Now we have Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha on crease after 37 overs we have 217 for 4 with next 10 overs needs some good runs from Pakistan if they are looking for whitewash in this ODI series after having humiliating defeats in T20i matches and also for good confidence in test matches which are going to start on 26th December.
Saim Ayub, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan batted very responsibly. Pakistan lost the wicket of Abdullah Shafique in the first over of the match. But Saim Ayub and Babar Azam were able to build a big partnership of 114 runs. Pakistan lost their second wicket at 115 runs. And Pakistan lost their third wicket at 208 runs. Saim Ayub was able to score 101 runs and Mohammad Rizwan was able to score 53 runs. However, Shafique and Kamran Ghulam returned to the dressing room with the first ball today.
The batsmen you mentioned, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, batted very responsibly. They not only batted responsibly, they batted with a lot of patience. Saim Ayub batted very well and He should be admired by all because he scored a century in the first ODI match and also scored a century in the third ODI match. Yesterday, Pakistan's players put up some big partnerships. In fact, in cricket, if a team can put up big partnerships, it becomes much easier for that team to score more runs.
After 40 overs, Pakistan's total is 237 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. Salman Agha and Tayyab Tahir are now at the crease. If these two batsmen can survive at the crease till the end, then I guess Pakistan team will be able to score 320+. However, the performance of Pakistan's batsmen is very erratic.
Pakistan scored 308 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 47 overs in yesterday's match, Salman Agha and Tayyab Tahir have worked hard for their team.
