Malik out as Pakistan sends Australia to bat in fourth ODI

DUBAI, March 29, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Pakistan won the toss and sent
Australia, who have an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, into
bat in the fourth one-day international in Dubai on Friday.

Australia, who won the first two games by eight wickets in Sharjah and the
third in Abu Dhabi by 80 runs, brought in fast bowlers Kane Richardson and
Nathan Coulter-Nile.

The pair replaced Pat Cummins and Jason Behrendorff.

Pakistan were forced to make two changes as skipper Shoaib Malik suffered
rib injury and opener Imam-ul-Haq fever to withdraw from the game.

Opener Abid Ali and batsman Saad Ali were handed ODI debuts while Imad
Wasim will lead the team.

The last match will also be played in Dubai on March 31.
