pakistan won match from south africa in t20 2009 semi final

The two teams have had fairly contrasting lead-ups to the semi-finals but past records matter little in a knockout game, as Pakistan opted to bat at a packed Trent Bridge. They fielded an unchanged team from the game against Ireland. Their opponents, who will be keen to maintain their unbeaten record in the tournament, brought back Jacques Kallis, who had been rested for the dead rubber against India. Morne Morkel, his replacement for that match, was back on the bench.

Teams:

Pakistan: 1 Shahzaib Hasan, 2 Kamran Akmal (wk), 3 Abdul Razzaq, 4 Shoaib Malik, 5 Younis Khan (capt), 6 Misbah-ul-Haq, 7 Shahid Afridi, 8 Fawad Alam, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Saeed Ajmal, 11 Mohammad Aamer

South Africa: 1 Graeme Smith (capt), 2 Jacques Kallis, 3 Herschelle Gibbs, 4 AB de Villiers, 5 JP Duminy, 6 Mark Boucher (wk), 7 Albie Morkel, 8 Roelof van der Merwe, 9 Wayne Parnell, 10 Johan Botha, 11 Dale Steyn
