning.
15:25Worked away.
15:27This is smart cricket. Scores are leveled.
15:29Now, two more deliveries to go. Or rather, one more delivery to go.
15:32And that's a fireball. And you'll be done. Fireball.
15:37They've dabbed it down. A single has come through.
15:42And I reckon that should be it.
15:45This, I guess there's one more delivery to go, isn't it?
15:50Been a level or leg slip in position.
15:54Malik. Dabbed it.
16:00Wait.
16:02Hang on. What is happening?
16:05Looks like they didn't really get the scores right.
16:10But England, they have beaten Pakistan by one run.
16:17Or as someone would say, by the barest of the margins.
16:21Again, it's England.
16:24But this time, they're in the winning cause.
16:25Don't do it.
16:26Yeah.
16:30So...
16:30Yeah.
16:32Not, say.
16:33Yeah.
16:34Since it's just four...
16:35We must be like a.
16:35Okay.
