Feb 26 - Sri Lanka v Pakistan

[Meet]

270-80 is what SL should aim to restrict PAK.

And they are able to do it.Expect PAK to get thrashed.

 

[Afridi Akhtar]

Wow!! Pakistan 277 i think its quite good total.because we cant say that srilanka will be able to chase it it maybe 50% they will chase and 50% they cant...pakistan have really good bowlers....lets hope something good.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

it's still anyones game imo. but chasing under lights is hard and SL will need someone to play very well.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

Well, what a fail from Pak at the end. Should've brought in Afridi when Younis fell, take the powerplay and make him score his quick-fire 20. Let Razzaq do the same and bring in Umar at the end if needed.

They should be dissappointed.

277 is a gettable total. But it will be difficult under-lights, and if Gul can produce what he did in England under lights, we are in for a cracker. But I'd rather be SL than Pak right now.

 

[ksduded]

Momentum is definately with Sri Lanka right now and if they begin well with targetting Razzaq and an out of form Shoaib then even with the likes of Afrdi, Rehman and Gul it will be hard to stop them.

Pakistan should be really dissappointed with just 68 coming out of the last 10.

 

[sami ullah khan]

It was Umar Akmal's innings that cost Pakistan an additional 20 or so runs. It is absolutely pathetic to see Razzaq getting only 3 overs of batting. Umar Akmal should be dropped for an extra seamer.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

If Younis and Misbah continue to the bat the way they did, and create a solid base for the last 10-12 overs or so, then yeah, I agree Sami.

 

[sami ullah khan]

If Pak are to have any chance restricting the Lankans, they must get wickets with the new ball.

 

[Meet]

PAK had a great chance to get a run but meh..........
Dilshan and Tharanga are doing well and it'll opening partnership which will cost PAK this match.

 

[BKB1991]

Not really a good start. Afridi seems to be defensive. Need a wicket, man

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

pak are doing no one in this tournament a favour if they end up playing sri lanka's openers into form.

their middle order is already really solid, and the tail is probably being a bit under-estimated. Especially if perera retains his place over kulasekara when malinga comes back.

 

[darthlewis1]

why do they show free hits at a different angle? It seems pretty pointless as the angle they show it from makes it harder to see what the bowler bowled.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Yeah, too many fancy things and basic things aren't sorted. Ridiculous telecast really, still pissed off at that overlay.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

Big wicket that. Game-is-on!

So glad that we're finally seeing a cracker. Keeps swaying from side to side.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Great ball of Akhtar to dismiss Jayawardene. The toss was already crucial. Whoever bats first has the biggest chance to win this match.
