Pakistan cricket

World of Cricket has witnessed the strength that has been brought into play by Team Pakistan. The team which has been always considered as the most unpredictable side has gifted Cricket with many things. With the likes of Shoaib Akhtar and Wasim Akram, Pace bowling and reverse swing could be seen as the key reasons that could help the team defend small totals and win against any team on their day.

The nation which is known for its generation of pace bowlers in continuity has now started to generate some quality batsman too. Pakistan has always failed to perform consistently with the bat but the series against Zimbabwe has shown how things may be changing for Pakistan Cricket and how the focus may have shifted to consistency and technique. Pakistan played a remarkable series with both bat and bowl, trying to make an impact after a disappointing loss to New Zealand.

This all started with a Tri-Nation T20 series in which Pakistan emerged as the winner. Ball Tampering had already wounded Australia and there was only one team who looked like taking the cup home and it was Pakistan. They then completed the whitewash against Zimbabwe so that they can head home on a positive note with World Cup being scheduled for next year.

Two Captains ready for Toss
Zimbabwe will like to forget this series as it was nothing more than a nightmare for them. Even if they were trying to play out of their skins, Pakistani bowling line up was too hard for them to cope up. They would have wished for a blessing in disguise, where Pakistan would throw away wickets in a rush and hand them a victory but all this looked impossible when the batsmen of Pakistan were put to bat or even when they were chasing a target. Pakistani openers batted so well that not only did they score centuries and the first ever double century for Pakistan but they looked like breaking every record held by the Openers around the Globe.
