Asia Cup 2022 | Final | Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 11 September 2022 | Dubai | Sri Lanka Innings

[jnaveen1980]

You can't bully batsmen even at 150 kph once the dew sets in.

 

[Savak]

From 53-4 to 170. Big choke by Pakistan. Babar should have bowled Nawaz a couple of more overs.

Babar will always be an eternally dumb non thinking reactive captain.

 

[Marooned]

Anything below 190 won't get defended especially when you don't have bowlers who can bowl high pace.

We are mentally done. Shell shocked. Did you what was going on the field? Pure bundle of nerves.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Babar's day

 

[topspin]

That dropped catch is so costly. For me that has lost us the Asia Cup.

 

[shamaan]

Shocking captaincy from Babar.
170 is a good score like I said.

 

[castortroy]

Let's see what asif, khudil and Iftikhar do today.

All 3 likely to struggle against Lanka spinners

 

[Waleed93]

Sri Lanka favorites.

Our players have lost it mentally.

 

[mrtaim3]

What a choke by Pakistan given they were 5 down on 67.

 

[Rana]

Time for a righteous innings

 

[cricenjoyer]

Poor captaincy from Babar. Nawaz is one of our five bowlers, bowl him out.

Let's see if Fakhar and Babar can comeback to form in the final, if not then I think Sri Lanka has it

 

[Justcrazy]

Rajapaksha is a brilliant player

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Poor captaincy, Nawaz should have bowled his quota. You can't just hide your bowler who has been doing n best form through out the tournament.

 

[shamaan]

The fielding from Shadab was very poor.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Congratulations Sri Lanka, no way do I see us chasing this down in a final. None of our batsmen are good enough, and they look completely shocked right now.

 

[Shafi]

Don't think we will score even 150 unless miracle happens we will loose this match. SL has superior batsmen than us. We don't have a single batsman is Rajapaksa category.

 

[Kianig89]

Babar Azam is even poor as a captain than Yousuf last year Sf should have enough for his schooling

 

[cricenjoyer]

Poor captaincy from Babar. Nawaz is one of our five bowlers, bowl him out.

Let's see if Fakhar and Babar can comeback to form in the final, if not then I think Sri Lanka has it

 

[castortroy]

Lanka spinners will be key

 

[sindhiboy]

What a high quality knock from rajapaksa

 

[Marooned]

What a choke by Pakistan given they were 5 down on 67.

Babar relaxed too soon. They thought they had the game in bag already.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Lanka spinners will be key

Some tuk tuk is coming iftikhar 30(45) lol no way we can win this until rizwan or babar play big innings

 

[shamaan]

This score is par.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Shadab has caught the Hasan Ali virus sadly.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rajapaksha is a brilliant batsman

 

[mazkhan]

Nawaz was criminally under used.

Bad captaincy

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan needs Fakhar , Asif , Khusdil to fire here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Naseem himself saying that the wicket got better to bat on as the innings progressed. Clear chasing advantage at Dubai . Yet, some posters here know better

 

[Sarwar89]

Australia twice in 3 days chased 170+ in last year world cup sf and final.

Pak has to bat well if they want to claim
The prize.

 

[Mp812]

Naseem Shah: We had a great start in the powerplay. But in the end, we should have held them to 120-130. There was some swing and seam early on, but the wicket improved later on. (Hopefully our batsmen will chase it.)

When they say we hope means probably not confident

 

[Marooned]

U had them 55-4. Bowl 4 overs of nawaz right then. That would've choked them plus they might have lost a wicket or 2 in process.

Seriously how can u not bowl Nawaz?? He has pretty much been our best bowler this tournament.

 

[Shafi]

Let's see what asif, khudil and Iftikhar do today.

All 3 likely to struggle against Lanka spinners

You forgot Fakhar.
