00:00And that's what these two Pakistan batsmen will try and do.

00:21What a day for the 19 year old Faisal Hassan.

00:2810 first class matches. He's playing in the World 2020 Semi-Final.

00:35Dry and flat.

00:38Pakistan away. Listen to the cheers.

00:43Good stroke by Cameron Acknow. He's dangerous.

00:48Hits away. Hits hard. Hit for four. Eight from the first over.

00:55Fraction. Probably outside the line of off stump. Up in the air.

00:59Fielder tries to get round. He gets there. Takes the catch. They don't drop many.

01:04Van der Merwe. It's him again on this ground. Brilliant catch to dismiss

01:08Pedersen. Now he's got the first catch to dismiss

01:11Shazib. Wayne Parnell again. It's all going his way

01:16but that was a terrific catch. Not a good stroke. Has to be said.

01:20Eight for one. He was into position quickly because this delivery was short

01:24enough. Previous one wasn't.

01:29That was a fantastic catch by Rulof van der Merwe.

01:33And he's excited. Why wouldn't he be? He's enjoying his cricket. He's had a

01:37meteoric rise in the international arena.

01:42That's how you play the Paul Schilt.

01:46Hits it hard for four. What a great stroke. Cameron Ackmore.

01:53That's why if you pitch it up you get whacked straight back over your head. Good

01:57start from Afridi. Good start Pakistan. 22 for one.

02:04What a shot that is. Unbelievable. Was it back foot? Was it front foot?

02:10We'll see. It was six.

02:14Well that could be a way of doing it.

02:17Spliced up in the air. Takes the catch.

02:21Ackmal can't believe what he's done. Staying pumped up. South Africa pumped up.

02:33So Ackmal gone. 23 off 12. Pakistan 28 for two.

02:38Short. He's nailed it over mid wicket for four.

02:45Well he played and missed a couple of times but not this time.

02:50Short again. Hits hard again. Four more.

02:56End of the over. 43 for two.

03:02Well it's a good hit of almost anything.

03:07Excellent innings this from Afridi. 50 of the partnership comes up.

03:15And is that going to be three in a row? Yes it is.

03:19He's targeted that area and Johan Borders feeding the heat here.

03:24Well because he has...

03:27Anything can happen here. It's up in the air.

03:31They don't drop them these South Africans and that's easily taken.

03:35Slur on the ball. This bad didn't work for him.

03:40Smith's done it again. Excellent captaincy from Smith. He's really

03:45gambled with Dumini. Just a different type of bowler.

03:50From Johan Botha. Afridi's gone. Well played. 51 of 34. Pakistan 95 for three.

03:57Watch the way he tosses this up and why was Afridi swinging across the line?

04:01He was playing so well hitting straighter.

04:04First time he swung across the line off the spinner

04:07and he top edged it.

04:15Just got better. It's a poor ball. That's a good one.

04:20Yeah kick of the dirt by Van Der Merwe. A little bit like Botha when he's got his

04:24quicker delivery and he's...

04:28Oh just over. You're always target. That's what the moment you go over cover it's

04:32always a boundary.

04:41Runs coming from everywhere. You'd look at this game and say are there

04:45any fielders in green at all?

04:50That's the chance. Should be out. Should it? It's too long. No.

04:54Good effort. Johan Botha is the man at deep mid-off and Van Der Merwe

05:01picks up another wicket. He was very calm underneath that delivery.

05:06Johan Botha knew exactly where the boundary was.

05:12Malik didn't quite get it out of the middle of the bat. So he perishes for 34.

05:17Pakistan 124 for four.

05:21Showed Malik played a steady innings but he had to try and push things along.

05:25Just didn't quite middle that the way he wanted to.

05:32Can Pakistan post 150? Well that's exactly what South Africa

05:38will have to get. 149 for four from their 20 overs Pakistan.

05:42South Africa will need 150 runs and you can see Graham Smith

05:47very happy with the situation. So it looked like getting away on South

05:51Africa there at one stage but they have managed to pull it back

05:55absolutely superbly. 29 runs off the last five overs Kipler.

06:00Good effort.

06:30Absolutely and I guess their plans as well would be to get ahead of the rate

06:33because all the threat from Pakistan comes towards the end of the innings.

06:37Umar Ghul reverse swinging it later in the innings. The two, three, four spinners.

