Match State: Match start scheduled for 3pm local time (11am GMT)
Good day all for today's final of the Cherry Blossom Cup featuring
Pakistan and Zimabwe. The other teams in this quadrangular were
Sri Lanka and Kenya.
This is the 2000th ODI and fittingly being played at Sharjah
Sharjah has hosted more ODIs than any other venue
In this tourney each team has played each other once and today's
final starts at 11:00GMT, a day/nighter to be played in a sultry
Sharjah Stadium.
To catch up with all the news and teams in this tournament please
do have a browse of
http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/2002-
03/OD_TOURNEYS/CBSC/ where the squads section contains details of
all the players and particularly the
lesser known ones in all the teams.
The organisers invited Kenya and Zimbabwe to play a quadrangular
after South Africa withdrew for security concerns. Normally this
annual April event would
be a tri-nation between Pak, RSA and SL.
Weather, its hot and reaching 90 plus there is some dew expected in
the evening.
This morning Heat Streak has been practicing tossing, hoping he
will win one at Sharjah
Pitch has some sheen on it, may be faster but experts still say
some help in there to the bowlers
Toss has finally been won by Zimbabwe and they will bat and have
the same team as in the last game.
Heath is happy and Rashid says it does not matter we lost the toss.
For Pakistan Razzaq and Younis Khan are back in the team for Misbah
and Naved-ul-Hasan
