i didn't see it, but hope pakistan wins. shoaib malik also struck a fine fifty and add to that 2 sixes by Misbah in the last over. the target set is tight, hoping Asif does the trick.
Congrats!! Great allround performance by Pak against SL. Shoaib/Younis 101 partnership, Afridi's 3 wickets and magnificent catches by Younis did it. Hope to see more of this by Pakistanis.
Live matches .. i am watching the last overs of this match.

That was a great comeback after the last match against India. After another top-order failure, Younis and Shoaib Malik really turned the tables around, giving Jayasuriya a taste of his own medicine.

Just a few interesting facts:

1. The match against India is considered as a tie, and not as an Indian victory in the record books. http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283307.html

2. Pakistan now has the highest Win Percentage in Twenty20 Internationals . Pakistan's Win Percentage is 78.57%. Next is Sri Lanka with 66 %.

3. Pakistan has now had 5 consecutive Twenty20 International matches without defeat (remember the match against India is considered as a tie), which is another record.

4. Afridi now has 11 wickets in Twenty20 Internationals, which is a world record.

5. Younis and Shoaib's partnership is the highest for the 4th wicket.

6. Jayasuriya's spell of 0/64 is the most expensive spell in a Twenty20 International, alongside Jimmy Anderson. However Jayasuriya's figures are worse since Anderson did pick up 1 wicket.

I know that since all nations have played only a handful of matches, it is very likely that these records can be broken even by tomorrow. However, it is nice to know that we hold them for now.
This was a very good performance by Pakistani team. I hope they can continue with it in future matches.

    G20 Kashmir Meeting: Modi's PR Ploy Backfires!

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi's campaign to show normalcy in the Indian occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir has backfired.  Three member countries of the G20 boycotted the tourism event in Srinagar. The rest of them sent local embassy staff to attend. The event also drew negative worldwide media coverage of the brutality of India's "settler colonialism" in the disputed territory. It elicited strong condemnation from the United Nations. Prior to the event, India’s tourism secretary, Arvind…

    India-Russia Trade: Is Indian Rupee Worthless For Cross-Border Transactions?

    What good is a currency in global trade if it can not be used to buy products and services from other nations that a country needs?  The answer to this question came when Russia said it has accumulated billions of rupees in Indian banks which it can not use. “This is a problem”,  Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters in India’s Western state of Goa on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting.  “We need to use this money. But for this, these rupees must…
