Razzaq sixes lift Pakistan over England
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 02 - 2010

Abdul Razzaq hammered five sixes in a swashbuckling 18-ball innings of 46 not out Saturday to lead Pakistan to a four-wicket win over England in the second and final match in the Twenty20 series.
Pakistan, which lost Friday's opening game in Dubai by seven wickets, was set a victory target of 149 and was in trouble when debutant fast bowler Ajmal Shahzad grabbed two wickets in the first over.
Spinner Graeme Swann also claimed three wickets as Pakistan slipped to 78 for five but Razzaq showed no fear, carrying his team to victory with six balls to spare.
Earlier, England was indebted to Kevin Pietersen as it chalked up 148 for six after being put in to bat.
Pietersen followed up his 43 not out Friday with a dynamic 40-ball 62 that included three sixes. He and opener Jonathan Trott (39) shared a stand of 98 for the second wicket but seamer Yasir Arafat pegged England back by taking three for 32.
England leaves for its tour of Bangladesh on Sunday while Pakistan's next mission will be to defend its Twenty20 World Cup title in the Caribbean in April and May.
England calls Kieswetter
Somerset wicketkeeper-batsman Craig Kieswetter has been added to England's one-day squad for this month's tour to Bangladesh.
Kieswetter, 22, caught the eye of the selectors by hitting 81 in the England Lions' Twenty20 victory over the senior England team in Abu Dhabi Wednesday.
Van Zyl to remain SA coach
Corrie van Zyl will continue as South Africa's interim coach until April 2011, Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced Friday.
Van Zyl, who recently led South Africa to a drawn Test series in India, was appointed on an interim basis after Mickey Arthur resigned as coach last month.
The 48-year-old Van Zyl will be in charge through the 2011 World Cup, due to take place on the Subcontinent in February and March next year. Graeme Smith will continue to captain South Africa for the same period while Jacques Kallis was appointed vice captain in all forms of the game.
