Cricket: Pakistan shatters archrival India by 1 wicket
In a nail-bitingly tensed game, Afridi drove the team to victory in the last over.
DHAKA (AFP/Dunya News) – Pakistan defeated archrival and presumably ICC’s new sheriff India by one wicket in a thrilling one-day international in Dhaka on Sunday to virtually knock the reigning World Cup champions out of contention in the Asia Cup.
Pakistan, who restricted India to 245-8, survived anxious moments before Shahid Afridi smashed two consecutive sixes to help his team win with two balls to spare at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.
India, who have lost two of their three matches, are unlikely to make the March 8 final even if they beat Afghanistan in their last match.
