Pakistan beats New Zealand by two wickets in the fourth ODI at McLean Park, Napier Tuesday with an outstanding performance by Misbah-ul-Haq's 93 not out from 91 balls, his highest score in One-Day Internationals. Pakistan has claimed a 2-1 series lead over New Zealand. Pakistan former skipper Zaheer Abbas told APP that the way Misbah- ul-Haq is playing, he should be appointed as captain for Cricket World Cup 2011.
"Everyone can see his performance with the bat which is very remarkable and adds to the team's confidence." "PCB has yet to announce captain for the World Cup and the way Misbah is performing, I believe there are chances that PCB could choose him as ODI skipper," he said.
He expressed that Pakistan cricket team played excellently under the captaincy of Misbah in the last three test matches where two test matches ended in a draw against South Africa in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and they won the first test match against New Zealand by 10 wickets.
He said that a player should have the temperament to stay on the crease and not go for hitting every ball. "Misbah has impressed everyone with his captaincy during the test and ODI matches and has made important contributions with the bat," he concluded. Zaheer said: "in this World Cup, our team should go in with all preparations in all three formats of the game batting, bowling and fielding." Pakistan has still two more ODI's to play against New Zealand.
