Australia and Pakistan in UAE 2009 (One Day International)

03 May 2009       Pakistan vs Australia

5th One Day International, Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi (D/N)

Live action starts from: 11:00 GMT (16:30 IST)

 

The neutral venues result goes to Australian despite of huge supports on the side of Pakistan and passing over a painful moment. It will be difficult for Pakistan to remove the gap of defeat because their most successful all-rounder Shahid Afridi will be out from the 5^th match due to injury and offspinner Saeed Ajmal has been ruled out for action and Australian fast bowler Brett Lee may back to the 5^th ODI or must back in the only Twenty20 match.

 

There are some key players in Pakistan team who can change the result any moment but I mostly mention the name of Sohail Tanvir. In spite of bowlers, he always tries to hold the batting lineup during the rainy day of batting downfall of Pakistan. Former captain Shoaib Malik and opener Shahid Afridi is considered the most depending players too. In the previous matches Shoaib Malik leaded the batting side form the middle order.

 

The Champions are playing the series with very young players where most of the efferent players have been kept away due to security concern. No doubt that MJ Clarke is leading the very well and he personally showing a massive performance too. He was the hero of the last 8 wickets viceroy in the 4^th ODI and scored 100 not out. His outstanding performances could bring the honor him the man of the series.

Pakistan vs Australia 4th ODI 2009: bowling pitch and batting trouble preview

The result of 3^rd ODI between Pakistan and Australia went on the guest and are leading the five-match series. By wining the 2^nd match the Aus make the series ties and the third match pushed up them to take the series wins. The 4^th ODI will be held in the same ground and if Pakistan wants to win the series then they have to win in both matches. So, this is the must-win match to level the series. Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi is very important for the Pakistan. Pakistan is desperate to take the win over the world Champions. This is very prestigious series in UAE because they are getting most supports.

 

The result of the previous matches that was held at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi disappointed all the cricket fans of Pakistan because Australia won that toss and elected to bat first but they could not able to add more than 198 runs from 50 overs to make as strong challenge. Although it seems very short score, was difficult to overtake.

 

Losing early wickets, Australia fall in big trouble but all-rounder MJ Clarke’s passionate batting and with the assist of CJ Ferguson the guest could reach to 198. Umar Gul was the main arms to close the innings earlier. Pakistan started very well depending on Salman Butt and Ahmed Shehzad batting but Clarke and Hauritz’s aggressive bowing wiped out all the hopes from the Pakistan camp. No batsmen could reach in the double figure except Shoaib Malik who scored 30 runs.
