http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 hoping to strike back in the T20 series – Cricket News Update
After losing the three-match One Day International (ODI) series to Australia by 2-1 on Monday, Pakistan’s T20 skipper Mohammad Hafeez is aiming to make amends in the three-match T20I series, beginning from Wednesday, September 05.
Hafeez while talking to reporters said, “It's disappointing not to win the one-day series but the confidence is still high that we have got a good Twenty20 side and I am confident that we can beat Australia."
Taking the series against Australia as a great practice before flying off to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 for the upcoming World T20I Championship, he said, “These matches give both teams a good chance to settle for the mega event."
Spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859, was the most effective bowler against Australia in the one-day series and Hafeez while admitting that the spinner will be a key individual in the T20 series, insisted that Pakistan would not be relying on the spinner as other bowlers will have to chip in.
“Ajmal is a world class bowler but we are not depending on him alone. I think other bowlers must support him from the other end," said the right-hand opening batsman.
Hafeez had a great ODI series where he was outstanding in the finale, hammering an innings of 78 runs.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s T20 squad has been boosted by the arrival of pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Arafat-c98241.
