Asia Cup 2023: Super 4: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 14 September | Colombo | Pakistan innings

[karthikc]

Pakistan can easily win this..this partnership has hurt Sri Lanka

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Only 8 runs of a poor mans Malinga. Pathetic

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Theekshana giving his all for his team

 

[Third Man]

Only 8 runs of a poor mans Malinga. Pathetic

Should he going for 15 runs every over?

 

[IMMY69]

It’s funny how the rizwan maniacs have found their voice again! Keep going, a losing cause it will be

Seems like you would rather see Pakistan lose then for Rizwan to be successful.

That's not really supporting your team is it?

I don't like Babar as a captain but I will always be hoping that he succeeds and that the team succeeds

 

[pakistanisgreat]

6 overs to go. But we are playing either dot or singles. I do not know what they are waiting for. May be last 5 overs?

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Should he going for 15 runs every over?

7 overs left so yes

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kusal Perera is decent but back after 2 years going to be tested

 

[castortroy]

Pitch looks very flat now

 

[Inswing]

Boundaries have dried up

 

[pakistanisgreat]

This poor from chancha.

 

[Nado_]

Rizwan is overrated but he’s not a rubbish batsman. Yes he’s over hyped but to say he’s totally rubbish is wrong.

 

[Nado_]

Chacha needs a big hit here to compensate dots

 

[castortroy]

Wow this pitch looks flat as ever now

 

[hitthestump]

At least wait for him to fail the next time

They’ve been waiting for years, and all Rizwan has done in that time is delivered slap after slap.

In all seriousness it’s very sad that we have so called Pakistan fans having tantrums because Rizwan is saving the game in a crunch match.

Hopefully they can reflect on this as their humiliation is easily avoidable.

 

[Firebat]

Commentators saying pitch will be better for batting 2nd innings. Wrong decision at the toss?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

5 of the over. This is unacceptable.

 

[MenInG]

So all the Riz hate brigade suddenly taking a snacks break?

@TheSultan @Rana

 

[IMMY69]

Yesterday England lost 7 wickets for 60 odd after they were 300 for 3 on a belter of a wicket

Yet some here expect these two to try and get 15 runs an over from three to four over ago with only 5 wickets in hand, most of whom are bunnies

 

[PakPremi]

It’s funny how the rizwan maniacs have found their voice again! Keep going, a losing cause it will be

Rizwan supporters never doubted him. It's like of you who was jumping on opportunity when he fails once or twice.

 

[castortroy]

Pak do have a weakend attack today

 

[pakistanisgreat]

finally Choka---------

 

[Firebat]

We would hit 250/260 if it went to 45 overs, which is what everyone was saying was perfect. So doing well still

 

[Inswing]

Wth chacha

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If Pakistan win this match , Babar should personally give MOTM to Kusal Mendis.

Missed a regulation stumping, didn't attempt a catch, wasted a review on nothing, didn't look to take review for a definite wicket.

Biggest match winner for Pakistan.

 

[hitthestump]

Rizwan supporters never doubted him. It's like of you who was jumping on opportunity when he fails once or twice.

There are no such things as Rizwan supporters.

There are only Pakistan fans.

I would support my team even if Umar Akmal plays an innings like this.

The Rizwan haters have been humiliated so many times they simply prefer him to fail over Pakistans success.

InshaAllah may they be guided.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Decent innings by Rizwan but needs to get another 20

 

[Firebat]

Keep it going lads to the last ball.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

can we get to 250?

 

[MenInG]

Watch this on repeat

[pakistanisgreat]

4 overs to go. Need to go for kill from here.

 

[TheSultan]

So all the Riz hate brigade suddenly taking a snacks break?

@TheSultan @Rana

I’m right here - not really impressive going at a run a ball ain’t impressive

 

[Nado_]

With teekshana injured will he come out to bat??

 

[PakPremi]

1. Not a tough wicket
2. Dropped twice

If youwatch enough cricket then you will notice batsmen get dropped a lot or survive lbws etc, that has no bearing on how you play rest of the inning. Pakistan dropped many chances too against India but in the end that does not matter. Easy wicket to bat even tail enders can score jere so SriLanka wll get it with 15 overs to spare I guess.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

They need to target this over.

