Back To Being Unpredictable

Just when i thought Pakistan had barely any chance of winning the Twenty20 World Cup they end up beating one of the best teams in the tournament; New Zealand. New Zealand only lost one match and that was to South Africa (The only team in the tournament that is undefeated) and by only one run. Pakistan returns to it's normal stage of being unpredictable. We can pull off the greatest upsets and yet lose to the crappiest teams [We got knocked out the world cup by Ireland back in 2007]. Anyway the stats for Pakistan in the game were awesome. Umar Gul took 5 wickets [yes 5!] which is the first in Twenty2o and also only gave away 6 runs in the 3 overs he bowled [which is damn good!]. Rebel Adbul Razzaq makes a great debut back in the international stage [after leaving ICL] by taking NZ's most important wickets and bowling a maiden [rare in Twenty20]. Newcomer Shahzaib Hasan made 35 runs in 28 balls with 4 fours and 2 sixes [great for a new guy]. And last but not least, Shahid Afridi suprises the world with his batting by scoring 29 runs in only 18 balls and he remained not out, he also did very good in bowling by taking 1 wicket and only gave 17 runs in 4 overs. If Pakistan continues to give power-packed performances like this, than we just might win the damn tournament!
