India v Pakistan - Pakistan tour of India - 3rd ODI – Match Preview
After winning the ODI series by 2-0, Pakistan will be facing India at Feroz Shah Kotla, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780, in the final match in a bid to whitewash the tournament.
Meanwhile, this match is not a dead rubber for India, as while they cannot claim the series now, they can however, seek redemption by winning today.
For MS Dhoni, a win will probably save his captaincy as many are calling for his head after a disastrous show against their arch rivals.
However, there are rumours that Dhoni might not be leading his side in the final, raising some serious questions regarding his future.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 will, probably, have to test some new players in this fixture, as this is the right time to see some young blood step-up.
Dhoni, after his side’s defeat had said, “I think the bowlers brought us back in the game, I think when we went in to bat, we lost too many wickets, last 30 overs we needed 180, the key is to have wickets in hand and we never were in a position. Virat has
scored runs for us, but one of the top three needs to be with the middle-order, that will make it easy, not that they aren't trying, it happens.”
Meanwhile, Pakistan might rest seamer Umar Gul or http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wahab-Riaz-c95839 a chance to make a comeback.
While http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Farhat-c64218 might see some action if the team management decides to give them a chance in this game.
After sharing the two-match T20 series with their hosts, Pakistan have made a strong comeback in the tour by leaving the hosts under tremendous stress. There is a mighty chance that some senior players, who have not performed in this series, would be axed
by the BCCI selectors in order to inject young blood in the national team for the forthcoming series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
Fans would be expecting a good show from both sides, as both teams would be aiming to end the series on a winning note.
