Pakistan favourite to win ODI series against Australia

Former Pakistan skipper Zaheer Abbas feels Pakistan will start as the favorites to win their one-day rubber against World Champions Australia in Abu Dhabi and Dubai starting from April 22. We at Zeecric.com bring you the excerpts:

“I am not saying that we should be complacent or underestimate the Australians. But definitely the conditions in Abu Dhabi and Dubai favour us, on paper we are a better side and don`t forget Australia has been losing one-day matches in recent times,” he said.

“The conditions in Abu Dhabi and Dubai also favour us and the I guess the pitches would also be similar to what we have in Pakistan. So I see this series as the best opportunity for Pakistan to win a series against the World Champions,” he said.

“They are never an easy team to beat in any condition but if Pakistan plays to its potential I think we can achieve a victory,” he said.

“I think Younis is a very positive and gutsy player and captain and if he leads from the front I don`t see any reason why we can`t win this one-day series which would be a big boost for Pakistan cricket,” he added.
