Pakistan once again proved the potential of their team. Pakistan crushed Lanka in T20 and won their first major title in 17 years. The team performed brilliantly, and bowled the lankans by eight wickets in the final match. Lankans also tried their best, but wasn't lucky enough to won the trophy of T20. Pakistan player Abdul Razzaq was outstanding, and claimed three wickets. Shahid Afridi hit an unbeaten 54 off 40 balls, his second consecutive half-century, and former captain Shoaib Malik made 24 not out during a match-winning partnership of 76 for the undefeated third wicket. On the other hand, Sanath Jayasuriya broke through with his first delivery in the next over when he beat Akmal in the air with his left-arm spin and had him stumped for 37 off 28 balls. Jayasuriya then took a catch to get rid of Shahzaib off Muttiah Muralitharan for 19, but Afridi and Malik took Pakistan home amid loud celebrations from their fans in the stands. Pakistan started off very well, when teenage fast bowler Mohammad Aamir sent back the in-form Tillekaratne Dilshan with the fifth ball of the match.
