Sri Lanka vs Pakistan: 1st ODI | Watch Free Live Streaming - 18 December

The two leading Asian cricket teams of Pakistan and Sri Lanka begin their five-match, one-day series at famous Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. 

Pakistan have shown against South Africa recently that they have a really solid group of players who, despite still blowing hot and cold, can perform when it matters and pull them out of tough situations.

Sri Lanka have just had an indifferent series against New Zealand with a mixed bag of results, winning one, losing one and having another game rained out. Both sides play a unique brand of cricket that can be as nerve-wrecking as they are exciting.

It may be added that since 1975, both countries have played 132 ODIs with the edge in Pakistan's favour of 77 wins and 50 losses. One match ended in a tie and four ended without any results.

Both teams are in good form as they levelled the two T20I series 1-1 earlier this month played at Dubai.

Opposing Squads:
Pakistan squad
Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), Mohammad Hafeez, Sharjeel Khan, Ahmed Shehzad, Sohaib Maqsood, Haris Sohail, Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman, Junaid Khan, Anwar Ali, Sohail Tanvir, Bilawal Bhatti

Sri Lanka squad

Pakistan beat South Africa in 2nd ODI - Becomes first Asian Team Ever to Win ODI Series in South Africa

Ahmed Shehzad hooks the ball - © Associated Press

What a sensational match it was today at Port Elizabeth  South Africa, where Pakistan having won the first ODI at Cape Town was playing to win the match and the three matches ODI series 2-0. And boy they just did it and won the match by ONE RUN!! 

Pakistan thus became first Asian team to win an ODI series in South Africa. That really was sensational and very good cricket indeed.

South Africa won the toss and elected to field. Pakistan batting first gave a target of 262 to the hosts. Despite Steyn taking six wickets, Pakistan was able to give  rather tall target to South Africa - though chase-able. It was Pakistan's Shehzad who scored mighty 102. Maqsood and Akmal also added valuable 42 each to give a target of 262 to the hosts.

In fact Ahmed Shehzad's third ODI century and the 124-run stand he had with Sohaib Maqsood for the third wicket set Pakistan up to challenge for their first ever bilateral series win over South Africa. Umar Akmal, who was involved in Shehzad being run out, provided the late flourish, as Pakistan scored 82 in the final ten overs of a shortened game, despite Dale Steyn taking career-best figures.

When it came to South Africa to bat, they did it magnificently too with Amla scoring 98, Villiers 74 and Kock 47. The match ended into a hair raising finish when it was 8 runs and one over to go. Junaid was the most successful bowler who took three wickets, followed by Afridi with two.

Shehzad was declared man of the match for his superb 102.

England vs Australia: 4th ODI - Cardiff | Watch Free Live Streaming - 14 September

The ongoing four ODI series between England and Australia has been curtailed to three match contest after the abandonment at Edgbaston. And Saturday today we watch the match live from Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.

Although the weather forecast has been predicted as 'decent' and  hopefully this match will be uninterrupted - but this time it is the pitch which is unpredictable. It has behaved differently for different matches - but it sure does favours quicker bowlers. 

As for the Australians, they have had win over Cardiff only once against Pakistan in 2001. As for the Englishmen  they have played six times at Cardiff but on only three occasions have they completed the match - the rest being rained off.

Of those three matches, England have won them all, including beating Australia by four wickets in 2010. This makes the match today interesting as England team with its rather new and inexperienced squad faces waning Australia team. Who dominates who - well we will know after a few hours.

And there is one thing more to today's ODI - George Bailey is 30 runs short of 1000 in ODIs. So let us see him completing his 1000 today.

The likely opposing squads are as under for today's match:
England:
EJG Morgan*, RS Bopara, JC Buttler†, MA Carberry, ST Finn, CJ Jordan, J Overton, KP Pietersen, WB Rankin, JE Root, BA Stokes, JC Tredwell, IJL Trott, LJ Wright

Australia:
MJ Clarke*, GJ Bailey, NM Coulter-Nile, JP Faulkner, Fawad Ahmed, AJ Finch, JR Hazlewood, PJ Hughes, MG Johnson, CJ McKay, SE Marsh, GJ Maxwell, AC Voges, MS Wade†, SR Watson

Umpires RJ Bailey and S Ravi

The match is scheduled to begin 14 September 2013 at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff at 10:15 local time (09:15 GMT)

Pakistan vs Zimbabwe: 3rd ODI | Watch Free Live Streaming Online- 31 August

Pakistan and Zimbabwe face each other for a decisive 3rd ODI to decide who wins the ODI series Saturday today at Harare Sports Club today.

