All over! A very, very clinical win for Germany!
Germany beat Portugal by 46 runs.
Shahid Afridi 93 (36) | Abdul Basir (2/11) Miguel Machado 42 (12) | Rana Sarwar (1/23)
Germany had one foot across the door to the final after scoring 169 in the first innings. They got the other in after dismissing three wickets for Portugal in the powerplay of the second innings itself.
Gholiya's wicket on the very first ball set the tone for the match. He played a really bad shot and most of his batters seemed to follow him with that, playing poor shots and throwing their wickets away.
This was for everyone except Miguel, who picked his bowlers and played sensible shots, even as wickets fell thick and fast from the other end.
As the innings progressed, it looked even worse because almost every lower order batter came and hit their first balls for boundaries and then went on to play good cameos.
Portugal have a lot of lessons to take from this. Germany just need a repeat of such brutality again in the final.
8.3 Shahid Afridi to Junaid Khan, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! It's all over. Now Afridi is in the wicket's column too, what a day he's having. Germany storm into the finals with that win and have thumped Portugal and remain unbeaten as well. Back of a length on the stumps, Junaid swings and misses, rattles the stumps.

8.2 Shahid Afridi to Junaid Khan, full toss and Junaid gets followed as he backed away, looks to heave but gets the inside edge back on to the pad.
8.1 Shahid Afridi to Junaid Khan, FOUR! Bangs in the short delivery, Junaid backed away and hammered it to deep square-leg, races away and finds the ropes.

Another batter showing how deep Portugal bat. They gave up a bit too early with those horrible shots in the powerplay.

7.6 Adil Khan to Juan Henri, OUT! STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Cameo comes to an end from Henri. Short into the batter, Henri looks to pull but top edged it straight up and the keeper runs across to the off-side and pouches it safely.

7.5 Adil Khan to Juan Henri, SIX! BAM! Short into the batter, Henri stood tall and pummels it all the way over long-on fielder's head for a maximum.
7.4 Adil Khan to Juan Henri, back of a length, shapes away wide of off-stump. Henri has a loose waft at it and gets beaten.
