Afridi takes four as Pak bowl out W-Indies for 112

Mirpur: Skipper Shahid Afridi led from the front with four wickets as Pakistan bundled out West Indies for a paltry 112 in 43.3 overs in the first quarterfinal of cricket World Cup here today.
Afridi finished with impressive figures of four for 30 after Mohammad Hafeez’s two early wickets pushed West Indies on the backfoot at the start of the innings before folding up for their third lowest World Cup total.
Umar Gul and Saeed Ajmal, too, figured amongst the wickets at the Shere Bangla National Stadium here.
West Indies skipper Darren Sammy’s decision to bat first after winning the toss backfired badly as the two-time former champions were reduced to 16 for three by the sixth over, with the dangerous Chris Gayle back in the pavilion.
