Pakistan vs Australia Twenty20: Big practices field before ICC World T20

Almost, the cricketer of all countries is getting practices by conjunctions with 20 overs match of Indian Premier League that is going on South Africa. But the Australian players except David Warner and the Pakistan players, who are being kept way from these tournaments, are looking forward with the only single Twenty20 tournament that will be taken place at Dubai Sport City Cricket Stadium. It is the last T20 formatted match before the World Twenty20 2009 that will be hosed by England after South Africa 2007.

"We're looking forward to the event in England and we'd definitely like to take the trophy home with us. We had a good tournament in 2007 in South Africa, reaching the final but losing to India. This time around we want to go all the way and win it," Younus said. 

Haddin, standing in as captain of the Australia side for tomorrow's T20I against Pakistan said: "I'm really looking forward to taking part in the summer's ICC World Twenty20 in England, the country where this format of the game was created.

 

MJ Clarke used to lead Australia team after Rickey Ponting because of security concern after Pakistan terrorist attack on Sri Lanka Cricket team in Lahore. The Team was won the ODI series under his captaincy but he will not lead the tem in T20 tournament. In the absent of MJ Clarke, Haddin will lead the team.

Pakistan vs Australia second Twenty20 match in Dubai on May 7, 2009

The Only T20I between Pakistan and Australia is going to take place on May 7, 2009 at Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium. It is the second Twenty20 formatted match. After Twenty20 World cup they did not meet each other. It was the group match of them. That time, Pakistan won by 6 wickets at Johannesburg on Sep 18, 2007.

 

I mentioned that this is the second Twenty20 match between the Twenty20 Championship runner-up and One-day international champions. The first match was very competitive and Pakistan could reach to the target just remaining 5 balls. But in the ICC World Twenty20, 2009 Pakistan have no match in the group round matches because both the teams are in different groups. If they could be qualified for the super eight round then it would be possible but there is also some conditions too.

 

In the first Twenty20 match, Pakistan won by 6 wickets. Pakistan and Australia bout fought well. SR Clark and Sohail Tanvir picked up 3 wickets each. Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq sacked half-centuries each on the sided of Pakistan but none from Australia.

 

In the next match, Australia side will come to ground without three star players, Captain Rickey Ponting, AC Gilchrist and ML Hayden and Pakistan side will loose Imran Nazir and Mohammad Hafeez. 

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 2^nd 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.