After losing two T20Is, Zimbabwe stunned rather over confident Pakistan team by winning the first ODI. Although Pakistan fought back in the second ODI, the decision hangs in balance as both teams have won one ODI each.

So far the Zimbabwe team has put much pressure on Pakistan bowlers, specially Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi who despite good bowling recortd are finding it hard to tackle the hosts. Unless Pakistani bowlers strike hard and its batsmen play responsibly, tides may tilt in Zimbabwe's favour today.

However, Zimbabwe team is in chaos over payement of dues. They aborted a trraining session on Friday over unpaid salaries. And the players have extended to Monday a deadline for Zimbabwe Cricket to clear their dues, which could yet put a cloud over the two-Test series that begins on Tuesday.

The likely opposing squads are as under for today's match:
Zimbabwe squad
BRM Taylor*†, TL Chatara, E Chigumbura, MT Chinouya, T Maruma, H Masakadza, SW Masakadza, TMK Mawoyo, N Mushangwe, TC Mutombodzi, R Mutumbami, T Panyangara, V Sibanda, Sikandar Raza, P Utseya, BV Vitori, MN Waller, SC Williams

Pakistan squad
Misbah-ul-Haq*, Abdur Rehman, Ahmed Shehzad, Anwar Ali, Asad Ali, Asad Shafiq, Haris Sohail, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Irfan, Nasir Jamshed, Saeed Ajmal, Sarfraz Ahmed†, Shahid Afridi, Umar Amin

Umpires RK Illingworth and TJ Matibiri

The match is scheduled to begin at Harare Sports Club 31 August 2013 at 09:30 local time (07:30 GMT)

Pakistan vs Zimbabwe: 2nd ODI | Watch Free Live Streaming - 29 August

Let us take a break from the ongoing US Open tennis and go to Harare where hosts Zimbabwe takes on visiting Pakistan cricket team in the second ODI after having out shined Pakistan in the first ODI.

Zimbabwe's shock win in the first ODI was their first against Pakistan in 15 years. In fact it was mainly due to lack of incisiveness on the part of the Pakistan bowlers to contain the hosts and win over the day.

Also, Pakistan's Boom Boom Afridi is playing his typical game again - pomp and show in one series and then going back to his shell of inactivity. He hardly caused a flutter with the bat in the first ODI when the team needed some late push, while his bowling lacked zip and he was taken for easy runs. Pakistan would hope the all-rounder doesn't wait to fire till his place in the side is in doubt again.

Zimbabwe on the other hand is in jubilation as it beat Pakistan after a gap of 15 years and would be looking forward for a repeat performance again today. A win today will earn Zimbabwe a victory of 2 ODIs in a series of three.

The likely opposing squads are as under for today's match:
Zimbabwe squad
BRM Taylor*†, TL Chatara, E Chigumbura, MT Chinouya, T Maruma, H Masakadza, SW Masakadza, TMK Mawoyo, N Mushangwe, TC Mutombodzi, R Mutumbami, T Panyangara, V Sibanda, Sikandar Raza, P Utseya, BV Vitori, MN Waller, SC Williams

Pakistan squad
Misbah-ul-Haq*, Abdur Rehman, Ahmed Shehzad, Anwar Ali, Asad Ali, Asad Shafiq, Haris Sohail, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Irfan, Nasir Jamshed, Saeed Ajmal, Sarfraz Ahmed†, Shahid Afridi, Umar Amin

The match is scheduled to begin at Harare Sports Club 29 August 2013 at 09:30 local time (07:30 GMT)

Did West Indies wicket keeper Denesh Ramdin cheat a catch in match against Pakistan?

West Indian wicket keeper's catch of Pakistan's skipper Misbah has become controversial and ICC is of the opinion that the catch off Pakistan skipper Misbah was not clean, reports Gulf News.

Ramdin claimed the catch of Pakistan skipper Misbah Ul Haq who bottom edged a chest high delivery off Kemar Roach in the ninth over of the match. The ball carried to Ramdin who appeared to take it cleanly on first attempt but allowed the ball to spell out of his glove onto the grass. 

He then went and joined his teammates in the celebratory huddle when the square leg umpire felt that they catch may not have been clean. The replays confirmed it and ICC has charged Ramdin with a Level 2 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct whereby he has acted contrary to the spirit of the game.

