Champions Trophy: Sarfraz, bowlers seal semi-final spot for Pakistan
[caption id="attachment_47451" align="aligncenter" width="580"] Image: ICC[/caption] Internet Desk: After bowling out Sri Lanka out for just 236, Pakistan got a 74-run opening stand and was at one stage 92 for 1. They then collapsed to 162 for 7, before captain Sarfraz Ahmed and Mohammad Amir did something very unlike Pakistan of old: hold their nerve. Sarfraz remained unbeaten on 61 and Amir on 28 in a partnership of 75 to help their nation seal its semi-final spot in the ICC Champions Trophy with a thrilling three-wicket win at Cardiff Wales Stadium on Monday. It was helped along by some ordinary fielding by Sri Lanka, who hurt its own chances after dropping crucial catches. That Pakistan had to chase a modest total was down to its left-arm pacers Junaid Khan and Mohammad Amir. They picked up two wickets each between the 32nd and 35th overs as Sri Lanka lost 4 for 6 to slide downhill from 161 for 3. Junaid finished with 3 for 40 from his 10 overs, which included three maidens, with two of those being wicket maidens.
