After a great performance by the young squad in the sharjah cup, pakistan is taking on kenya… and Pakistan looks like the hot favorites for this game…
hope they play well:jhanda:…
Inshallah.. 
I think Rashid will sit out of this match and let Misbah play and Taufeeq don the gloves :)
the Pakistani young'uns are putting up such an exciting game and delight to watch that it's not matter of win and loose but watching them play.
Anways, the current form of team show they'll own Kenya.
Pak is fav, but Kenya will fight. But I think Pak will win inshallah, if they play like they are playing now.
I think Pakistan shouldn't experiment too much and Rashid shuld play this match because Kenya is a team which can easily pull of a surprise. They will fight. So its important for the players to not underestimate Kenya and win this game comfortably and keep their moral high.
It should be an easy, comfortable victory for Pakistan.
not really kuz kenya also gonna fight back to get in position

After watching Pakistan beat Zim and SL, I have no doubt that they can do equally well against Kenya, a non-Test playing nation.
They maybe semi finalists in the WC but that doesn't mean they're a threat.. look at how Aus and India thrashed them.
Isn't Mohammad Zahid on this team? They haven't played him much.
But i like this team. They have played really hard. Such a young team having good success. Mohammad Hafeez looks solid. But i want to see him be more aggressive. Faisal Iqbal is gonna be a really good player.
I hope they drop Navid Latif.
As far as the bowling is concerned i think we need some more fire power their. Umer Gul and Mohammad Sami should be in every team from now on. Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez can help too.
Younis Khan has had a huge hand in winning the first 2 match's. I think he is your next captain. Him or Razzaq.
I think Muhammed Zahid will play for Muhammed Sami or Umar Gul… Misbah-ul-Haq will play for Faisal Iqbal or Rashid Latif will have a sit and The glove business will go to Taufeeq Umar.. kenya just qualified for the semi’s bcuz of their luck when newzealand didnt play with them…now they will know how hard it is to win a match!..
GO PAKISTAN:jhanda:…
Kenya did beat SL and Zimbabwe. So it is not true to say that they qualified just because NZ didnt play them. A minnow acheived a great deal and lets give credit where it is due. How do we know that they wouldnt have defeated NZ as well.
Kenya is a good team but its going to take alot from them to beat Pakistan.
As for the squad, they should definitley experiment, thats what this tournament is all about. Thats what Javed Miandad told Ramiz Raja after the first match, "winning is one thing, we are here to see which player is where"
So they will be playing all 15 players in this tourney.
Mizbah and Zahid haven't played at all and both deserve some chances,
I think maybe Youhana or Younis Khan, one of them needs to sit out, maybe Youhana to make way for Mizbah, and maybe Gul needs to sit out for Zahid
I think we should have 2 more changes.
Kaneria should come in for Shoaib Malik and Naved Latif for Taufeeq Umar.
Naved Latif
Muhammad Hafeez
Faisal Iqbal
Younis Khan
Mizbah ul Haq
Abdul Razzaq
Rashid Latif
Naved ul Hasan
Muhammad Sami
Dinesh Kaneria
Muhammad Zahid.
I hope they don't underestimate them. Otherwise the win should be no problem.
Agreed:k:…
Pakistan's bowling looks good, especially spinners. our batting lineup needs to work harder.

I think rashid should sit out to give Youhana a chance at captaincy. There won't be a better opportunity for Youhana to get started.

on the contrary, I believe we are a spinner short. We need someone of Shane Warne/Murli's calibar. Not easy, but not impossible.
I think our bowling line is perfect:k: and batting is also good… I think for the future series… Imran Farhat should be added into the team…
Otherwise we have got a good all rounder Muhammed Hafeez who is good in fielding, superb in batting and also a good part time bowler:k:
