Australia v Pakistan, World T20, Colombo

Unchange Australia Bowl, Razzaq in

Colombo: Australia won the toss and elected to bowl against Pakistan in the Super Eight clash of the World T20 at the R Premadasa stadium on Tuesday.

Australia are playing an unchanged team. Hafeez said he too would have bowled first. He says a target of 150 plus on this pitch will be tough to chase.

One change for Pakistan - Yasir Arafat makes way for Abdul Razzaq.

The fight for the second semifinal slot from Group 2 is indeed intriguingly poised as both India and Pakistan have a fair chance of making the cut with the Aussies enjoying a healthy run-rate of +1.712.

In case Pakistan (-0.426), who are shade ahead of India (-0.452) in terms of net run-rate happen to win against Australia, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men will then have to win comprehensively against the South Africans in order to make it to the last four.

Teams

Australia Shane Watson, David Warner, Miachel Hussey, Goerge Bailey (captain), Cameron White, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade (wk), Brad Hogg, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Xavier Doherty

Pakistan Mohammad Hafeez (captain), Imran Nazir, Nasir Jamshed, Kamran Akmal (wk), Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Umar Gul, Saeed Ajmal, Raza Hasan
