But thereon, Ahmed Shehzad (93) and Haris Sohail (70) struck a crucial second-wicket partnership of 160 runs to create a platform for their side to post a big total.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Shehzad, who has been out of form lately, scored his 11th One-Day International (ODI) half-century while Sohail hit his third fifty to set up the innings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Though the duo got out in quick succession, Pakistan did not lose the momentum as the mantle was handled beautifully by Sohaib Maqsood (45) and skipper Misbah-ul-Haq (65), who scored his 41st half-century.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Towards the end, Shahid Afridi&#39;s 7-ball 21 run cameo helped Pakistan go well past the 300-run mark in their fourth match of the tournament.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">It was an average bowling performance by minnows UAE, except for left-arm pacer Manjula Guruge, who picked up the first four-wicket haul of his career, giving away 56 runs from his eight overs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Brief scores: Pakistan 339\/6 in 50 overs (Ahmed Shehzad 93, Haris Sohail 70, Mishbah-ul-Haq 65; Manjula Guruge 4\/56) vs UAE.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
