England bat in Twenty20 , On Difficult Pitch :)

England under Stuart Broad has clinched a hat-trick of winning tosses in this 3-T20I Series and will bat first in the third and final match at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Today’s match will be the decider of the Series after England had leveled it at 1-1 following an impressive victory day before yesterday at Dubai.

England : KP Pietersen, C Kieswetter (Wicket Keeper), RS Bopara, EJG Morgan, JM Bairstow, JC Buttler, S

England look to be the favourites to win the third and final T20I after posting a fighting total of 129 for 6 on what is a sluggish pitch at Abu Dhabi. Opener Kevin Pietersen carried his bat responsibly to ensure that England got what they wanted on a pitch that was very slow with low bounce. Pietersen batted all the 20 overs to remain unbeaten on 62 from 52 balls with 6 fours and a last ball six of the English innings.

Apart from Kevin Pietersen, none of the English batsmen really got going on a difficult pitch to bat on at the Sheik Zayed Stadium. Pietersen who has been in-form scoring two centuries in the One Day Series batted according to the pitch conditions and played most of his big shots perfectly after picking up vacant spots in the outfield. Saeed Ajmal was once again amongst the wickets for Pakistan taking 4 for 23 in four overs.
