00:00Welcome to everyone to the ICC World
00:03You've got the coin, give it a flick
00:06Heads, it's the call
00:10First ball
00:14Oh, this is a great start by Amir, he's fired up alright
00:20He scooped it, he scooped it to short fine leg and it catches Tekan
00:25What a wonderful plan
00:28Shehzad takes the catch, look at this
00:31Dilshaot, not for one
00:36This could be wicket number two
00:38Mubarak goes for Biggie and it is wicket number two
00:42Pakistan on fire, Razak
00:46And he goes for no
00:49Jasseria exploits it though
00:52Don't think he intended to get it in that very region
00:55Eight for two
00:58Goal
01:00Goes short again
01:02And a punch to mid wicket
01:04This is a very quick outfield, in fact it gets there
01:06I didn't think it was perfectly timed
01:08By Sangekara
01:09And there's scratches
01:14This is beautifully played shot, down the hill, go for the boundary
01:19That's where Amir has to be very careful
01:21After short delivery, you have to pitch within the stumps
01:25On that occasion, Sangekara is very, very strong
01:31Good pick up from Sanath
01:33Very good pick up, look he started
01:36In an altogether contrasting fashion
01:39As opposed to what he did
01:43He gets this one to the left of that man at long leg
01:46He won't get there
01:49Razak has to be very careful
01:51He's got his revenge, Razak, he was down
01:55But it's Jasseria who is out
01:58As Surya, who had to depart
02:03Gone straight to first slip
02:06Mizbaul Hub takes the catch
02:08But real trouble now for Sri Lanka, we've just mentioned
02:12Nursery end
02:14Just a dream run for the bowler Razak, Chamara Silva
02:18Is a talented player, but
02:19Is a talented player, busy player
02:25Was that deliberate?
02:27Almost deliberate
02:29It's four priceless runs at this stage for Sri Lanka
02:33But we'll give it
02:38Sweep shot in the air for a while
02:41Oops
02:43Misjudged it
02:44If there was that field of get
02:46That's a good shot from Sangekara
02:49All the field are cutted off, no, a much needed boundary
02:53Sangekara
02:56Pulled away, straight to mid wicket, yes, gone, it's Gul again
03:02Very, very
03:02Five more than that
03:04Bowled in, down the slope, drifting in
03:08Star performer for the big game, Shahid Afridi
03:12Never really got going
03:16He's cleared mid wicket
03:20That's a boundary, so that's handy
03:24Bollard to
03:26There's the bouncer again
03:28And it's expensive
03:29That's a good over for Sri Lanka
03:31The 100 comes up
03:37Well, that's a great shot
03:38Beautifully timed, so that's done the trick
03:41Matthews just moved back a little bit, just
03:47Matthews skies it
03:49Mid-off coming in, cover going back
03:51And it lands between them
03:57And here it goes
04:01Danger area
04:03Ian Chappell
04:05Or Ian Chappell even
04:12Oh, and he's played it good
04:15This young man, he's doing a terrific job for Sri Lanka
04:18He's cleared the rope
04:20Now then, we've talked about 120, we've talked about
04:25And the skipper, just having a word to the 17 year old
04:32And he'll be cut off, so they won't quite get the 140
04:36But that's a pretty competitive score from Sri Lanka
04:39And a marvellous fight back
04:41Headed by their skipper
04:43Sangakkara playing the one that wins them the cup
04:49Three wickets in that first over against the West Indies that broke their back
04:56Oh, beautiful timing
04:58Out of the coaching manual
05:01There for Kamran
05:05It's high
05:06Shahid Afridi took a good one
05:08Shahid Afridi took a good one earlier in the tournament
05:14Nice lofted shot
05:16From Kamran Akmal
05:18Is it a pitching wedge?
05:19No
05:21He does have enough on it to get before 20
05:26Not for that shot
05:28Had someone in the crowd
05:35He's backed himself to play that shot
05:38He would have been kicking himself if it had gone to the fielder
05:41But he backed himself to clear it
05:45Well, he's got the wicket
05:47So obviously Sangakkara's plan working
05:51Realising that Jair Suria is harder to slog sweep because of that low arm he skids on
05:56So he went down the pitch and it just drifted in from that low arm angle
06:00Great work from Sangakkara
06:02The veteran
06:08Go back in for a couple
06:10Or did it go all the way? It went all the way
06:13Got to play the bad luck
06:20Well, he's gone for it again and beats the man at cover
06:23Deep
06:28Straight to shot fine leg
06:30And easily taken
06:32Well, that's it for Sangakkara to have so many wicket takers
06:36It's a slow one and he's just scooped it to mid-on
06:41Mid-on is right back on the rope
06:43So an easy two
06:46You'd say normally that no third man is a bit of a danger for
06:49In terms of boundaries the Sri Lankans have done pretty well
06:55Afridi
06:56He's got a hold of one
06:57He's smashed one through the covers
07:01I think he's on a tear here
07:02I think he's got ideas of finishing this off quickly
07:26Well, he's done well
07:27Oh, come on!
07:35So, brings up the 100, therefore Palkins acquired from 39.
07:39Come on!
07:41Into the offside, it's just a single, not a bad over for Sri Lanka.
07:44It's 113 for 2, 3 overs.
07:50Oh, boom, boom.
07:52Boom, boom.
07:53Boom, boom.
07:57Down the Finchley Road somewhere.
07:59Huge shot.
08:01Picked up a slow delivery early on.
08:04And went, went.
08:07Oh, full toss.
08:08It might be a no ball, but it's four.
08:11Steered away to fine leg.
08:1450.
08:1550 for Afridi.
08:17He's moved on to 52.
08:18It's a no ball, over waist height.
08:21Shahid Afridi.
08:24Slow delivery.
08:26Worked away down the leg side.
08:27This runs away quickly for four.
08:30And he's got a tickle on it.
08:31Inside edge.
08:32We're nearly there.
08:34Pakistan need two runs from ten deliveries.
08:39Two runs.
08:44Get through for a single.
08:45Scores a level.
08:47Pakistan will have some great support here at the ground.
08:51I'll look into the outer and see.
08:55From the big one.
08:59Afridi fittingly hits the winning run.
09:02Shahid Afridi.
09:03Big man, big game.
09:05It's a leg by.
09:06Who cares?
09:07139 for 2.
09:09And Pakistan invade the pitch.
09:12Handshakes all round.
09:13It's been a wonderful tournament.
09:16A fantastic tournament.
09:18And it's Pakistan.
09:20And yes, you might say fittingly.
09:22Win this 2020 World Cup.
09:26They've overhauled Sri Lanka.
09:28And two super teams have been in the final.
09:30It's Pakistan Wazim.
09:32What a great comeback by Pakistan's side.
09:34They're all saying thanks.
