Here is an opportunity for Men in Green to go up in the ODI series if not hurling whitewash over the Islanders. After all Gaddafi Stadium is Pakistan’s hunting ground. Prove it to me Men !

Gaddafi Stadium
Day & Night encounter
Heavy dew factor will be the mainplay + winning the toss otherwise, the weather seems to be fine so far.
Ps; Last home series against the islanders was played in Sharjah I tink.
I don't expect any major changes in the team from the one that played the second ODI other than Mohammad Yousuf returning to consolidate the middle order
For Gaddafi track, I hope to see Abdul Rehman iso Kaneria to bring some new
spin n twist to the table. Remember Pakistan will go full throttle for all they got b4 the WC including experimenting with new spin face if they have to.
My advice to Kaneria would be to reduce his pace a bit by 10% in the range of 50 - 55 to make the batsmen impatient and come to the ball rather than to use bowler's pace for his own misery.
The Gaddafi stadium is well known for its flat batting tracks and high scoring ODI games. If the Windies can put up a good total (in excess of 250), then it will be an intriguing test of Pakistan's batsmen.
Naved to Lara, out Lbw!! Full delivery on the off, dips in to the batsman, Lara shuffles across and looks to defend, rapped on the pads and that was plumb in front, what a big strike that is for Naved first up!!! B Lara lbw b N Hasan 0(1) 4s-0 6s-0
