Proteas set Windies 184-run target

LONDON: Herschelle Gibbs''s 55 was the cornerstone of South Africa''s 183 for seven against the West Indies in their World Twenty20 Super Eights match at the Oval here on Saturday.

South Africa, unbeaten at the tournament so far, were on course for a huge total while Jacques Kallis (45) and Gibbs were at the crease.

But they lost five wickets for 34 runs in 25 balls to give the West Indies hope of chasing down their score on a good batting pitch and fast outfield.

Fast bowler Jerome Taylor, whose second over cost 16 runs, fought back well to finish with three wickets for 30 runs in his maximum four overs.

West Indies, who''d beaten defending champions India by seven wickets in Friday''s late game at Lord''s, saw their seamers suffer early on

But spin, as it has so often done at this tournament, yielded a wicket.

Left-armer Sulieman Benn troubled Graeme Smith before the South Africa captain steered him straight to Andre Fletcher at point. Smith''s 31 came off 18 balls with six fours.

Another fifty stand, between Kallis and Gibbs kept the runs coming briskly before Kallis holed out off medium-pacer Lendl Simmons to Kieron Pollard for a 31-ball 45.

Gibbs pressed on, hoisting Simmons for a huge six over wide long-on. But soon after completing a 33-ball fifty, featuring that six and seven fours, Gibbs exited when he chipped Pollard to Taylor at mid-on.

That left South Africa 136 for three in the 15th over but the West Indies'' revival saw them fall short of 200.

"The wicket was a little on the slow side, back of a length, but generally it was quite a good wicket," said Gibbs who said the run spree dried up later due to his lower order colleagues having had little time in the middle.

"Some of the guys haven''t batted that much so they may have been rusty. Maybe some of us went too early."

Greenshirts face must-win game against New Zealand
LONDON: Skipper Younis Khan on Friday urged his players to come forward and give their best as Pakistan faced a must-win Super Eights match against New Zealand here at the Oval on Saturday (today), writes Khalid Hussain.

Younis, who scored a sparkling only to see Pakistan crumbling in a run-chase against Sri Lanka here at Lordís on Friday, said that his team needs some good partnerships to bounce back in the tournament.

“It’s very important to have some good partnerships but unfortunately we have failed in that area,” said Younis, who played the key role in a 66-run stand for the fourth-wicket with Misbah-ul-Haq in Friday’s 19-run defeat against Sri Lanka. That was the only substantial partnership in the Pakistani innings of 131-9 in 20 overs.

The tame defeat against Sri Lanka means that Pakistan will have to win both their remaining Super Eights games against New Zealand and Ireland to keep their title hopes alive.

Pakistan are expected to boost their hopes against the Kiwis by including experienced all-rounder Abdul Razzaq in the playing eleven today.

Razzaq, who was included in the touring party as a replacement for injured all-rounder Yasir Arafat, joined the Pakistan team at Lord’s immediately after landing here at Heathrow airport on Friday afternoon.

“It’s good to have Razzaq back in the team,” said Younis. “He is training in the nets. We want to have him back but will decide about his inclusion in the playing eleven tomorrow morning,” said Younis.

Razzaq is expected to replace below-par pacer Sohail Tanvir, who had an awful day with the ball against Sri Lanka. Sohail gave away 29 runs from two overs with five wides and three no-balls.

“Sohail’s form is a concern for us,” said Younis.

But the skipper played down the fact that senior all-rounder Shahid Afridi has been in an awful form with the bat, saying that he is happy with the way he has been bowling in the tournament.

Pakistan may also drop Salman Butt after the left-handed opener failed yet again, falling for a duck in the first over against Sri Lanka. His poor fielding has been a major problem for Pakistan, who have the options of either recalling young opener Ahmed Shahzad or give rookie batter Shahzaib Hasan his first chance in the tournament.

New Zealand, meanwhile, will be looking to confirm their place in the last-four after an emphatic 83-run win victory against Ireland at Trent Bridge on Thursday.

The Kiwis have been impressive in their World Twenty20 campaign and their only blemish in the contest was a narrow one-run defeat against title favourites South Africa in a low-scoring group match.
