The final ended with a whimper, rain having the final say, depriving Australia of a probable win, the no-result providing Pakistan a reprieve in the form of a shared PSO Trophy

For the second time running, Australia fashioned an emphatic 9-wicket victory with 30 overs to spare to leave Pakistan wondering how far they have to improve not just to win (that thought must have been farthest from their minds) but to make a fist

It was a woeful performance with both bat and ball by Pakistan, and one of clinical precision by Australia

Rashid Latif finished it with a flourish, with nearly 17 overs to spare to get Pakistan off to a winning start in the PSO Tri-nation at the Nairobi Gymkhana cricket ground

TANGIER-- With their backs to the wall, Sri Lanka played with a lot of guts to inflict a numbing 93-run defeat on South Africa, earning a bonus point in the bargain and are on top of the table to wit

On their Independence Day, Pakistan came back into the Morocco Cup 2002 with an emphatic display of batting, and quality bowling for a comfortable win against Sri Lanka

TANGIERS -- In this brand-new cricketing venue at the northern most tip of Africa overlooking the Straits of Gibralter, Pakistan started off their campaign for the Morocco Cup 2002 in a disastrous manner
