Kyle Busch and his team have been penalised for a technical infraction during last weekend's NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Texas, but he can still clinch the title next weekend at Phoenix.

The points leader has been docked 25 points in the drivers' standings, while his team has been docked the same amount in the owners' standings, after officials found an improperly attached weight on the #18 car during the opening day inspection.

Jason Ratcliff, the team's crew chief, has been fined $5,000 and placed on probation until the end of the year for the rules infringement.

Despite the points loss, Busch can still clinch his maiden NASCAR title next weekend at Phoenix, but he now needs to finish seventh or better on Saturday in order to become champion.

Watch Live Cricket With both teams having won one game each, the head decides its climax with lights.

While Pakistan had a crushing 138-run victory in the opening match on Tuesday, New Zealand hit back in style, winning the second game by 64 runs on Friday.

All-rounder Shahid Afridi still cornerstone of Pakistan in their aspirations to win a number of days after an interval of one year. Pakistan have not won an ODI series since beating West Indies ? here last year.

Afridi was at his devastating best in the first game, breaking 70 of 50 balls and then took two points of the star in the team's victory. Although not scored in the second game, the leg-spinner took a couple of points.

Pakistan reflection would be looking at another brilliant display of his all-terrain, including Afridi, Kamran Akmal and Abdul Razzaq in the final.

In the positive field, the team is excited to be joining their starters. Khalid Latif was an impressive tournament, scoring 64 and 45 in two games.

After a disappointing start on Tuesday, Salman Butt successful form with a polished half-century in the second-dayer on Friday. However, the main concern for the team would be the master shape Younus Khan, who has been struggling to make runs for a while. Younus, who had scores of 0 and 19 in the tournament, tickets would be willing to play a captain on Monday.

Remains to be seen whether there will be any substantial changes in the team for the final match. Former players such as Waqar Younis and Rameez Raja Abdul Qadir and have questioned the decision to remove a young hitter like Omar ODI squad Akmal second. The players were in excellent form in the opening match, but proved costly in the second. The likes of Umar Gul, Mohammad Aamer Saeed Ajmal is well established and have another opportunity to batters Kiwi.


Furthermore, New Zealand, led admirably by Daniel Vettori, the bank in his brilliant team to Pakistan last. Although Vettori would be the key player on the team, return to form Brendon McCullum new dimension to their strategies.

Devastating opening McCullum, who hit a brilliant century in his team's victory on Friday, should be willing to give another great start for your team. Both Aaron Redmond and Martin Guptill had at least one good shot in the tournament, but a middle order batsman Ross Taylor is a concern. He could not open his account in the two games.

Fielding is an area in which New Zealand has a clear advantage over their opponents. The combination of Guptill, Taylor and Neil Broom has already made a mark in the tournament with his work in the field spending.

In bowling, New Zealand are pinning their hopes on Vettori and fast players - Shane Bond and Kyle Mills - to make an impact in the deciding game.

India vs Australia 6th ODI Nov 8 Sunday
Nehru Stadium
Guwahati 09:00

So, whom do you think will win 6th ODI India Vs Australia Match? It's the 6th ODI of the Series and let me make you know that the last match which was 5th ODI India Vs Australia at Hyderabad was won by Australia with 3 Runs and Australia lead the series with 3-2.

The lack of Consistency is making india loose all the matches.

After courting defeat in the 5th ODI from the jaws of victory, Indian captain M S Dhoni said that India could not win the mental battle against Australia in Hyderabad.

I don`t think it was the talent part. I think it was the mental part, where you know you can play a big shot and you back yourself to do that,??? Dhoni said. ???At times you just go through the motions, you don`t know if such a shot is needed or not.???

Dhoni also said that India could not come up with one last minute knock-out punch which might win them the close game. ???We came very close, but the one last effort that we needed as a team we couldn`t put in???, Dhoni said after the match.

Dhoni also conceded the fact that dropping so many catches is one of the reasons behind India???s downfall. ???We dropped three catches. One of them was tough,??? Dhoni said.

We lost too many wickets in the middle order. Myself, Gauti [Gautam Gambhir], Yuvraj , we got out pretty quickly. We could have done better. Though it was a very good track to bat, you still need a serious effort to get close to 350. If we had stopped them to 330 or 325, we would have had a better chance.???

I am not saying they could have kept them to 270, but even if they could have kept them down to 320, it would have been a completely different game. On these wickets, when there is no seam or swing, experience comes in.

I will update the winning news as it happens the Nov 8 Sunday, Nehru Stadium, Guwahati at betrepublic.com.
