MUMBAI: Following the disappointment of the first ODI being washed
out, everyone will be geared up with anticipation for the second
ODI which gets underway live and exclusively on Ten Sports on Thursday.
Pakistan, having won the recent Test series will be oozing confidence
as will Mohammad Yousuf after breaking Sir Viv Richards long standing
record for most runs in a calendar year.
The home team has had even more good news following the announcement
that the bans on both Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif have been
lifted with immediate effect.
The visitors will look to their recent good performances in the
Champions Trophy to lift them after the Test defeats. In that tournament
they gained victories over Australia, India and South Africa to
get them to the final but then found the Aussies just too good for
them.
But their build up to the ODI’s have been disrupted with the
loss of both Ramnaresh Sarwan and Dwayne Bravo who are out of the
series due to a broken foot and personal reasons respectively.
Weather permitting all the action will be live on Ten Sports starting
at 11-30IST.
