Player: | MJ Clarke, DE Bollinger, Shoaib Akhtar |
Event: | Australia in United Arab Emirates 2008/09 |
DateLine: 2nd May 2009
Australia won their first series since beating Bangladesh in September with a strong victory in Abu Dhabi on Friday and the players can relax over the final two games of their United Arab Emirates tour. Sunday's fifth ODI and Thursday's Twenty20 are the last opportunities to tinker ahead of the World Twenty20 and Michael Clarke's men will also be looking forward to a short break before the tournament in England next month.
 
Clarke registered 100 off 122 balls in the eight-wicket success, while Shane Watson battled to a timely 85 not out. Doug Bollinger set up the win with the first five wickets of his career as Pakistan reached 197. 
Pakistan's series has gone downhill since their satisfying win in the opening game. The form of Shoaib Akhtar in the early overs of the second innings on Friday showed he still carries a dose of magic, which has been one of the few highlights for the team. 
Australia : Brad Haddin (wk), Shane Watson, Marcus North, Michael Clarke (capt), Andrew Symonds, Callum Ferguson, James Hopes, Nathan Hauritz, Stuart Clark, Nathan Bracken, Doug Bollinger. 
Pakistan :Salman Butt, Ahmed Shehzad, Younis Khan (capt), Shoaib Malik, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal (wk), Umar Gul, Shoaib Akhtar, Iftikhar Anjum, Saeed Ajmal.
