A warm match between India and Pakistan increase the worries of Pakistan crticket officials. A match which was played in Oval was totally one sided where Indian openers grab the match in their favour in early overs. Earlier Younus Khan won the toss and elected to bat first. pakistan top ordered struggled early but later Misbahul Haq, Younus Khan and Yasir Arafat managed to post a respectable total.
Pakistan bowling combination was pathetic. The specialist T20 bowler Sohail Tanveer was introdued quite late while Umer Gul who usually bowl after ten overs was given a bowl early along with Yasir Arafat. None of Pakistani bowlers able to impress while Indian batsmen played their strkes freely.
In my earlier writing I posted doubt over Younas Khan captaincy in T20 format. The post can be read here
