Summary Misbah managed to score 34 runs against Australia.
ADELAIDE (AFP) - Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq on Friday became the second player at the World Cup to be granted a reprieve when his stumps were hit without dislodging the bails.
Misbah was on nought, and his team in deep trouble at 24 for two in their quarter-final against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, when Josh Hazlewood beat the 40-year-old for pace and clattered his leg stump, firing up the LED lights on the stumps.
However, the bails remained in place and Misbah survived.
In the 23rd over, Misbah couldn t resist looking for another 6 off Maxwell but was caught by Finsh at deep midwicket. Misbah could score 34 runs only.
Last month, it was an echo of Ed Joyce s lucky break in Ireland s match against the United Arab Emirates in Brisbane.
UAE seamer Amjad Javed thought he d struck with his fourth ball when an inswinger beat left-hander Joyce s defence and caused the LED lights on the bails to flash.
