Exclamation Pakistan v India, 4th ODI, Multan.

In some ways one can call this game, 'the decider'! India would be looking to book a series win here itself and reclaim the ODI-championship back from the hosts. Pakistan, earlier had won it 4-2! Pakistan will have to win to stay alive. They already had lost Shoaib Akhtar and now the names of Afridi and Umar Gul have been added to the injury list. While India would be without the 'Sultan of Multan'- Virender Sehwag. Agarkar has recovered from injury and will play. Zaheer Khan may be axed with Ramesh Powar coming in as the super-sub.

From Pakistan, Salman Butt may be dropped thanks to the zero runs in his last 2 innings, thereby making place for Imran Farhat. Rana is also likely to be on his way out. So Sami and Rao Iftikhar Anjum should be playing tommorow. I fully agree with the likely teams suggested by Dileep Premachandran on Cricinfo which are as follows-

Pakistan
(likely): 1 Imran Farhat, 2 Kamran Akmal (wk), 3 Shoaib Malik, 4 Mohammad Yousuf, 5 Inzamam-ul-Haq (capt), 6 Younis Khan, 7 Faisal Iqbal, 8 Abdul Razzaq, 9 Yasir Arafat, 10 Mohammad Sami, 11 Mohammad Asif. Super sub: Rao Iftikhar Anjum. India (likely): 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Irfan Pathan, 4 Rahul Dravid, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 Mohammad Kaif, 7 Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 8 Suresh Raina, 9 Ajit Agarkar, 10 S Sreesanth, 11 Rudra Pratap Singh. Super sub: Ramesh Powar.
