Pakistan vs. SOUTH AFRICA 4th ODI


                PROTEAS take the silver-ware home defeating the hosts in the 4th game. PAKISTAN will be looking at the past and will be thinking of their 1 run defeat at SHARJAH but its reasonless to think about.
            Well the play is all over with the victory of the GUESTS.
Pakistan gave Quinton de Kock a 2nd life which he cashed in with his maiden century.The rest of the work was done by who else but the No.1 Fast bowler DALE STEYN who devastated PAKISTAN with his excellent figures 9-1-5-25.PAKISTAN showed a great resistance with Misbah-ul-Haq  and the impressive debutant SOHAIB MAQSOOD scoring a maiden 50 in his debut match but both fell straight to the STEYN GUN.Again the middle-order's failure with ASAD SHAFIQ, MUHAMMAD HAFEEZ & SHAHID AFRIDI Green-shirts were undone by a brute of a bowling from Steyn giving the SOUTH AFRICA an unbeatable lead 3-1 and winning the match by 26 runs as well as taking away the series. Man of the Match was a tough choice with a young centurian and a 5 wicket taker but the match winner was however DALE STEYN taking away 5 important wickets.
The series is all gone from the hosts but a victory in their last match will be consolation to them as well as boost their confidence.With no special left in the series MISBAH will still step out saying :
                                                    یه میرا قصور نہیں کہ میں اوروں سا نہیں 
                                               میں بہادر ضرور ہوں مگر میرا لشکر ہارا ھوا ہے
