New Zealand vs Pakistan
(Preview)​

The third game of this tournament is an important game for both New Zealand and Pakistan. New Zealand stand bottom of the table and a win today would make things interesting in the table. Pakistan however stand at the top of the table winning their first game of the tournament against Australia by a huge 174 runs clearly showing Pakistan's form. Ahead of the Third ODI, the New Zealand team held a Press Conference.

"We are confident we can win"​

The mood in the camp is good we are willing to win our following game against Pakistan. We are confident that we can win. In the past couple of years we have lost to Pakistan on numerous occasions and tomorrow would be a relevant time to finally beat Pakistan.

Pakistan's Training​

Pakistan Coach Geoff Lawson was found to be working very hard with the lads. Younus Khan and Captain Misbah-ul-Haq were seen practicing their slip catching. Misbah knew this was an important game and talked to the lads discussing tactics.

There is a lot of anticipation for tomorrow's game. Both teams are prepared and ready for the match to begin. However, there will be a major battle in tomorrows match.

New Zealand Captain and experienced bowler Daniel Vettori will be the key for the Kiwis to win. However, Pakistan will be relying on their Number 3 batsmen Younus Khan for some runs.

Here are the probable line-ups for the Third ODI:
New Zealand: J.How, +B.McCullum ,R.Taylor, S.Styris, D.Flynn, P.Fulton, J.Oram, *D.Vettori, K.Mills, T.Southee, C.Martin
Pakistan: Imran, Malik, Younus, *Misbah, Fawad, Afridi, Razzaq, +Sarfraz, Sohail, Shoaib, Gul

That is all from Sharjah. The match is expected to start at 11:00am GMT, till then it's goodbye from us

[Pakistani Army]

By the way, where is Ryder?

He has been dropped.

Another excellent update.

After their crushing first win you would expect the Stani's to win although the Black Caps are a very strong one day outfit.

 

[Highlander999]

Awesome. That just about sums it up. Welcome to Planetcricket, the new Surendar and gamerkid rolled into one (with a bit of me in there as well )

 

[gutterman]

[Jaztheman]

Come on Pakistan! Both teams are strong but I'm sure Pakistan will get the win.

Great update as usual Arslaan.
