Pakistan looked woeful yesterday underneath the giant Starship Enterprise shaped awning over the Pavillion in Abu Dhabi. Afridi came in and hit more runs off fewer balls than any of the Pakistani batsmen before him and save for a brief scare from Akhtar South Africa cruised to the their target untroubled.
Today I'm taking a leaf out of Nigel the Bear's book and going under the fall of the first wicket for both sides. The line at CricketBetLive is 17.5 for Pakistan and 20.5 for South Africa. His mantra is that a wicket always falls early on as sides look to attack and with some of the better bowling for each side opening up this holds especially true here.
BoomBoom himself was greeted by some crazed fans waving a giant teddy bear in the crowd. Disconcerting though this was it didn't seem to affect the great man and he thrashed three sixes in his brief 27. I like the over for his points line of 36.5 as he looked relaxed and was timing the ball well.
Good luck.
* 1 point per run, 10/catch, 25/stumping, 20/wicket
