Pakistan set formidable total for West Indies in 4th One Day match at Barbados: Cricket News
PAK 248/9 50 overs
A brilliant hundred by the opening batsman Mohammad Hafeez helped Pakistan to a decent total in the 4th One Day International (ODI) against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
The tourist looked like dominating the hosts yet again, but a late order collapse triggered by the irrepressible Devendra Bishoo levelled things out between the two teams in wet conditions at the Kensington Oval.
The Men in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Salahuddin-c94700 and Tanvir Ahmed.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shafiq-c89281 were the stars for Pakistan as they posted a good score after being put in, Shafiq scored a valuable 71 in a partnership of 153 for the second wicket.
The visitors started poorly though, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ahmed-Shehzad-c42359 who had played himself in form through a hundred in the second match fell to a poorly executed pull-shot for the second successive time. Kemar Roach was the bowler as Dwayne Bravo took a fine tumbling catch,
the youngster managed six runs only.
Shafiq and Hafeez than joined hands and steadily built a solid partnership. The two rotated the strike yet consumed a lot of balls in the middle of the innings. Two small rain interruptions did not hamper their concentration as they posted their respective
half centuries.
Shafiq perished to a tame shot after making 71 runs off 102 balls, captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 disappointed once again falling for only 8 runs. Hafeez on the other hand completed his second ODI hundred, he struck 3 sixes and 7 fours in his knock off 121, which
was his highest score in this format of the game.
From there on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 collapsed dramatically, Bishoo snapped three wickets in quick succession including that of Hafeez. On the other hand the inexperienced batsmen threw away their wickets as the hosts clawed back in the game.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tanvir-Ahmed-c92718 smoked 2 big sixes in the last two over of the innings to take the team to a total of 249/9 he was ironically the third highest scorer of the innings scoring 18 runs.
