DAMMAM: Al-Ettifaq manager Steven Gerrard has called for his players to step up to the mark in search of goals ahead of their Roshn Saudi League match vs. Al-Raed this weekend.
Pakistan's lead pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi on Wednesday became the new number one bowler in ODIs, achieving the feat for the first time in his eventful career that has been a mix of many highs and few lows. He jumped seven places to displace Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood from the top in the latest ICC rankings. Afridi's rise to the top comes a day after his team's victory over Bangladesh in the World Cup in which he captured three wickets for 23 runs.
Former Pakistan pacer Umar Gul has slammed all-rounder Shadab Khan for going off the field during a crucial juncture of the team's World Cup match against South Africa in Chennai. Pakistan suffered a fourth straight defeat on Friday to all but bow out of the tournament. During the South African innings, Shadab took a blow to the head while diving to stop the ball. He went off temporarily, only to return after a while. However, he was soon withdrawn from the game, with Usama Mir replacing him as a concussion substitute.
A defeat against South Africa on Friday will virtually knock them out of the World Cup but Pakistan team is not thinking that option as yet with vice-captain Shadab Khan instead hoping for a return to winning ways for his side. With just four points from five matches, it is a must-win game for Pakistan against South Africa at the Chepauk. Shadab admitted do-or-die matches are generally pressure situations but said it could be different for some teams. "It depends on individual and team. I think that reduces the pressure because you have no option, nothing to lose. If you lose, you're obviously out of tournament. So, the more positive things you bring to the match, the more you benefit," he said at the pre-match press conference.
