MATCH - 17 , CANADA VS PAKISTAN

It was a match between Canada and Afridi which Shahid Afridi won impressively.











Canada bowling first, inspired by the performance of Ireland the day before bowled very well.
After loosing their openers quickly Pakistan never came back on track and keep loosing wickets at regular intervals.

Although Umar Akmal and Misbah Ul Haq showed a little resistance in the middle of inning but not for a long time . It was the spin magic of Balagi Rao who send them back in pavilion.No other batsmen able to impress the spectators and the whole pakistani team got packed on a mere 184 runs.

Canada with a full chance to disturb the giants started their batting with a new opening pair, 3rd in their third match.The openers showed a little character and surely their lack of big stage performances used a lot of balls before got out on 8 and 2 runs respectively.

The middle order than start snailing with a very slow rate making required run rate very high ,out of reach . It was then came a splendid spell of captain Afridi who again took 5 wicket hall in recent world cup and established himself as top wicket taker in recent world cup and will enjoy that position for a long enough time.

He wrapped up Canadian inexperience middle order and also helped his team with a catch and run out.Top scorer from Canada was Jimmy Hansara who scored 43 runs on 75 balls including 4 fours and 1 six.
