COLOMBO – Pakistan's players take part in a group knot after they won their ICC Cricket World Cup Group 'A' match against Sri Lanka. Afridi’s men in green clinched a thriller by 11 runs against one of the top favourites of the tournament, Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka managed to get too close courtesy to sloppy fielding by Pakistani players. Shahid Afridi was named as man of the match for his outstanding bowling effort by picking up four wickets for just 34 runs. Younis Khan (83) and Misbah-ul-Haq (72) helped Pakistan to get the total of 277 with their half centuries. Both of the veteran cricketers have the successive half centuries after their first match against Kenya.
