Pakistan made 277-7 against Sri Lanka in their World Cup Group A match at R. Premadasa stadium in Colombo on Saturday. Misbah-ul-Haq was the top scorer with 83 runs not out, followed by Younis Khan who hit 72 runs. Pakistan batsmen Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Akmal were left wondering
which of them was out on Saturday against Sri Lanka in the World Cup after a mix-up left them both comically stranded at the same end.
Kamran Akmal scampered to the striker's end for a quick single when Hafeez swept the ball behind the wicket facing off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan's in the 13th over.
Hafeez did not move an inch, even after Sri Lanka wicketkeeper and skipper Kumar Sangakkara's initial throw eluded Muralitharan.
Angelo Mathews successfully returned it to the bowler for the simplest of run outs.
For a couple of agonizing minutes -- for Pakistan -- the confused batsmen tried to figure out who faced his marching orders before Hafeez trudged disconsolately back to the pavilion after a brief consultation with the umpires.
The dismissal, to the huge delight and amusement of a partisan, packed Colombo crowd, left Pakistan on 76-2.
