Live Cricket Score - Pakistan vs World XI, 2nd T20I, Lahore

That's it from us folks! What a thrilling game we had and hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time then!

Here's what the players had to say:

Faf du Plessis: We needed it to keep the cup alive. I thought we bowled much better and kept them to a lower score. You always need someone to ensure that we do not collapse; quite the one we did not have yesterday. That's what Amla did, he was steady and took us through. Last night we were disappointed that we did not do well but am glad that we came back strong. I expect the third match to be in similar conditions and hope to continue the form.

Sarfraz Ahmed: We have to give credit to the World XI. Hashim bhai played beautifully. This is a learning opportunity for all of us, it will teach the bowlers how to bowl in tough situations to class players like Hash. We were a bit sloppy in the field and that cost us. Had the execution been better, we could have won this match. You should also have a slower length ball in your kitty apart from the yorkers.

Thisara Perera, Man of the Match: First of all it is an honour to be selected for the World XI side, it was my dream. Hash told me to stay till the end so that we could cash in. Normally I play similarly in situations for my country as well and this has become a habit now (finishing off games). Thanks to the Pakistani fans, they really cheered well for us.

It was delicious for the crowds that have poured in. To imagine that a few of them even left the stands when the spinners had a stranglehold on the proceedings of an obvious Pakistani victory should tell the story. The collapse towards the end in the first innings that meant a cool few runs short too would come back to haunt them. Malik's dropped catch would hurt. Some sloppy fielding would hurt. An over short for Nawaz could hurt. Either all that or Thisara Perera. Wait on, a sermon coming up.

PERERA THE STAR: After picking up 2 for 23 from his three overs, he's smashed 47 off 19 to seal a thrilling win.

ALL TOO EASY: Perera, 37 off 15, has brought the equation down to 13 off the last over.

40 off 16 now.

DU PLESSIS FALLS: The captain was looking to take the over aggressive approach and lobs a simple catch to extra cover. World XI 106 for 3 and need 69 off 36 now.

50 for AMLA: He gets there off 37 balls and is keeping World XI on track. The equation is much more manageable now. 77 needed off 40 now.
