KARACHI (TheSportsNext) September 2, 2012: After defeating
Australia by seven wickets in the second One Day International at Abu Dhabi on
Saturday early morning, Pakistani cricketers left for Dubai in the afternoon to
take on the Aussies in the third and final match of the series to be held on
September 3-4, 2012.
Sources told this scribe that a
decision on whether former skipper Shahid Khan Afridi will be part of the
Pakistani playing eleven in the third ODI or not will be taken on Sunday after
the team’s net session.
Shahid Afridi had received
injury during a practice session ahead of the second ODI when he dived while
catching a ball during fielding drills. Thereafter, left-arm fast bowler Junaid
Khan made it to the final eleven and impressed many with his disciplined bowling.
On Saturday, Pakistani team
management made players to have an off day before returning to nets on Sunday to
get ready for the final ODI.
The three-match One Day
International series is tied 1-1 after Australia defeated Pakistan in the
opening match by four wickets in Sharjah before Pakistan leveled the series
with a seven-wicket victory in Abu Dhabi.
