In the second quarter-final in 2002, at Nairobi, after winning the toss Sri Lankan skipper Sanath Jayasuriya decided to bat first, as his side posted 194 in 45.4 overs when they were clueless against Wasim Akram’s swing bowling.

The left-arm fast bowler Akram and right-arm pacer Azhar Mahmood claimed three wickets each before off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq claimed two wickets in the middle overs and Abdul Razzaq picked a solitary wicket of Kumar Sangakkara.

In response, Pakistan openers gave a rousing start before Imran Nazir perished when Moin Khan led side saw the score of 90 in 17.1 on the giant screen.

The sublime century from left-handed batsman Saeed Anwar (105 off 134 balls), has helped the side to claim the match by nine wickets and 40 balls to spare.
