Abid Ali and Usman Shinwari also attracted applause with their mad cricketing skills.
Shahid Afridi via youtube "After such a long time we have seen a Pakistan fast-bowler get the man of the match award. To win this award on a Karachi batting wicket is an outstanding achievement by Shinwari" #PAKvSL

Abid Ali "I always play in a positive manner and I did the same when I played on my debut, and so the tag that I can't bat at a fast rate is not correct" #PAKvSL

Sri Lanka play Pakistan T20Is at Lahore Gaddafi Stadium, the venue where Sri Lanka won the famous World Cup in 1996. Pakistan support that day was extraordinary & it felt like home. Sunil Wettimuny said 'I have never seen a nation supporting another nation like that'. #Cricket
