Pakistan: 139 all out – 41.2 overs
As often is the case with the unpredictable Pakistan team, the final One Day International match at Providence threatens to be a one-sided affair as the Men in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Green-c60723 capitulated to a paltry total in Guyana.
Batting first after winning the toss, the Men in Green failed to make use of the wicket and folded for a poor score.
From the outset, the batsmen looked ruffled by the nature of the wicket. Left-handed opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Asad-Shafiq-c46208, perished after making only 3 runs. He was first of the four victims for
Ravi Rampaul.
The next to go was http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ahmed-Shehzad-c42359 whose roller coaster tour continued the same way. After making a hundred in the second ODI, this was his third consecutive failure. Shehzad was bowled for 9 runs.
The third wicket to fall was that of youngster http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Salahuddin-c94700 who got a howler from umpire Asoka De Silva. The right-hander was given out lbw off Devendra Bishoo with the ball pitching at least six inches outside the leg stump.
His dismissal triggered a collapse as the man in form http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 were sent packing in quick succession.
Hafeez, who scored a century in the last game at Barbados, scored 55 fluent runs before being bowled off a ball that kept a shade low.
Pakistan lost its last 6 wickets for 46 runs. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595 who looked in good nick played a ball onto his stumps after making 24 runs off 27 balls. His innings was studded with 1 four and a six. Afridi got a beauty from Rampaul that he only managed to edge
behind to the wicket-keeper.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Salman-c77287 was left stranded on the other end for 19.
Rampaul snared 4 while captain Darren Sammy chipped in with 3 wickets. Dwayne Bravo also picked up a couple.
The Pakistan bowlers will have to do extremely well if they are to win the five-match series 4-1.
