Recently, Pakistan & India Performed Well...

Last couple of months is really good for both arch rivals, Pakistan and India. Pakistan beat England in test series (2-0) as well as one day series (3-2). India beat Sri Lanka in test series (2-0) and climbed up to 2nd spot in ICC Test Championship. Pakistan also performed well in recent times and clinched the 3rd spot in ICC ODI Championship. Before the last encounter between Pakistan and England, both Pakistan and South Africa shared the 2nd spot in ICC ODI Championship and if Pakistan managed to snatch the victory in last day / night encounter, then Pakistan would easily be ahead of South Africa. Anyways, a lot of cricket is left in the season. India is coming to Pakistan and first test will be started in the first week of January. Very interesting games are expected as both teams have won the home series and have high morale.

Pakistan Beat Ashes Winners

Yesterday, Pakistan won the test series against England 2-0. Pakistan suffered in the first match at Multan but at the end of the day, Pakistan emerged as the winners after a close contest. The second test at Faisalabad could be declared as Inzamam's test as he scored centuries in both innings and hammered the English bowlers in every corner of the ground but England managed to keep the series alive till the final test at Lahore. Lahore test was almost a one sided game as England scored just 288 on batting track and Pakistan replied with a huge total of 636/8 including a glorious double century of Muhammad Yousuf and century of Kamran Akmal. England had to play almost one and half day to save the match. Things are under control of English team till lunch on the final day but in post lunch session, Pakistan's pace man Shoaib Akhtar and leg spinner Danish Kaneria finished the match as well as series in just 76 balls by picking up 8 wickets for 43 runs. Pakistan also moves 3 steps up in the ICC test ranking and now on 4th place. Now, the One days are ahead. I think that will be an interesting contest too.
