The wining and lose statistics of both teams of the lat five ODI is similar. They each got two wins and three lose of most recent first. Cutting some big players in the list of fist eleven, Australia accelerate them in the second odi. So, this will inspire them to take a hand over Pakistan during the 3rd odi matches. SR Watson and Andrew Symonds are the key players of the Australia side. Captain MJ Clarke and JH Hopes can be added in this list too.

 

UAE ground favorite team Pakistan will get weather and ground supports than the gust. And always get extra benefit in Dubai. It got 18 series wins in this host out of 37. They are eager to take the ongoing series lead and want to get a big success before the ICC word Twenty20 Championship.

 

Similarly, Pakistan took on Australia more than 81 matches and got 28 wins. This is very supportive for them. And Australia secured 41 wins against Pakistan from 1975 to the last one-day internationals.

 

Andrew Symonds, who back to the form and scored 58 runs from 62 balls and Shahid Afridi who picked up 8 wickets from last two matches and in the first match he bowled his career best bowling.

 

The 3rd ODI will be taken place at 3pm (11.00GMT) on April 27, 2009 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The day will be worm and that is very positive for Pakistan but bad for Australian because they are not suitable for these kinds of weather. Here is the probable squads for the 3rd One-day of both teams.

Pakistan vs Australia 2nd ODI, Live score and preview from Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium

Pakistan already has won the first ODI that was kicked off on Wed 22, April the 2nd ODI is scheduled in the same ground of UAE at 14:30 local, 10:30 GMT. Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium is all set to celebrate the second one-day match between Pakistan and Australia. Pakistan is confident to take the series lead by wining the second odi too. The first victory is inspired them. They have proved again after a long time that, UAE is all-time supportable host for them.
Australia is in very bad position and no doubt about it. The wining records are not well satisfied for them. They just got one victory among the five last one-day international matches. Their last tour of South Africa was miserable and had to please with one wins only in test series victory. The five-match odi series result did not come to the favor of them but got two wins.
Pakistan has not so good wining profile in last five odis. They just got three wins including the last match along with Australia in Dubai. But, it is easy to say that Pakistan has come back to in to cricket after passing some shaking days. After attack on Sri Lankan Cricket team, Pakistan cricket became very uncertain. Even they have been removed the name from the host lists of ICC World Cup Cricket 2011 that would be hosted jointly India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. But, in a recent meeting ICC authorities have wiped out the name from the lists.
From the last one-day match it is easy to guess that the Pakistan bowlers performed well and that is why Australia batsmen could not through a big challenge to the opposite as well as they had to close the innings in 38.5 overs losing all wickets. Pakistan reached to the target just losing 6wickets from 44.1 overs.
This is very easy to guess that the pitch was bowling favor. Pakistan is Playing with full strong team but the guest appeared without the star players because of security concern.

Pakistan vs Australia 1st ODI 2009: Australia Squad including Andrew Symonds

Andrew Symonds was in injury long time. Most probably, he did not take parts in home series when South Africa visited them even the series against New Zealand. Just before the Pakistan series Australia visited South Africa for a long tour when they played Test, one-day international and Twenty20 series, Symonds was not with the other teammates. But, he will be appeared in the ongoing tour against Pakistan in UAE. Australia has announced the probable squad of 11 men for the 1st ODI that will be held in Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium.

 

Australia (probable) 1 Shaun Marsh, 2 Shane Watson, 3 Brad Haddin (wk), 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Andrew Symonds, 6 David Hussey, 7 Callum Ferguson, 8 Nathan Hauritz, 9 Stuart Clark, 10 Nathan Bracken, 11 Ben Laughlin.

 

I think everyone will be astonished to see the squad where Ricky Ponting’s name has been wiped up. The main cause is that Australia captain Ricky Ponting along with the batsman Mike Hussey and allrounder Mitchell Johnson will not appear in the ongoing one-day series and a single twenty20 match because of security concerns. May be Brett Lee is taking parts in the ongoing most anticipated Indian Premier League in South Africa.

Pakistan vs Australia 1st ODI 2009: Pakistan Squad for Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium

Pakistan has announced probable eleven men squad for the first One-day cricket that is going to take place on 22 April 2009 in UAE. Pakistan lost the last two ODI along side Sri Lanka. Two names are seems new in the 11 man squads. Saeed Ajmal is an oldest man but debuted to international cricket is not old. Rest of the names is well known to all but Shoaib Akhtar who was ruled out from the international cricket for misbehave with the teammate and breaking the rules.


1st ODI cricket - Pakistan v Australia on Wed April 22, 2009

14:30 local, 10:30 GMT

Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium 


Pakistan Squad (probable) 1 Salman Butt, 2 Nasir Jamshed, 3 Younis Khan, 4 Misbah-ul-Haq, 5 Shoaib Malik, 6 Shahid Afridi, 7 Kamran Akmal (wk), 8 Sohail Tanvir, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Shoaib Akhtar, 11 Saeed Ajmal.  


Nasir Jamshed is a young player in Pakistan side. He just played 9 ODIs and his strike rate is very high of 103.62. From the nine matches he cashed 343 runs and highest scored is 74. He debuted with international cricket alongside Zimbabwe 21 January 2008 and scored 61runs and the last match was along with Bangladesh on 4 July 2008 scored 52 runs and was not-out. I am confused why he was kept out long time from the international cricket. 

Pakistan vs Australia ODI 2009: Which TV Channels will Show the matches.

After a long time gap, Australia is going to play an ODI series along with Pakistan. Although Australia is visiting Pakistan but the cricket tournament will be hosted by United Arab Emirates (UAE). Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Cricket Australia (CA) become agree to take the series in UAE. Australia did not visit Pakistan more than 10 years for security concern.


Taj TV’s Ten Sport has the official right to broadcast the One-Day International match series live form Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi and Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium UAE.


Anyway, I am hopeful about Pakistan-Australia tour that they are getting help from other cricket playing counties and also congratulate PCB that they have agreed to organize the cricket match in UAE in stead of Pakistan.

South Africa bagged 3-2 series wins over Australia

In the last match of the series Australia beat the host South Africa in the last one-day international of the five-match series. Australia has to face second series defeat to South Africa. Really, this is big tremble for the world champions that they beat in the home and away one-day international series. Although Australia take the test series lead, they lost in Twenty20 and one-day international series.

 

Next week Australia will visit to Pakistan for five-match ODI and one Twenty20 match. This tour will not take place in any Pakistan home’s grounds. Pakistan will host the series in Dubai, UAE. Now, it is question that how will they perform in the upcoming tour.

 

The recent tour for Australia is not fruitful, may be they are disappointed to get this results. The visitor won first two Tests among the three and the 3rd result went on the host. Secondly the Twenty series went on South Africa by 2-0. At last the One-Day series result also goes on the host by 3-2.
