Shoaib Malik got his first boundary off the 21st delivery he faced when he glided one through fine leg. Fittingly, Afridi got the winning runs from a leg bye off Lasith Malinga.

Afridi, who finished unbeaten on 54 from 40 deliveries and also took one wicket, was named the man of the match. Dilshan failed in this match, but his tournament returns of 317 from seven matches at 52.83 with three half-centuries was named the man of the tournament.
