Pakistan Vs South Africa 4th One Day International 5 Nov Live

Razzaq's innings at Sheikh Zayed Stadium might still be playing on South Africans as they take field for the fourth one day international at Dubai. Pakistan started shakily to the series but have started improving as the series is progressing.
The two teams gear up for the fourth ODI at Dubai Cricket Stadium. Both teams are suffering from quick changes to their squads. Both would be looking to have a settled side before World Cup as they prepare to go further into the series.

Pakistan have looked a reformed team following Abdul Razzaq's innings, they are looking a fresh team with a winning attitude and boosting confidence. There are however more than one things to worry about for them, the team changes have hurt them a lot.
Dropping three of their key players in form of Umar Akmal, Umar Gul and Misbah ul Haq hasn't helped their cause to shape up a team for the upcoming World Cup. The pitch at Dubai Cricket Stadium is expected to be slightly tougher to bat on than in Abu Dhabi. The fourth game on 5th November will be crucial for both teams. Pakistan bowling has been inconsistent in this series i.e. they have performed well on some occasions and failed on others. It would be interesting to see what they do on Friday.
Pakistan have managed three victories off their last five ODIs
South Africa were a team in form until halted by Razzaq's ton. The fourth one day international will be an interesting encounter. Their captain Graeme Smith not present in the last two games is likely to return to power the batting lineup. Pakistan is likely to draw huge support as it would be a holiday in Dubai on Friday, this can psychologically play a part in South Africa's game play.
Hashim Amla made a ton on 2nd November, continuing his supreme form. Albie Morkel's poor run of displays would be a huge concern. Kallis also got out cheaply in the last game. South Africa are looking to go in the World Cup as favorites to win it, like they always do. They have stressed the importance of every game building up to the World Cup. Friday's game is going to be crucial on the outcome of the series for both teams. South Africa would want Graeme Smith to be fit and take the reins.
South Africa have won four out of five games recently.

			Pakistan Vs South Africa
Venue :1st Twenty20 International, Dubai International Cricket Stadium Live action starts from: 16:00 GMT (21:30 IST) T20 Pakistan and South Africa in UAE 2010-11 Match

Pakistan will play South Africa in the first T20I of the two match T20I series at Abu Dhabi. The game will be played on Tuesday, October 26.

Pakistan is the host of the tour by South Africa but because of the security situation back home, Abu Dhabi and Dubai have been the neutral venues chosen to host the entire series. This includes two Test matches and five ODIs as well and will see the Pakistanis trying to win something this year.

Pakistan has had a very bad lead-up to the series. They had an abysmal tour of England where they not only lost all the series that they had played but were also involved in so many controversies that there were rumours that they may be banned from playing cricket. There were match fixing and spot fixing allegations and the side saw three of the cricketers being provisionally suspended by the ICC for the same.

Speaking of their on-field cricket, their issue has been their batting but in this format of the game, they are expected to do well. Younis Khan makes a comeback to the side but it remains to be seen whether the former captain can play in the T20Is or will be directly play the other two formats. Mohammad Yousuf is out due to injury while Shahid Afridi will continue to lead the side despite issues with the Pakistan cricket board. It was said that the Pakistani management that included the captain Afridi and coach Waqar Younis were not happy with the team that they had got but they had had no say in the decision.

South Africa, on the other hand, go into the T20Is with a new captain. Johan Botha has replaced Graeme Smith in the T20Is and will look to command as much respect as Smith did when he was the captain. So far, Botha's initiation has been good enough - in a series against Australia where he was the stand-in captain he had won the series for them, while against Zimbabwe, he led them to a 2-0 win.

However, playing Pakistan on the slow and low wickets of Abu Dhabi could just be a different ball game altogether. South Africa will need to adapt themselves to the tracks which are going to be unlike those back home and things could get interesting. AB de Villiers will be the wicket-keeper.
