Pakistan's batting in 4th odi
India once again won the toss and put Pakistan into bat to make use of the seaming conditions and moisture in the pitch due to the morning start for the fast bowlers.
Pakistani’s began on a sedate note after the loss of Akmal with only 9 runs on the board. Salman Butt and Shoiab Malik was very careful that they should not to lose too many wickets to give the advantage to the India, So they adopted a very cautious approach as only 26 runs came of the first 10 overs.
This very cautious approach turned the tide against them as they lost, Salman Butt to awonderful catch taken by Rahul Dravid in slips and then Malik also did not last too long as his dismissal was very wellexecuted by R.P Singh as he got out to a short pitched delivery and to a beautiful catch held by Irfan Pathan running from the square leg.
Younis Khan who came at the fall of Malik was trapped in front of the wicket by R.P.Singh the very next delivery and it was left to Yousuf and Inzamam to salvage the innings after at one stage the Pakistan were
reeling at 38/4.
Inzamam and Yousuf did the rescue act very well as Inzamam regained his touch in his home ground. Inzamam was in fine form as he executed some elegant drives both on and offside. Yousuf once again failed to make a big impression after doing the initial hardwork as he edged a Agarkar delivery to Dhoni who caught it on second attempt.
Imran Farhat who came in as supersub did not last long as he got out to a poor pull shot ,as R.P.Singh claimed his third wicket and then he bowled a superb delivery to get rid of Razzaq as he once again claimed four wickets in an one day international for second time.
At the other end Sachin bowled a good line and length and got the praise reward of Inzamam’s wicket who got across to a delivery which pitched up and straightened towards the stumps .
After the loss of Inzamam ,tail enders did their job better to get the Pakistan’s total beyond the 150 mark.Finally the Pakistan’s innings folded at 161.With Irfan Pathan once again claiming three wickets,R.P Singh claiming four wickets.
