Shahid Afridi was instrumental in Pakistan's 2009 World T20 victory, winning the Man of the Match award in the semi-final as well as the final. A spectacular all-round show pushed Pakistan past South Africa in the semi-final.

Afridi hit a calculated 46 ball half-century and then went on to remove Herschelle Gibbs and AB de Villiers in an incredible spell of spin bowling. Buoyed by the performance, he sent down another tight spell against the Lankans in the final taking 1/20 in four overs.

He then proceeded to walk in at no.3 and smashed 54 off 40 balls, once again picking and choosing the right bowlers to go after. He was the Man of the Match in the final as well and led Pakistan to their first ICC trophy since 1992.
