Wahab Riaz delivered a standout amongst the most fearsome spells in World Cup history yet Australia, helped by some poor Pakistan fielding, weathered the storm and set up a semi-last standoff with India. Pursuing 214 to win this quarter-last, Australia confronted inconvenience at 59 for 3. Wahab delivered a bouncer flood to Shane Watson at the same time, in the same way as a punch safeguard prior in the day, Watson wobbled yet did not fall, and was there to strike the triumphant runs.
The key minute came when Wahab's endeavors prompted a top edge from Watson that flew high to fine leg, where Rahat Ali invented to drop the easiest of possibilities. Wahab let out a shout, and you could sense all the weight he had fabricated gradually scatter. Wahab was playing like a cornered tiger; Rahat after his drop resembled a cornered little cat. Pakistan soon used up vitality and choices. Watson, Steven Smith and Glenn Maxwell secured the outcome.
Generally as Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene left ODI cricket with a frustrating misfortune on Wednesday, so excessively will Misbah-ul-Haq and Shahid Afridi. Misbah was constantly in the diversion, however, his 34 serving to remake Pakistan's innings and his captaincy making inquiries of Australia. Who'd have imagined that in a World Cup quarter-last a 40-year-old captain would be under the head protector at short leg?
Anyhow so Misbah was as the weight based on Australia. Wahab's introductory six-over spell brought 2 for 24 - David Warner slice to third man and Michael Clarke battled a short one to a man in close. The Clarke wicket was demonstrative of Pakistan's methodology, and it just got to be clearer when Watson arrived.
Wahab effervesced many, many bouncers at Watson's head and midsection; Watson ducked and battled ponderously. He scored just four times off Wahab in that spell, one took off the shoulder of the bat shy of third man, one was the drop by Rahat. At the flip side, Smith had no such inconvenience, placidly accumulating runs, spread driving with impeccable timing and arrangement. As far as familiarity, viewing Smith and Watson batting together was similar to seeing Winston Churchill attempting to talk with Manuel from Fawlty Towers.
Be that as it may once Wahab was so depleted it would have been impossible proceed with, Watson was an alternate batsman. He quickly pulled Sohail Khan for four, and the runs started to stream. Smith fittingly raised his half-century with an eminent spread commute for four off Rahat from his 51st conveyance, however was in the long run lbw to Ehsan Adil strolling over his stumps for 65.
Maxwell joined Watson after the 89-run Smith-Watson stand and played some stunning shots, including a tennis crush that took off the casing of his racquet, or bat, and was put around Sohail at third man. Commonly, it was off a Wahab short ball. Pakistan will go no further in this competition, yet it won't be through any absence of exertion from Wahab. Maxwell was on 44 and Watson 64 when the triumph came.
Pakistan's fielding was poor, however their most serious issue was their batting. Their innings offered more cameos than a Robert Altman film, however no lead part. Eight batsmen came to twofold figures yet no one scored a fifty. When a strong 73-run remain in the middle of Misbah and Haris Sohail was broken, it was a consistent decrease. Still, from 24 for 2 in the sixth over, they were maybe lucky to try and rupture 200.
Misbah began gradually and looked set to perform yet an alternate salvage mission, and together with Haris disappointed the Australians. At last, however, it was Pakistan who were baffled. Attempting to lift the run rate, Misbah succumbed to 34 off 59 conveyances, and was taken after not long after by a level footed Haris, who edged behind off Mitchell Johnson for 41 off 57.
Bovine corner transformed into sheep corner as one by one the Pakistan batsmen took after one another foolishly into insensibility by working to the man at profound midwicket. Misbah was the pioneer of the herd. Twice he had tidied the midwicket limit up Maxwell, yet when he strove for a third he oversaw just a top edge that was agreeably taken by Aaron Finch.
Maybe enticed by the short square limits, Umar Akmal likewise sent a catch straight to Finch at profound midwicket off Maxwell. At that point it was Afridi, who miscued his force off Josh Hazlewood and was well gotten by Finch over his head back close to the limit. Akmal had made 20 off 25, Afridi had struck 23 off 15. In the event that it is Afridi's last ODI innings, it was no less than a normal one.
A 30-run remain between Sohaib Maqsood and Wahab quickly irritated the Australians, albeit basically in light of the fact that such a large number of balls zoomed passed their outside edges. The seeds for Wahab's forceful bowling may have been sowed when Mitchell Starc appeared to exhort him that the ball was white, and he ought to attempt to hit it. There was approximately pressure at the time, however they were offering a grin or two before long.
Maqsood succumbed to 29 when he cut Hazlewood to point, and Wahab was away for 16 when he edged behind off Starc. Hazlewood had moved the ball early and completed with 4 for 35, legitimizing the choice of the selectors to review him in front of Pat Cummins, and Starc bowled well for his two. Pakistan limped to the 50th over however 213 was barely what Misbah had as a top priority when he decided to bat.
However then, perhaps it was a fair exertion given both openers gone inside the initial six overs. Sarfraz Ahmed and Ahmed Shehzad both edged to slip to be gotten low to the ground by plunging fielders, Watson off Starc for Sarfraz and Clarke off Hazlewood for Shehzad. It was almost 24 for 3 in the sixth over when Misbah had a stroke of favorable luck.
The second ball that Misbah confronted flicked the leg stump keeping in mind the punch safeguard lit up, it just bounced quickly out of its score and became alright, denying Hazlewood a wicket. Misbah may have been discharged on safeguard, yet Pakistan did not have the important departure plan to escape from penitentiary in this match.
