The second Twenty20 match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe was a real thriller at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore as Pakistan had in the last over a large target to chase.

But the bowler Bilawal Bhatti was there to save Pakistan from a possible defeat as he hit a six, a double and a four in the first three balls of the last over to bring Pakistan to victory in a hairline finish.

Pakistan won the match with two balls still remaining.

Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat and scored 175 for 3 (Williams 58*, Sibanda 49). Chasing the target Pakistan made 176 for 8 (Mukhtar 62, Akmal 30, Mpofu 2-25) to win the match and the series.

Pakistan's Mukhtar Ahmed, who scored a fiery innings of 62 runs, was declared the "man of the match" award.

The Dutch hammer three more nails in Brazilian coffin

The Dutch did it tonight – hammering three more nails in the Brazilian coffin in the match for the third position of the World Cup 2014.

The Dutch goals spree started with the Persie’s conversion of a penalty right in the third minute, followed by another goal by Blind in the 16th. And then the battle continued for a goal from the hosts side but all half-attempted efforts went in vain.

And as if two goals were not enough to humiliate the Brazilians as Wijnaldum scored the third goal seconds before the final whistle to beat the hosts of World Cup 2014 with 3-0. And throughout the match, Brazil’s squad was booed by home fans in Brasilia.
