Pakistan will be looking to complete a 3-0 series whitewash of England when the sides meet for the final match of the Test series in Dubai.
Pakistan will be high on confidence at the moment and are 7/4 with a few bookies to seal the third Test. They have played some impressive cricket so far and more importantly they have been consistent which is different from Pakistan sides of the past. Every single time they have been given an opportunity, they have snapped it up and have made England look mediocre.
England need to win this last match to prove to themselves that they are still a very good side with very strong players. The argument does exist that the team is playing in alien conditions but England will not want to head off to play Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka on the back of such a heavy defeat. England are a much more conservative 15/8 in most places on the market to win the last match.
Mohammed Hafeez has been consistent at the top of the order and he remains a good bet to top score for his side. He is a classical batsman with the right sort of nature to make big scores against the best sides in the world. He has made a couple of good starts so far in the series and will be itching to push on and make a big hundred before the series is over. Hafeez is 4s with Bet365 and Stan James to top score.
Jonathan Trott is one of the only England batsmen to have offered any sort of resistance during this series. Trott has got in a couple of times when others have been falling like flies around him. The England number three has a big job to do in this match to prove that the batting side of his team is a lot stronger than recent performances have suggested. Trott is also 4/1 in a couple of places.
Saeed Ajmal has to be the best bet to finish as top bowler for Pakistan in this final game because the spinner has taken the most wickets so far in the series and secured career best figures in the first match on this ground. Ajmal will also be confident and he is the sort of player who bowls a lot better when he is happy with the way he’s playing. Ajmal is 7/4 with Boylesports to be top bowler.
Monty Panesar will be very unlucky if he does not get selected for this match. Monty came into the England side in the last game to do a job and take the pressure away from the other bowlers. He secured another five wicket haul and proved a real handful which means he is now one of the biggest weapons in the England attack. Monty and Graeme Swann are both 11/4 with Stan James to take the most wickets for England.
