Something worse than losing the toss..
Would be if Pakistan wins the toss.. And hafeez decides to bat first.. again. :ehsan

Dew factor will play its part. Winning toss will be important for either team.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan MUST chase. Insha'Allah we win.

 

[Down2Earth]

they need to select 3 fast bowlers at least. the dew will make the ball talk

Yeh Muhamad Irfan banda hai ya khamba hai .

 

[rhussain33]

The batsmen Kind of pick them selves, but I wonder which Bowlers Pak will play...

I would like to have Junaid & Ifran in there but theres no doubt Gul and Kukri will be in the starting XI...

 

[Lara400]

A series win is a consolation victory after the recent whippings for India, it should brush a bit under the carpet. As for Pak not expecting a win in any games tbh. A victory here and there will be nice.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Hafeez is a joke as a captain, i wish afridi or younis was the captain, i dnt rate him as a gud captain, lets hope pakistan can record its 1st win against indian lotas.

star cricket, analysis by waz and co so you're not missing much

 

[IgnitedMind]

^^ star cricket

 

[shahidafridi123]

So 160 is a par score?

 

[Down2Earth]

i think pakistan can even defend 150 here with the spinners, it's a big ground so not many top edges will go for 6

 

[Bullet Drive]

Whens toss?

Anywhere i can watch star cricket.

 

[Waseem]

Let's park politics and time pass section on side(only because Imran Khan is also taking break attending today's game) , it's time to watch some cricket

I think Pakistan team is more hungry to win today, Indians are mourning loss against England and Tendulkar's ODI retirement