Ramdin has pleaded not guilty to the offence, and a hearing will take place in London on Monday. The range of penalties for all first Level 2 breaches are the imposition of a fine of between 50-100% of a player’s match fee and/or a suspension of up to two ODI matches.

West Indies beat Pakistan by 2 wickets in ICC Champion Trophy second ODI at Oval

Chris Gayle bowled by Saeed Ajmal for 39 [Photo: Cricinfo]

As many expected, the West Indies prevailed upon a rather inexperienced Pakistan cricket squad for ICC Champions Trophy 2013 when both teams met at Oval Friday today for their first ODI of Group B.

Although West Indies won the toss, but seeing the pitch conditions that were likely to assist the bolwers, the W indies decided to field - which looked like a good decision.

Coming to bat, Pakistan showed a hopeless performance as most of its players went back for ducks or paltry score of less than ten. It was only  Jamshed and Misbah (captain) who showed a superb game and scored 50 and 96 respectively.

Roach and Narine were the most successful bowlers who dismantled three for 28 and three for 34 respectively.

Coming to bat to chase a target of 171, Gayle scored 39 before being bowled by Saeed Ajmal. Samuels and Pollard scored 30 each and the West Indians were able to reach the target and scored 172 with 56 alls remaining and two wickets in hand.

Mighty Irfan was the most successful bowler who took 3 for 32, followed by two wickets each by Saeed Ajmal and Wahab Riaz.

So once again batsmen failed the bowlers of Pakistan and let go many chances to score more and carry the day. This seem to continue to go on during the remaining matches and Pakistan has started with a lose start - a posture form which they must recover as fast as they can - lest the tournament slips out of their hands.

England finally beat New Zealand in the 3-ODI series' last match by 34 runs at Trent Bridge Wednesday, yesterday.

However, England lost the 3-ODI series by 1-2 to the Kiwis.

Pakistan vs Ireland: Pakistan tour of Scotland, Ireland and England | Watch Live Free Streaming - 23 May - 1st ODI

Pakistan cricket team which is on tour of Scotland and Ireland 2013 will play its first ODI against Ireland at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin Thursday today.

As for the today's ODI, this is what Cricinfo has to say:

"Contests between Ireland and Pakistan are rare - this will be only their fourth meeting - but the fixture has a place in cricket folklore.

Pakistan vs South Africa: The Winner 5th ODI | Watch Live Free Streaming - 24 March

The 5th and final ODI between visiting Pakistan and South African cricket teams is being played at Benoni Sunday, 24th March to decide which team wins the series.

As cricinfo puts it, Sunday could well be Benoni's biggest day since Charlize Theron won the Oscar. This Sunday too is special as either the visitors clinch the trophy of the ODI series or the hosts clutch it and do not give it away to the visitors.

For around lucky 8,500 spectators that would be watching the match right in front of them and those countless fans watching TV in Pakistan and South Africa, Sunday 24th March is going to tilt either way - a match after which the both teams will only meet in the forthcoming champions trophy.

Victory for Pakistan would give them their first win in a bilateral series over South Africa. Now it is up to the visitors to show their muscles in their last battle in South Africa.

The likely opposing teams for the match are:
South Africa:
1 Quinton de Kock, 2 Hashim Amla, 3 Colin Ingram, 4 AB de Villiers (capt, wk), 5 David Miller, 6 Farhaan Behardien, 7 Ryan McLaren 8 Robin Peterson 9 Dale Steyn/Morne Morkel, 10 Rory Kleinveldt, 11 Lonwabo Tsotsobe

Pakistan:
1 Imran Farhat, 2 Mohammad Hafeez, 3 Kamran Akmal (wkt), 4 Younis Khan/Asad Shafiq, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), 6 Shoaib Malik, 7 Shahid Afridi, 8 Wahab Riaz, 9 Saeed Ajmal 10 Junaid Khan, 11 Mohammed Irfan

The big question for the Sunday's match is whether Younis will play or be ditched in favour of Asad Shafiq. Younis has not shown much of himself lately and is likely to miss the ODI Sunday.

The pitch at Benoni is known to be as lifeless as the town around it can sometimes seem. And it will not be expected to do anything too special. It should be sluggish, a few will keep low and it will be hard work for batsmen and bowlers alike. A typical late summer's day with warm temperatures is forecast but there is a chance of an afternoon thundershower.

So let us see how things turn out to be as the match at Benoni is being eyed greedily eyed by both teams.

The match is scheduled Sunday, 24 March, 2013 at (10:00 local | 08:00 GMT | 13:00 PKT) at Willowmoore Park, Benoni.

