The series in Dubai seems to be a classic. The last three matches have been classic. First Razzak won the match from nowhere. Then South Africa held their nerves to win by 2 runs and now Pakistan held their nerves to win by 1 wicket. Now the series heads for it's finale.
Who do you think is going to win the series?
Cheers!

Not sure its a classic or its made to look like one.I was talking to a friend after Pakistan's victory in second match which made the series 1-1, he told me that next SA is winning a close match , and then Pakistan will win and surprisingly that exactly happened ,Pakistan has become too predictable as a team now.You take the last match Younis playing 115 ball innings and with just one boundary otherwise they could have won easily .If you remember in champions trophy match against Aussies Pakistan being being in a winning position took the match to last over and eventually lost it so that India goes out of tournament.It would not be surprising if next match is a thriller again,anyways congrats to Pakistan for pulling this one out.

Yes, this is a stigma that Pakistani cricket will have to live with thanks to their past dealing. In fact today in Hong Kong sixes in the final against Australia there was one more strange match. Australia needed 30 from 5 balls which was virtually unwinnable. Then the bowler went on to bowl three consecutive wides, one of which went for a four. And suddenly the equation became 18 from 5 balls. Then he concedes another six and 2 fours and then takes a wicket to make it 4 runs from 1 ball and guess what he bowls 4 wides!!
With Pakistani cricket anything is possible.
Cheers!

Hi Ram,
It will really feeling good for the Pakistan team as they are recovering from the match fixing scandal.Winning two matches in the series will give them a lot of confidence ahead of their final match in series.South Africans and Pakistanis have really played well in the series.Both teams dragged their nerves from the beginning till the end.Now the Pakistan seems to be getting on to their form.They have began playing as a team and understand with each other.Hope their unity in the team will bring them series win.

Hi Ram,
They should be really satisfied with their performance in the current series.Hope they continue their form and does not involve in match fixing. The young players are also performing well in the series for the Pakistan team.The Pakistanis are also doing preparations for the WORLD CUP.

It's been a roller coaster series so far, both team winning 2 matches each. Now they go in 5th decider. Pakistan has far better chance of winning the series now as they will get good support in Dubai. Also South Africa record in big games is not very good. They seem to fall down in pressure.
