SIXX!! Yusuf, you're a beauty! Yusuf has changed the entire complexion of the game! Length ball on the off-stump line. Yusuf picks it early and heaves it over the long-off as the ball sails into the stands for a six.
What a hit that is!!!!! Go out and fetch the ball from outside.
3 more to need in the last 2 deliveries. Yusuf Pathan with some serious hitting and changing the course of the game completely.

Mohammad Hafeez (Joburg Buffaloes Captain): "A special knock from a special player. He was searching for this knock and hopefully, he got the inning on this big stage. Each player wants to express himself going out in the field whether it is with the bat or with the ball. The journey has been great, we didn't get off to a good start but we have played a great game till now and I am really proud of the boys for the way they have played the cricket."
That's all from this thrilling encounter. Buffaloes go straightaway to the finals with this big win courtesy of the blistering knock by Yusuf Pathan.
