The Protean clash continues with their recent opponents Pakistan. Pakistan are on to a short tour of South Africa from 20th November 2013 to 30th November 2013. The recent hosts will play a short series comprising of 2 T20Is and 3 ODIs before the y progress towards a home series against Srilanka. It has been also rumored that later on in the upcoming January 2014 , a triangular series will be played between the Asian Super Forces including India, Pakistan and Srilanka.
Pakistan struggling with their batting will be under definite pressure due to pacy pitches which will completely suite to the Proteas. Pakistan will try their best to put the past behind their backs but South Africa will be keen to keep on their devastating bowling. Still its too early to say anything but the South Africa are definitely the hot favourites but you never know what cricket brings to you.
Both the squads have been announced. South Africa are completely unchanged but Pakistan have made two changes forming a 17 member squad which will play 3 ODIs and 2 T20Is. Pakistan squad includes
Misbah-ul-Haq (captain ODI), Mohammad Hafeez (captain T20), Ahmed Shehzad, Umar Akmal (wk), Umar Amin, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Shoaib Malik, Sohaib Maqsood, Sohail Tanvir, Anwar Ali, Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman, Nasir Jamshed, Asad Shafiq, Bilawal Bhatti
Muhammad Irfan and Wahab Riaz miss out the short tour. South African T20I side are totally unchanged and their is no confirmation about the ODI side.
Lets see if Pakistan can improve their batting and do what has been undone for so long or South Africa keep on terrorizing the Asians. What ever happens, all we want is an excellent series of cricket matches because CRICKET WE LOVE YOU............