Pakistan equalizes ODI series 2-2 againt South Africa

As I said in my post yesterday that the 4th ODI is going to be crucial both for Pakistan and South Africa. And it did turn to be that way today.

While it was the endeavour of the hosts to give Pakistan a tall target to chase and in the process make their batsmen crumble early to win the ODI, the opposite happened.

Pakistan with 1-2 odd, badly needed to win the Kingsmead ODI and win the did as their batsmen and bowlers both did a tremendous job in restricting the hots from giving a un-chasable target while the batsmen had firm feet on ground to chase the given target.

Winning the toss, the hosts decided to bat - but bad luck struck as Amla was gone just for duck and so did Ingram. Although Villiers and Miller scored heavily, 75 and 67 respectively, rest of them did not put a supporting show and were back in pavilion for mere 234 runs. Pakistan's Irfan, Junaid and Ajmal bagged three wickets each.

Coming to bat, Pakistan's Hafeez was given out given out trying to block the throw and running in line of throw. He changed his position while running to block the throw with no score.

Hafeez given out for obstructing the field

But then opener Imran Farhat and captain Misbah played a superb innings and scored 93 and 80 respectively. Afridi could not give repeat performance of the third ODI and was gone for 4. Pakistan, thanks to Imran and Misbah, surpassed the given target by a run more and won the match with a score of 236 by three wickets.

Misbah was declared player of the match for his supporting 80 runs that contributed to the winning of match for Pakistan.

Pakistan now plays the fifth and the final deciding ODI against South Africa on 24th March at Benoni.

South Africa vs Pakistan: the crucial 4th ODI - Watch Live Free Streaming | 21 March

The visiting Pakistan cricket team plays the 4th ODI of the five-ODI series Thursday at Durban against hosts South Africa.

The match Thursday is very important for both the teams. For Pakistan, an equalizer would give them a chance to win the series if they also take on the fifth ODI as well. But as for the hosts, a win at Durban will bring them a series win 3-1 and clinch the trophy.

Although the South Africans won the third ODI at Wanderers Stadium, Johannesberg, it was a close call as after dismantling of its top batting elite, Pakistan's Shahid Afridi and tail ender Wahaab Riaz were almost to surprise the hosts.

It remains to be seen whether Pakistani bowlers, who have always fared better than the batsmen come back to life at Kingsmead and are able to dislodge ace South African batsmen, like Amla and Villiers who scored centuries at Johannesburg.

Pakistan will have an edge due to massive support they await at Durban - something which may leave South Africa feeling up against it. Also Pakistan hold the record for the highest innings total at Kingsmead.

Shahid Afridi's superb 88 off 48 balls failed to win 3rd ODI for Pakistan

Unlike previous limited over matches, where Pakistani bowlers usually outsmart the batsmen and take wickets in succession, the 3rd ODI at Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg Sunday today was a different ballgame altogether.

Record third wicket partnership of 238 between Amla (122) and Villiers (128) set a huge target for Pakistan 

Today, Pakistan's bowlers seemed helpless against the South African stalwarts and failed to dislodge Hashim Amla and Villiers who scored centuries before going back to the pavilion. The duo's superb centuries and Plessis 45 scored an unbeatable 343 in 50 overs. Pakistan's Wahaab Riaz proved too costly for Pakistan for his 2/93, followed by Saeed Ajmal's 1/63.

Coming to bat, opener Nasir Jamshed once again failed to stay on the crease and was sent packing for just 10 runs. Although Hafeez stood to the ground for 57, others kept going back for small additions to the total. However, it was Shahid Afridi who put life into the match by his high hitting 88 off 48 balls. But he alone could not address the damage already done.

Shahid Afridi's high hitting 88 off 48 balls could not win 3rd ODI for Pakistan

Surprisingly Wahaab Riaz, who cost too much as a bowler, added valuable 45 runs. But the effort by Afridi and Wahaab could not win the match for Pakistan and Pakistan lost by 34 runs with 1.5 overs remaining. Tsotsobe bagged 3/74 while McLaren took 3/56.

Hashim Amla and Villiers shared the players of the match awards for their superb match winning centuries. Beside the thrilling match, the hallmark of today's match was the pink dress worn by the South African team to show their solidarity for the cause of fighting against the breast cancer.

South Africa now leads the 5-ODI series by 2-1.

4th ODI will be played between South Africa and  Pakistan at Durban on 21 March 2013.
