Shahid Afridi scored 49 runs of just 19 balls and answered his critics with the bat. Mohammad Hafeez and Ahmed Shahzad scored a half century each. Here are some of the best tweets n the match

Umpire: “It’s a free hit, Shahid.”

Afridi: “What’s the difference?”#PAKvBAN

Lala leaves a free hit ball. Because Lala does not take free runs. #Respect #WT20

Pakistan is a good team but Pakistan should keep one thing in mind , Bangladesh is playing at home ground.#PakvsBan #WT20

This #WT20 is Bangladesh’s best chance to show us how far they’ve truly progressed. If they keep improving, it’s good for all of cricket.

Loudest cheers for Afridi, even when the camera pans to him during the national anthem. No love missed. #WT20

— Nikhil (@CricCrazyNIKS) March 16, 2016

A Bangladeshi win here and both teams are out of the tournament. Can’t expect Bangladesh to defeat India & Australia at Bengaluru

Whoever composed Bengali national anthem was clearly looking at Sheikh Haseena’s picture while doing so.