 

[RyanRyan10]

They have demolished the bowlers after the rain break.

 

[shah9425]

Keep going on Rizwan

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lankan bowling is school boy level when the ball is not spinning.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan india final on cards now

 

[Nado_]

Class shot yaar

 

[Adi_62945]

Who was saying we cant play spin

 

[Marooned]

Great batting both of them.

 

[Ahmed216]

Whatttaaaplayer !!

 

[Champ_Pal]

260 on cards here.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

3 overs to go. Need to get to 250+ to get an chance on this batting paradise.

 

[Adi_62945]

Pakistan team have an incredible ways to surprise others and break the stereotype associated with them

 

[Asif321]

If pitch is flat we have only shaheen who can trouble .

 

[Energy]

Thank you Rizwan. Always believe in the right calibre of players.

 

[batandballbattle]

silly from theekshana to continue bowling after pulling his hammy
more for us though I guess

 

[GLORY OF '92]

These 2 have solidified their place in the WC team now. Great batting

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Riz should go for 100 here. Good chance for him to get it there.

 

[MenInG]

silly from theekshana to continue bowling after pulling his hammy
more for us though I guess

Why did the SL management allow it?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Wheels have completely come off of Lankan wagon.

 

[Nado_]

silly from theekshana to continue bowling after pulling his hammy
more for us though I guess

What position does he bat

 

[pakistanisgreat]

SL giving alot of extras today.

 

[IAJ]

The wicket has eased out. Could be easy run chase for SL here

 

[Marooned]

If pitch is flat we have only shaheen who can trouble .

So why were you saying we will make the final now? We have our problems

 

[Civil]

I’m right here - not really impressive going at a run a ball ain’t impressive

Sorry brother this is too much. There is no way you believe what you are typing? Win or lose today Rizwan performed in a tough pressure spot.

 

[Thanos]

Umpiring has been very poor so far.

 

[MenInG]

The wicket has eased out. Could be easy run chase for SL here

True and we dont have that strong a bowling but Zaman Khan - have high hopes for him

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need to get 15 in this over.

 

[TheSultan]

Should be a cruise for the Lankans this

 

[Firebat]

I’m right here - not really impressive going at a run a ball ain’t impressive

Watch the game with your eyes not the strike rate - he's turned the innings on its head when his side were in a precarious position on a tough pitch.

 

[Marooned]

Should try to hit everything into the stands from here on.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need two boundaries in this over.

 

[TheSultan]

This is the tail end of the innings - if they don’t go for it now - when will they

 

[pakistanisgreat]

no binderies so far. finally there is one

 

[Markhor]

If Pakistan win this match , Babar should personally give MOTM to Kusal Mendis.

Missed a regulation stumping, didn't attempt a catch, wasted a review on nothing, didn't look to take review for a definite wicket.

Biggest match winner for Pakistan.

Strange given they've an experienced keeper in Kusal Perera in the XI.

PAK have cashed in really well though on easier batting conditions since the restart. If pitches are like this in India, we can compete with anyone.

However when the conditions favour bowling, we need a more nuanced approach, proper batsmen in the top 5 (not T20 pinch-hitters like Haris) and not panic like we did earlier.

 

[Inswing]

Waaah chacha power

 

[Marooned]

Chacha fury

 

[TheSultan]

Fair play to chacha having to take all the risks here

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need to get to 260 from here. Common Rizi and ifti

 

[Asif321]

Ifti should be batting at 4

 

[Nado_]

What a six , I think Sanjay may have leaked something when he saw that loll chill out Sanjay bhai it wasn’t that big

 

[neonoir]

Come on boys push for 260!

 

[PakPremi]

Chacha needs a big hit here to compensate dots

Chacha tukh tukh aur chacha tha tha

 

[Nado_]

20 off the last two please

 

[Adi_62945]

I wonder why they keep iftikhar down. He should come at 4 or 5 ideay

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Chacha gona after playing good knock.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Rizwan looking to stay not out to bump his average
