00:35Watch as Pakistan cruised to a nine-wicket victory with 202 balls remaining, showcasing
00:41Shahid Khan Afridi's incredible talents and match-winning ability.
00:45Don't miss this thrilling cricketing moment.
00:47Let's watch the video.
01:28One, two, three, four.
01:38And right here, Shahid Afridi struck three straight throws to call it.
01:42Can I take this one?
01:44All right.
01:47And the ball is thrown to the other side.
01:49Now, Shahid Afridi was launching it.
01:52It was looking like a big elevation.
01:55I'm looking for a six, but there's none here.
01:59Where is he?
02:00I don't see that guy.
02:01I'm not able to find him in the box.
02:04So, two throws.
02:05It's right there.
02:06That's three hundred.
02:11The ball can't be pushed off.
02:17So, I can do the three of them.
02:19Let's see how Afridi hits it.
02:25Oh, man.
02:29The ball is hitting John and Shahid Afridi.
02:32That's the first time you've seen that.
02:34It was a very difficult shot, basically.
02:38I don't know if I can throw it.
02:44And right here, right again.
02:46Look at that.
02:47That's one.
02:48Thank you, guys.
02:49Thanks.
02:50Now, I should throw my mitt.
02:53Well, you can think, well, at least there's a minimum of three.
02:58I'm still standing it back.
03:00Look at that elevation, too.
03:02I can't wait to pick that up.
03:05It was a one-up, I think.
03:07And I'm astonished.
03:1021-0, the clock.
03:15And this is a guy who's throwing straight down the green line.
03:18And it's a half-head up, too.
03:23I don't know if I can do this, can I?
03:25I think I'm going to be blinded.
03:27I'm going to make a two-time winner.
03:32I don't know.
03:33I'm going to show them.
03:34I'm absolutely going to show them.
03:36Now, you guys, there's two to one.
03:43These three are going to be the next shot of the last one.
03:46And I guess we're going to do the big things over here.
03:53We've got to put this mitt up there somewhere.
03:57We've got to make sure it's over here.
04:00Because what we're doing is inhibiting that ball.
04:04The second one, by the way, is spinning more.
04:07And it's making a little problem to tie it down.
04:126-6, a 4-6.
04:23Wow, God, man, we could win the first chance.
04:27And how about the second shot?
04:296-6, 6-6, a 3-4.
04:34A 4-4.
04:38And welcome to Portland, South Africa, you've got two to one.
04:42And you can go a little bit with the hip.
04:47And that's what I tell you, I did.
04:49That's what it is.
04:50We're still looking at two to one.
04:52We've got to get a little bit with it.
04:55We've got to be able to do this thing as much as we want.
05:09Here we go.
05:12Well, that's still a nice shot.
05:13And a 4.
05:14Nope, nope, it's still a 4-4 to one.
05:17Now, you still don't really want to put this on.
05:20And I'll tell you why.
05:21Why don't you put this between 15 and 4?
05:25It's just less than 4.
05:29Now, very funny.
05:31I'm going that way.
05:35My goodness.
05:36But we're...
05:39We're very lucky.
05:40We're very lucky.
05:41We've got tremendous entertainment for the camera.
05:44We didn't want the OTC just to get the motion for the game.
05:48Shouldn't have allowed the crowd to keep the game for a few minutes.
05:53But we've got the one-handed.
05:55We've got the one-handed.
05:57And it will be satisfied with two.
05:59Of course, in baseball, everyone that goes into the crowd can't be kept out of the crowd.
06:05You're not going to get many more than let's say 10, 16 in a match.
06:10But they're very confident.
06:11They're very confident.
06:12And if it goes 100, they get that.
06:16But they're not going to do it.
06:18They're going to get it.
06:21But there we go.
06:23Let's go.
06:26We're on the other side now.
06:29He's got a better answer.
06:32Now, where is he?
06:33Can't really tell.
06:34But they're talking to him.
06:36Down he goes.
06:37Down he goes.
06:38He throws his head for another six.
06:41So that's it.
06:43Time.
06:44You're free.
06:46Goes to 55 and out.
06:49From just 18 years of age.
06:51With his fist tip.
06:53He's holding up 12 points.
06:55And he's rounded off his match.
06:58With a wonderful answer to have him under the knees.
