Chris Gayle, Kemar Roach and Shivnarine Chanderpaul are set and ready to play and return for West Indies' quarter-final clash against Pakistan in Dhaka. Gayle had an abdominal strain and is now recovered fully, After a Mild Infection, Roach is also healthy and fit and Chanderpaul might be playing to prove the selectors and the team management that he has come out of poor form. Gayle sustained an Injury while playing in a match against Bangladesh and was not playing in the match against Ireland, came to play the match against England but missed the match against India due to his Injury. The presence of Gayle was felt when he returned for the match vs England and smashed 21 ball 40 and then the whole team succumbing after his dismissal. And West Indies top order failed to put up any good performance against India and this Quater Finals vs Pakistan will be mouth watering considering the nature of the volatile players in both teams .
Pakistan management dont have the ideo of changing the winning eleven and that is going to stay in the game against West Indies. Pakistan had won 5 out of their 6 games and topped the Group stage and appeared in excellant form. But the worry for the Pakistam team management has been the form of their speedster shoaib Akthar. No one is sure if he will play or not, but given the possibility that this is his last world cup, they might be tempted to give him a go but also not to play with their winning Combination.
With the possibility of 4 left handers with Shivnaraine Chanderpaul coming to the team, Pakistan might even consider playing Saed Ajmal the Off Spinner in the 14 and might even go for a Spin centric Attack.
The decision to play Saed Ajmal will be a question mark as the left arm spinner Abdul Rehman had played well in all the previous match even though he didnt pick up enough wickets, he was responsible for curbing the run rate and keeping the bastman down.
Pakistan Captain Shahid Afridi has also hinted that it is not a wise option to change the winning combination against Australia. But given the possiblility of the fact that a change might benefit the teams winning prospects, he might even go for a minor change or two.
As is normal all Pakistan players including Shahid Afridi are confident on taking on West Indies, but had warned against Complacency. He hinted that there are some relatively young players in the West Indies team and also some nice Fast bowlers which might spring a surprise or two in a knock out match like today.
A win in todays Quater Finals mean that this is the first time after 1999 World cup that Pakistan had reached the Semi Finals and the 4th Successive successful Semi Final Campaign in an ICC event, but pakistan team management expressed that nothing can be compared to a 50 Over Grand event like the World Cup.
