Irfan gets rid of dangerous Afridi for a duck
After Nazir’s wicket, Younis Khan (24) and Misbah-Ul-Haq tried to get Pakistan back in the match. But then Joginder Sharma got Younis’ wicket and Irfan removed captain Shoaib Malik as well. All eyes were set on Shahid Afridi, who was expected to make the chase easy for the Men in Green.
But Irfan Pathan had other ideas and bowled a quick short one to Afridi, who was caught by Sreesanth at mid-on for a first-ball duck and it severely dented the chase, while Irfan Pathan managed to pick 3/16 in 4 overs and won the Player of the Finals.
