      48.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Mills, OUT: short ball and a pull actually a skier
            off the splice to Taufeeq at mid wicket and Shaoib has his 3rd
            wicket for 36 for Pakistan to meet New Zealand again in the final

           Pakistan pacers picked up six wickets today and even on this better
            pitch were able to defend 203, but Kaneria and Hafeez did well too
            for some vital early wickets after NZ were off to a good start
            even though they lost Fleming early
           The final will be New Zealand v Pakistan with 13 and 12 points
            respectively
           Rashid Latif should be happy with this show though it was quite a
            battle out there
           We shall soon have presentations
           A reminder folks, final is on the 23rd starting at 04:00GMT
           Just to keep everyone upto date, there was a buzz around the ground
            and amongst tv crews as the spotted some possible 'thumbnailing'
            of the ball attributed to Shoaib Akhtar, we are not aware if its
            been taken up officially
           Presentations on and luckily there were some fours struck today,
            all pocketed by Shoaib Malik, best batsman, most boundaries so he
            picks up a mo'bike and a cheque as well as the Man of the Match
           Thats all folks as we end up with Shoaib saying there was a plan
            and I was to stay there till the end and todays wicket was not
            turning so much, good night all
