Akmal helps Pakistan survive Tonge scare
West Indies' little-known paceman Gavin Tonge grabbed four wickets,
but failed to stop Pakistan from posting a five-wicket victory in the
Champions Trophy here on Wednesday.
Pakistan were reeling at 61-4 following Tonge's incisive opening
spell, but teenager Umar Akmal helped his side surpass a 134-run target
with a responsible 41 not out in the day-night match on a lively track.
Tonge finished with 4-25 off 10 overs in only his third one-dayer.
The under-strength West Indies were also well-served by wicket-keeper
Chadwick Walton, who took four catches. AFP |
