PAKISTAN VS. SOUTH AFRICA (4TH O.D.I.)
After a one-sided game to South Africa in the 3rd ODI ,The PROTEAS are all ready to seal up the 5-ODI series taking home the silver-ware by 3-1 but the ASIAN GLADIATORS are still on mark by their one victory in the current series and the will do their best to bring the 5 match series back to 2-2. However despite of AHMAD SHAHZAD's 2 fifties and a 32 flyer yesterday none of the PAKISTANI batsmen has shined where as South African have made their mark with FAF DU PLESSIS , JP DUMINY and the new-comer QUINTON DE COCK. Some unforgettable performance by the SOUTH AFRICAN PAKISTANI BLOOD "IMRAN TAHIR" and the revival of STEYN and the No.1 Batsman "HASHIM AMLA" still in the hut, the guests are all set to beat up the ASIAN CHAMPIONS.
But the hosts are all on to bring the series back to life. Still PAKISTAN have got the MAGICIAN "SAEED AJMAL" in their trunk backed up by THE PROFESSOR"MUHAMMAD HAFEEZ" and the BOOM BOOM "SHAHID KHAN AFRIDI" and the 7'1'' GENTLE GIANT "MUHAMMAD IRFAN".With all these and the youngster AHMED SHAHZAD in full form,Green shirts are on their chase to make a strong revival.
PRE-MATCH ANALYSIS;
However the stage is all set in the ABU DHABI STADIUM tor a crucial 4th match. Pakistani fans will be hoping a better change in the site especially in the batting department with no flow in their bowling but the SOUTH AFRICANS hope that the hosts continue to struggle in their batting. The pitch will suit the batsmen perfectly as it would be slower than it was. With MISBAH XI struggling in the batting the conditions clearly favour the PROTEAS but you never know what happens.
PREDICTION:
THE ASIAN GLADIATORS will not give away any thing easily during their bowling. The pitch is clearly an ideal for spin bowling which will not only benefit PAKISTAN's "SAEED AJMAL" but who else "IMRAN TAHIR".
Still a long way to go but batting first will be definitely favored. Looking at the stats and PAKISTAN's ability to bounce back in such series, the hosts will fight back to reclaim their lost dignity.
SOUTH AFRICANS are definitely on fire and are the hot favourites but my VOTE goes to PAKISTAN. The reason being their ability and earlier performances in such a kind of series I will definitely go with PAKISTAN.......... LET'S WAIT AND WATCH...
(BEST WISHES TO BOTH THE TEAMS AND HOPE FOR STRONG COMPETITION. MAY THE BEST ONE WIN.)
