LIVE - Zimbabwe v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755- 3rd One Day International – Match Update
Pakistan's charge towards a big score has been halted by the quick departures of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 bowlers making a spirited comeback in the game. The third ODI between the two sides is currently being played at the Harare Sports
Club, September 14, 2011.
While Malik was dismissed by a blinder of catch off his own bowling by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kyle-Malcolm-Jarvis-c71974 to leave the visitors 5 down at the score of 215.
This has brought a new pair on the crease, with skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adnan-Akmal-c42042.
The batting side made full use of a lackluster bowling, with the third-wicket pairing of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 adding a quick 97.
As the youngster perished after making a deserving half-century, Malik was sent to the crease. He hit spinner Raymond Price for a paddle sweep and rotated the strike with ease.
On the other end, Khan was given a lifeline by Chigumbura, who dropped a difficult chance fielding at short mid-wicket.
Khan made full use of his second berth as he smashed the first ball of the 37th over by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/P-Utseya-c2145 for a mighty six to the mid-wicket boundary. A gentle ball from the spinner was easily cleared by the batter, who then showed off by pointing
his biceps to the pavilion.
Price then appealed for an LBW chance but the umpire waived off the call, as the angle showed the bowling would have missed the stumps.
Afterwards Younis was to hit Utseya for a lap-sweep to the fine-leg boundary before getting out on 81.
Earlier, the visitors started off well with the inform opening pairing of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-c64193 Farhan going along 7 runs per over to give their side a solid start.
Hafeez was the first to go down after making 23, with Farhat perishing after playing a valuable knock of 37.
Pakistan look set to amass a total in excess of 250, which will be difficult for the hosts to chase, considering the strength and depth in the visitors' bowling department.
