Afridi seals narrow win for Pakistan

Shahid Afridi held his nerve as Pakistan fought back from the brink of defeat to claim a dramatic four-wicket win to level the five-game series at 1-1.

India, who set a target of 322, were seemingly charging to victory when they removed Younus Khan for 117 and left Pakistan foundering on 283 for six with less than four overs remaining.

But Afridi, partnered by Sohail Tanvir (14 not out), smashed 29 from just 14 balls to steal the win with just one delivery remaining.
