All-rounder Samit Patel has revealed that England are hoping to complete a whitewash victory over Pakistan during the ongoing one-day international series in Dubai.
Touring England took a 1-0 lead in the series yesterday afternoon following their 130-run success.
Having been defeated 3-0 by Pakistan in the recent Test series between the two sides, Patel has insisted that the whole squad are eager to make amends.
"We're looking to absolutely nail this series, to beat them 4-0 and whitewash them," Patel told Sky Sports News. "Obviously a bit of payback for the Test series. The boys are geared up for it. We know exactly what it's going to take.
"It's important to highlight the skill levels we need against their spinners. It would be a great achievement to beat them 4-0 in their own backyard.
"But that's the aim. That would be fantastic. We've got to aim high."
Patel hit 17 runs from 12 balls during yesterday's win.
