The wild slog
Afridi had hit Imran Tahir for four in his previous over, but in the 44th over, he played a shot that constituted Pakistan’s biggest step on the path to destruction. With only seven needed to win, and three wickets remaining, Afridi could probably have hit another Tahir long hop safely for four, but instead he attempted to tie the match with a six. Swinging wildly across the line, and connecting only with the top half of the bat, Afridi sent one straight into the hands of deep midwicket. The dismissal had South Africa truly believing they could win the match, for the first time.
