Pakistan NewZealand Third ODI

Pakistan and NewZealand are playing third ODI  of series at Sha;rjah.Series is

draw  with 1-1.Pakistan is with out Captain Misbah Ul Haq and Bilawal

Bhatti.Now Anwar Ali and Yasir Shah are named for one day.Final squad of

Pakistan in my opinion will be.
Three fast bowler:

Muhammad Irfan,Wahab Riaz and sohail Tanvir

Three All rounder -Spinner bowler:

Shahid afridi,Muhammad Hafeez, and Haris Sohail

Wicket keeper batsman.Sarfraz Ahmad

Regular Batsman:

Ahmad Shehzad,Umar Akmal,Shafiq Ahmad and Younis khan.

New zealand will retain its winning eleven. Shahid Afridi will lead Pakistan in place of

Misbah Ul Haq.New zealand  can win the series if they show the potential which they

demonstrated in second ODI and second T20 and third test.what a surprising element that

Fawad Alam is not playing having average morethan 45.Umar akmal having average

less than 37 and Asad Shafiq haveaverage less than 26.

It will be interesting to watch Haris Sohail who was most sucessful in first one

day as batsman and in second ODI as bowler .What kind of performance will

show Haris in third ODI.Younis khan has record of performing better in last

match of series, see what has Younis to offer.
