First ball streak send it to the bounry,with a great sweep shot,

zimbabwe needs a partnership at the moment,Heath streak and taibue is at the creas,They have to put a good partnership one,one more wicket will kill zimbabwe,the run rate is good They should settle down before going for their shots.

Price hits the ball for six at the last remaining overs,Sami isnt looking good

Price took his score to 31 hitting a six and a four in the second last over of sami,he hit the ball with power over the top for six,that was a top shot by a tailender,you can count him as a all rounder now.

score card(zimbabwe) bowling card(pakistan)

to many run outs from my point of view for zimbabwe,and good bowling by pakistan,good fielding as well considering that there was 5 run outs,the pakistani fields man did well in stop those odd fours,while the zimbabwean top order collapsed constantly taking singels that wasnt there at all,This has been a good contest through out,pakistan has yet to bat,any perdicitions in who is going to win this match(members)remember zimbabwe has made 232 runs,pakistan has to chase that score,Last time zimbabwe made the same score which pakistan fell shot or 29 runs,This is a good contest between these two teams,you never know what might happen,all we can do is wait,

Two lovely shots by inzimam,

Pakisan lost 3 wickets early one,inzimam making sure that the run rate doesnt go dont alot,So he he took the attack up to the bowlers,He hits price for four cutting the ball over the fields,As you will find out he will be dismmised by the same man who has cut.

taibue just missed the edgeing ball by a distance.

Good try but missed it by a distance,It was an importent catch to take he tried his best though,it was kamran who edged they could have exposed the tailender if taibue could have taken the catch.
