Pakistan defeated South africa by 7 run and enters Final of ICC T20 World cup. Sahid afridi smashed 51 from 34 balls and then grabbed 2-16 with his leg-spin as Pakistan successfully defended 149-4 to restrict the favoured Proteas to 142-5 before a sell-out crowd at Trent Bridge. Pakistan, runners-up to India in the inaugural World Twenty20 in South Africa two years ago, await the winners of Friday's semi-final between Sri Lanka and the West Indies in Sunday's final at Lord's.
Afridi plundered eight boundaries, including four in succession off Johan Botha, after Pakistan elected to bat on a wicket that slowed down as the evening progressed. Pakistan will fight with the semifinal-2 winner from WI or Srilanka.

Good for Pakistan cricket after terrible one year. This will help cricket in Pakistan and I hope they win the World Cup.