06:41So maybe target this new ball. The new ball came on beautifully

06:46for the Pakistan openers. It looks a good surface for the new ball but as the

06:49ball gets old it gets tired.

06:53Oh lovely shot. Lovely start from Jacques Callas. He's waited for the

06:58half-volley and he's put it away.

07:09Chance. No. Wide of the fieldsman. Four runs.

07:14The Freedy straight away goes up to the bowler. His first ball.

07:19Four. Leg side. Tucked away.

07:24All that time it took Razak and Yunus Khan to get the field.

07:30It's a good shot. The on-drive is one of the nicest shots to watch

07:33in the game and played by one of the best.

07:42Well this time somebody's got to take it. Three people take it. Bowler goes for it

07:47and takes it.

07:50Not the most confident of innings from Grants but then it's over.

07:53Pakistan storming back into this game. Are there any South Africans in the

07:58crowd there?

08:02So Smith is gone for 10 and South Africa 44-1.

08:10Started out well. That will go all the way.

08:14Just a gentle ball outside of stamina. Can Gibbs play the innings that matters?

08:22He's mugged that off-stump. What a start for Afridi. Everything he touches today

08:27turns to gold. Big big moment in this game.

08:33Hershel Gibbs. Ball by Afridi.

08:38Is this going to be his day then? South Africa

08:4246-2. Exceptional with his fielding. This was

08:48the danger man departing. Hershel Gibbs beautifully bowled. Very well bowled.

08:52Straighter delivery. No turn. Ball before that was turned. But this one is straighter.

08:56Look at Shahid Afridi. That's his day.

09:03Played on. Back with Afridi.

09:08Oh is he the king of Lahore and Peshawar and Karachi and Nottingham.

09:14He's putting a wonderful evening here for Pakistan.

09:18It's Shahid Afridi's day. What an important wicket. The man in form departs.

09:22AB de Villiers for one. South Africa 50-3.

09:27This was AB de Villiers leaving. Inside edge to a quick delivery to

09:33his stumps. With every ball that Afridi and Ajmal are

09:37bowling it seems like a better and better toss to a man.

09:47Oh just give him room. And he picks the gap beautifully.

09:51Just what South Africa needed here. Just marginally short. That shows you what a

09:55good player Callis is.

09:59This time the ball just drifting in. This is what Jacques Callis was trying to do.

10:03Take on Umar Gul. Played his favorite shot through the covers.

10:0783-3.

10:11Hasn't got hold of it but that's allowed the ball to go in between those two

10:15fielders and it's gone all the way.

10:18Welcome boundary here for South Africa.

10:22This has gone high up in the sky and he's got the distance too.

10:28Well I don't like to say I told you so Sanjay but

10:30I just I just could not for the life of me understand this decision.

10:40Is this going to be caught? Shahid Malik's underneath it and he takes a solid cap.

10:44Big moment for Pakistan. Ajmal strikes. Callis

10:48the danger man is gone.

10:52He was a right fielder there Shahid Malik. Cool as a cucumber. Shahid Ajmal.

10:56Experience matters like I said in this version of the game. The danger man

11:00departs for 64. South Africa 111-4.

11:12It's a boundary. Full toss.

11:16Full toss. Well struck by J.P. Dumeney.

11:20Instead of Yorker. Brave delivery.

11:26That's six. Full toss on leg stump.

11:30That's the length. He doesn't want a ball.

11:34Good shot.

11:38That's a terrific delivery.

11:42That's A. N. Abimokal. Great throw.

11:46Terrific fielding.

11:50Everything was happening for Pakistan. Direct hit.

11:54Mohammad Abil wasn't behind the stumps to take the ball.

11:58Wow. What a throw.

12:02What a throw. Direct at the stumps. Under pressure.

12:06Abimokal departs for two. South Africa 134-5.

12:10Pakistan to qualify.

12:14This probably go for the boundary. Doesn't matter.

12:18As long as he doesn't bowl a no ball.

12:22Great shot but perhaps too little, too light.

12:26Remember he's only 17. We can give him a bit of leverage here.

12:30This is amazingly ball and Pakistan have

12:34qualified for the World ICC T20.

12:38What a fairytale this for Pakistan.

12:42Look at the crowd going crazy here.

12:46What an upset Pakistan today. Quite brilliant.

12:50South Africa have been brilliant throughout the tournament but

12:54Pakistan today played the better cricket.
