2nd Match - Canada v Pakistan

Pakistan team has prepared well for this event by playing the RBS 20-20 Cup at home. The team looks a balanced one with ace fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar being the star inclusion. The speedster will be returning to the side after almost a year and will be eager to give a solid performance which he quite often does on his comeback. Shoaib might be a bit rusty but the 20-20 format will enable him to get himself back into the groove as he can go flat out from the word go and has to bowl short spell. Some other talented youngsters have also been given their first chance with the likes of Sohail Khan, Anwar Ali and Shoaib Khan and their performances will be scrutinised closely. For this game Pakistan shouldn't have much of a problem disposing of Canada but still will have to play according to a plan and not be complacent.
