Pakistan in trouble yet again!
Pakistan were once again in trouble, because of some great bowling by the Zimbabwean bowlers. The captain was first to go after the openers. Shoaib Malik and Younis Khan played slow and stayed at the wicket for 4 overs but only managed to get 9 runs. Shoaib Malik was soon caught at Gully for 3 off 14 balls. He was the 3rd player in this inning to get out after playing 14 balls(1st 2 were the openers)
Mohammed Yousuf was the next man in. Yousuf also started off slow, taking a couple of singles and then smashed a huge six in an attempt to break the dead lock of slow flowing runs.
When Yousuf got the six, he brought some hope of quick flowing runs for Pakistan, but was hit on the head by a nasty bouncer by Mpofu. He was caught by Chibhabha on the very next ball in an attempt to go for a cover drive.
Misbah-ul-Haq was the next man in. The Pakistani fans were all down to their seats after the loss of Yousuf as they saw a huge collapse in the last match.
Pakistan scorecard:
Imran Nazir c Mufambisi b Mpofu 24(14)
Shahid Afridi LBW b Mpofu 32(14)
Shoaib Malik* c Duffin b Mpofu 3(14)
Younis Khan not out 10(29)
Mohammed Yousuf c Chibhabha b Mpofu 9(17)
Misbah-ul-Haq not out 3(2)
Now its time for some reps...
