The 2nd ODI between Australia and Pakistan will begin from 24th April at Dubai , Start time 3pm (11.00GMT)
Team news
Marcus North is in the squad following Shaun Marsh’s quick exit with a hamstring injury, but his late arrival will probably rule him out of game two. Marsh returns home and his gap will require some series reshuffling, with Michael Clarke and Shane Watson contenders to partner Brad Haddin at the top of the order.
Australia (possible) 1 Michael Clarke (capt), 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 Shane Watson, 4 David Hussey, 5 Andrew Symonds, 6 Callum Ferguson, 7 James Hopes, 8 Nathan Hauritz, 9 Stuart Clark, 10 Nathan Bracken, 11 Ben Hilfenhaus.
Following their encouraging opening, Pakistan are unlikely to do too much to their side, which needs match practice following their unscheduled break. Expect Afridi and Ajmal to create more problems, especially if they work in tandem.
Pakistan (possible) 1 Salman Butt, 2 Kamran Akmal (wk), 3 Younis Khan, 4 Shoaib Malik, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq, 6 Shahid Afridi, 7 Nasir Jamshed, 8 Umar Gul, 9 Shoaib Akhtar, 10 Iftikhar Anjum, 11 Saeed Ajmal.
Pitch and conditions
This is the last game in Dubai before the series switches to Abu Dhabi for Monday’s match. Clear and warm conditions are predicted for the day-night encounter.
Quotes
“We don’t have exposure in domestic cricket in Australia to that style of bowling. It is difficult when the first time you get it is when you step up to international level … My shoulder will probably get worn out throwing offspinners and doosras.” Australia’s coach Tim Nielsen looks for ways to fix his team’s spin problems
“It was a fantastic team effort. The fast bowlers did well to check the openers and then Afridi and Saeed Ajmal bowled very well. We wobbled a bit when batting but all’s well that ends well.”
