The Pakistan cricket team captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, starting at Dubai International Cricket Stadium
on Friday, November 11, 2011.
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium will host the first three ODIs of the five-match series. It is the same venue where Pakistan had won the second Test of the three-match series, while the other two matches, played at Abu
Dhabi and Sharjah, were drawn.
"The atmosphere, the stadium - it's really good to play here," said Misbah while talking to the media reporters on the eve of first ODI of the series.
Pakistan was forced to host its home series at the neutral venues of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 due to the law and order situation prevailing in the country. Misbah said that normally the players feel the heat playing in UAE but the
Dubai stadium is a bit different from the other two venues and players enjoy playing here.
"…it's really good for the players and you don't feel that heat. The atmosphere's really good with the way the stands are built, everybody loves to play here and it's a real plus point for our team," the Pakistan skipper added
further.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, after having won the three-match Test series 1-0, will have an edge over the Lankans. Misbah agreed that it would be a different ball game; however the prolific batsman has his hopes attached with the likes of Shahid
Afridi and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdul-Razzaq-c41623, who have been included into the One-Day squad of the side.
"Of course, it's a different ball game [after the Tests] but the guys who are coming back have played a lot of one-day cricket and they know what to do, so we're ready.,” said Misbah.
The 37-year-old middle-order batsman admitted that having http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540 in the side would be an edge for the Lankans; however, he said that they have their plans to counter the pacer. He further added that the Islanders are
a very good team and his men are all set to do well against the world cup finalists.
