T20 World Cup 2021 Pakistan vs Scotland, Highlights: Pakistan go into semis unbeaten, face Australia; England meet New Zealand

Shaheen Afridi to George Munsey, Two dots in a row! Afridi serves it full, and straight on the stumps. Munsey digs it out watchfully.

Scotland started quite well with the ball. Not a lot of freebies were given at the start and they took a couple of early wickets. Whenever the Pakistani batters looked set to tee off, Scottish bowlers provided with a wicket to keep them in the game. But towards the end, they were put under the pump by the Pakistani finishers. It was a good show by them, but they would have wanted to finish better. Chris Greaves was the pick of the bowlers for his 2 wickets while Safyaan Sharif and Hamza Tahir took 1 each. But Chris Greaves took a big beating in the last over where Shoaib Malik went gun blazing. 

Mohammad Hafeez is down for a chat. He says that they wanted to get 175 on this pitch and Malik finished it nicely. Mentions that Sharjah is low and skiddy so he wanted to play his shots and play it straight. Tells that they do consider the conditions and adapt accordingly. Adds that they allow their batters to go out there and see how it's going and play accordingly. Ends by saying that he is really happy with the score.

We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. George Munsey and Kyle Coetzer take the crease. Shaheen Afridi will steam in. Here we go...

... The Run Chase ...

Right then. 190 is the target for Scotland and it will be a tough one. Will Pakistan defend it and continue their unbeaten streak in the competition? Or will the Scottish pull this off? Stay with us to find out.
