S.Afridi played a watchfull innigs of quick 109 that too with some injuries. he played superbly under pressure. It was altogether a different afridi taking the responsibilities in his shoulder and played watchfully. I have never seen him playing like this,He is now a very very matured captain and batsman. the comeback of pakisthanis after the quick fall of 4 wickets was amazing. Afridis sixes against murali was awesome. Akmal brother showed their inexperiance and gave threw out their wickets in the form of runout. Afridi always told akmal to not run for unnecessary runs but the tempted akmals threw out their wickets. why dont afridi call for runners? he was having some bad cramps and he played with that. if he was fuly fit the result of the match would have been reverse. and abdul razak should have speeded up the runrate when afridi was struggling. in the end afridi was totally unfit and struggling to find runs, in that situation experianced AbdulRazak should have taken the responsibility to scpre runs. anyway the 5 wicket haul from mallinga gave srilankans the important win in the opening match of asia cup.
