Youhanna ran too far down the wicket when there was no run.
Pakistan 200/8 off 45 overs
Pakistan is going to end up around 40 runs short off a comfortable total.
200 isn't bad on this pitch, our bowlers will be able to defend the total.
sadly Wasim is missing so our bowling lineup will be a little weaker.
Both of them can bat quite a bit, 220 is still possible.
Pakistan 204/8 off 46 overs.
Both should go after the bowlers, there isn't much to risk, 4 overs left.
Superb 4 by Waqar
Pakistan 209/8 after 47 overs.

Finally, Shoaib will be agressive.
** Pakistan 213 all out 48.4 overs.
Shoaib C & B Pollock 0 **
40 runs short. Going to be tough for the bowlers.
Sad ending to a great start by the Pakistani batsman, the bottom never looked threaning, Afridi once again was dissappointing, running between the wickets was good but some bad judgements got 2 run outs.
213 is still a competitive score, if Pakistani bowlers bowl like the way they did in previous matches, Pak should easily win.

Rashid is injured anyway and so is Wasim but Kamran in scoring terms has more then compensated for what Rashid would have acheived.

yes ehsan bhai no doubt about it. But he would have been better off coming later in the order. We had to sacrifice a batsmen in Faisal Iqbal.
We were like 180/5 in 40 overs. In las few overs there was only one hitter waiting and that was Mr. Unpredictable Afridi. We missed Razzaq in the end, didnt we?
Khair score could be a competitive one, if pakistan bowl well. Specially upfront with Shoaib and Waqar.
They played reasonably till Iqbal's runout and Afridi's textbook pathan shot.
I don't mind Rashid's absence at all, but how often do you see a wicket-keeper getting unfit. It has been happening a lot in the past few weeks. Nanhi jaan par itna zulm naheen karo. Kick him out and let Kamran or Moin use this time to get familiar with south African grounds.
Easy target for South Africa. Our bowlers has to show the magic. Most of us will be expecting Shoaib bowling off South Africans.
I gotta go to bed. YAWN See you later.
Pakistan Zindabad!
