Zimbabwe vs Pakistan ICC World Cup Cricket Match 2007
Group D, Match 5, PAK vs ZIM: Zimbabwe tottering at 30 for 3 against Pakistan as rain halts play in Jamaica
Mar 21, 2007
Rain has halted play in Jamaica with Zimbabwe reeling at 30 for 3 in 10.2 overs, in reply to Pakistans 349 all out in their final Group D match.
Fast bowler Umar Gul had removed openers V Sibanda (0) and C J Chibhaba for 3 to make early inroads into the Zimbabwe lineup. Mohammad Sami picked F Kasteni for 9.
Reporterd Earlier: Pakistan were all out for 349 in 49.5 overs, their highest total in World Cup, after being put in to bat by Zimbabwe skipper Prosper Utseya in their Group D fixture at Sabina Park, Jamaica on Wednesday.
Imran Nazir led the Pakistan run spree with a career best 160 runs, which came off just 121 deliveries and included 14 boundaries and eight hits across the fence.
Zimbabwe skipper Prosper Utseya won the toss and elected to field against Pakistan in their Group D fixture at Sabina Park, Jamaica on Wednesday.
Pakistan have already been knocked out of the tournament after losing to minnows Ireland in a shock defeat. Pakistan have never departed a World Cup without winning a game.
But Zimbabwe who could still qualify for the Super Eights with a win will pose a stern test.
Inzamam ul Haq, who announced his retirement from the shorter version of the game a day after coach Bob Woolmer's death on Sunday, will be playing his last ODI today.
Pakistan Team: I Nazir, S Afridi, Y Khan, M Yousuf, I Haq (c), S Malik, K Akmal (wk), M Sami, R Iftikhar, U Gul, D Kaneria
Zimbabwe Team: V Sibanda, F Kasteni, J Chibhabha, B Taylor (wk), S Matsikenyeri, S Williams, E Chigumbura, G Brent, P Utseya (c), T Mupariwa, C Mpofu
Group D, Match 5, PAK vs ZIM: Inzamam wants to win for late coach
Mar 21, 2007
Inzamam-ul-Haq will lead Pakistan for one more match, and has vowed to win it for Bob Woolmer.
Woolmer died suddenly Sunday, the day after Pakistan slumped out of contention on an upset loss to Ireland. That followed an opening loss to West Indies.
Woolmer, a former England Test batsman and South Africa coach, had been coaching Pakistan since 2004.
Inzamam announced after Woolmer's death that he will quit as captain and retire from one-day cricket after the World Cup.
That leaves him one more match, against Zimbabwe on Wednesday.
Zimbabwe is playing for a place in the Super 8s. Pakistan is playing for pride, and in memory of Woolmer.
