PAK 3 ODI

Rahul Dravid got lucky with coin as he won the toss and elected to field first on good pitch which provided some early movement for seamers.

Salman Butt was once again out to Pathan in second time in the row as he drew the first bool in this match.Afridi who was pushed up the order did not last too long as he was caught brilliantly by Kaif after missing an one from him.

India fielding was pathetic as they missed three catches in the early hour and each time the bowler who was affected the most was Sreesanth and even Indian Captain who is always a good slip fielder droped a catch to his utter dismay.

Kamran who came at no:3 provided some quick fire with a well made 34.Yousuf was once again guilty of not concentrating hard enough as he once again got out to a very poor shot.Inzamam who looked in very good nick was brilliantly caught by Dhoni of Sachin Tendulakar’s bowling.

Younis Khan also did not last long and it was left to Malik and Razzaq to repair the damage done byIndians to Pakistani total as they resurrected Pakistan with a 100 run partnership between them.Finally Malik got to his hundred on this match after missing out on two occasions.

Razzaq provided the much needed impetus to Pakistan innings in the end as more than 99 runs came of the last 10 overs with Razzaq finishing on 64 notout just from 46 balls which included four huge sixes.

As Pakistan reached a good total of 286 in 50 overs.
