Imran Nazir had been a revelation in the year 2007, where he had scored a scintillating century in the ICC World Cup 2007 that season against Zimbabwe. He had also made good scores in the World T20, including a nice fifty against South Africa.

He looked in ominous touch against India in the final itself and negated the fact that India had taken early wickets of Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Akmal. Nazir went on his merry ways hitting 33 in 14 balls with 4 fours and 2 sixes. However, he had come into the game with a hamstring injury which hampered his running and that resulted in him losing his wicket. He was run out by a direct hit by Robin Uthappa and his dismissal proved to be a turning point for India in the match.
