Do you think that it would be the first defeat in pre-season match? Right, it is difficult to say but we can not be sure because Man Utd. is in form but have less strength than previous time. Although the players and boss do not think so, they can depend on some new transferred players like Owen, experienced Ryan Giggs, Berbatov and Rooney too.

We can not think that the win over Bayern will be very easy, instead should remind that it already has beat Milan. Bayern Munich also has some young talented players who have rose the team in the strong position every they are performing well in the preparation campaign round.

Pakistan vs Australia 1st ODI 2009: Live Score, Preview and Analysis

For Pakistan cricket team Sharjah and Abu Dhabi is always favorable and has very good records in UAE. They have played 116 odis in UAE and secured wins 80 times and just lost in 30 matches when their home wining records are not satisfactory. It secured 108 wins out of 176. Comparing of both host home and abroad (UAE), and away is best for them.

 

According the local time the 1st ODI will be taken place at 14.30 and the match will be new and neutral venue of UAE. Pitch conditions and the weather will be very supportive for the spin bowlers. It is still doubtful that Shoaib Akhtar will appear in the match.

 

Match Type: One-day International

Pakistan v Australia 1st ODI 2009 season

Kick off time: 22 April 2009 - day/night at 14.30

Venue: Played at Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium

 

 

In the last two home ODI series, Pakistan failed to make it to the final of the Asia Cup and then lost 2-1 to Sri Lanka earlier this year. In the UAE, Pakistan beat Sri Lanka 2-1 in 2007 and West Indies 3-0 late last year.

 

 

Just after a day, the one-day schedule of Pakistan-Australia series is going to hold in UAE in stead of Pakistan. Australia played last one-day internationals at Lahore Pakistan in 1998. After ten year Australia is going to visit Pakistan to play ODI series. Australia last tour of UAE was in 1993/94 to play Pepsi Austral-Asia Cup. Austral-Pakistan played a one-day series in 2002 season when Pakistan won 2-1 which was held in         Pakistan in Australia.

 

Pakistan played last one-day series at Sydney in Australia in 2005 when Pakistan beat to the host. Among the last 10 matches no match was hosted by Pakistan. 6 matches were arranged in Australia and two matches were held on Amstelveen, Netherlands Videocon Cup final and in the 3rd match. In Johannesburg they played ICC World Cup - 4th match, Pool A match and other was in Nairobi PSO Tri-Nation Tournament – final.

 

The statistics is support totally on the side of the Australia. They got 6 wins and Pakistan had to be satisfied with single victory. PSO Tri-Nation Tournament’s final came to conclusion with no result and Videocon Cup was abandoned.

 

At this moment Pakistan and Australia both are not in well form. Australia lost both one-day international series along side South Africa recently. In the gap of two series, they played matches with the neighboring county New Zealand. Pakistan is not also in good form they had some tour before the Sri Lanka tours.

 

Australia is visiting Pakistan at the same time most anticipated Indian Premier League IPL 2009 season 2 is taking place in the new host’s grounds. Pakistan player is not taking parts in the season 2 even Australian players. To fill this gap before ICC Twenty20 World Cup Championship 2009, it will be great practices sessions.


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.

 

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.

 

 

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 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.

 

By visiting those websie below you can enjoy the first One-day international match.

Watch cricket Live, Preview and Analysis Bangalore Royal Challengers v Chennai Super Kings

This is difficult to say who will win between Bangalore Royal Challengers and Chennai Super Kings because Chennai Super Kings is the  runner up and it is very good position despite losing in the first innings. Bangalore Royal Challengers is also geared up most and secured a massive wins in the first match against Rajasthan Royals.

 

It is clear that Bangalore Royal Challengers who was in the bottom of the standing board from the beginning but this year they are showing very good performances. Losing two wickets very earlier and draw in a strong position. Although they did not make a big score even not a challenging score, but they able to dismiss the strong oppositions just in 58 runs.

 

Although Chennai Super Kings lost in the first match, can make turn and could

 

Bangalore Royal Challengers v Chennai Super Kings Preview

 

Bangalore Royal Challengers got win in it first match against Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings has beat to Mumbai Indians. The second match of them shall be taken place on April 20, 2009 at Port Elizabeth. A single match will be kicked off at that day and the match will be according to local time 15:30 and IST 14:30. Port Elizabeth is going to celebrate the first match of the IPL 2009.

 

 

Bangalore Royal Challengers’ first match preview:

In the first match along with the champions Rajasthan Royals, Bangalore Royal Challengers won by 75 runs. Winning toss Bangalore Royal Challengers who chose bat first and score 133. It was not a fighting score to take challenge but the simple challenge was very difficult for the opposition to over come.

 

Losing two wickets earlier in the first over BRC felt in a big pressure the recent captain KP Pietersen and the former captain Rahul Dravid draw the match to away. KP Pietersen scored 32 runs from 30 balls and Rahul Dravid 66 from 48 balls. The outstanding performance brought him the Player of the Match awards. Rest of the batsmen could not reach into the double figures.

 

Despite batting low performances, bowlers dominated the oppositions with iron hands. JD Ryder was the highest run paid bowlers but picket two important wickets. Similarly Praveen Kumar pulled out 2 wickets just for 7 runs and is the second highest econ bowlers. Anil Kumble was the most successful bowers on side of Bangalore Royal Challengers and pulled out 5 wickets for 5 runs.

 

Chennai Super Kings first match preview:

By breaking MS Dhoni’s fans heart Chennai Super Kings has bow down their head to release Sahcin Tendulkar’s fans. Really it was incredible Mumbai Indian has really improved them. Sachin Tendulkar, who was not considered as a well fitted batsman for twenty20 tournaments but proved it false.

 

MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings’ men felt huge pressure losing early wickets. It had to misplaced Patel and Raina’s wicket just after 18 runs when oppositions 165 objective was so far to touch. Diminishing wicket in sequel make difficult to touch the landmark. MS Dhoni’s strong batting could not hold the wicket down fall and he also surrendered to L Malinga just adding 36 runs. My comment is that he has done his duty but others fail.

 

I can not praise Chennai Super Kings’ bowlers except MS Gony. A Flintoff could not response at the same voice of the CSK’s fans. Anyway, this is big warning for the runner-up.

 

Point Tables:

This is not appropriate time to discuss about the point table because every team just played single match only. Well, but, among the four teams who secured victories, Bangalore Royal Challengers is leading the top position and Chennai Super Kings is leading the top of the losing four teams.

 

IPL 2008 analysis:

At end of the double Robin Round League division matches Royal Challengers Bangalore was in the last position and just get wins in four matches but Chennai Super Kings got 16 points by wining in 8 matches. It also beat 5 matches in a row too. Last year RCB started its way to IPL as a looser and in the first match along with CSK it beat for 13 runs but got wins in the second match.

 

In the first match of IPL 2008, Royal Challengers Bangalore beat to CSK for 13 runs. Wining toss Chennai Super Kings, who chose to bat first and scored 178 runs. To achieve the target RCB had to close the inning in 165 runs. This is a big similarity that in IPL 2009 Royal Challengers Bangalore scored 165 runs that was same to last year. But dissimilar is that this year they got victory and lost in last year.
