250 on cards here...... they need 49 from last 7 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

213 / 7 after 45 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

240 is very much on, a few big hits 250 still possible.

 

[Random Aussie]

Not enough runs

 

[hhhhdmt]

sri lanka will likely win unless Lee plays a magical match.

 

[Justcrazy]

The match starts.....

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 :byes

 

[Justcrazy]

Plenty of overs here.... SL need a solid start rather than flashy one.

 

[Justcrazy]

8 / 0 | 1 over

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

23 / 1 after 3

 

[James]

A beautiful straight drive from Sangakarra against Lee at high pace. What a player.

What have the Aussies been doing in this series? Apart from a couple of matches against India they have been abysmal. A chase of 4.5 runs an over at Adelaide ought to be straightforward unless Sri Lanka bat just as poorly. Edit: and they currently are doing...

 

[Justcrazy]

40 / 1 | 5 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Looks as if SL will take it on in the first 10 overs and bring down the Required RR.

 

[Justcrazy]

two class players out there.....

 

[Justcrazy]

43 / 1 after 6 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Watson strikes

 

[smoothcriminal]

The cost of playing aggressive with the new ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies also chipping away now

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need a 50 plus partnership here.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia on here

 

[Justcrazy]

SL in trouble now.

 

[Justcrazy]

A partnership is required here

 

[Fawad2010]

SL in trouble!

Go on Aussies!

 

[Justcrazy]

53 / 3

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

SL loosing the plot here

 

[DW44]

SL losing. Chhoti chhoti khushyaan..

 

[Love Pakistan]

So Lankans chocking in the final! What a moment!

 

[Justcrazy]

57 / 4 after 11 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

60 / 4 | 13 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

PP here.

 

[Justcrazy]

71 / 4 | 16 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need to rotate the strike here.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

84 / 4

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 145 runs with 6 wickets and 30.0 overs remaining

 

[James]

Run rate is absolutely fine, just the wickets. Could be a good finish.

 

[Justcrazy]

93 / 4

 

[Fawad2010]

just a couple more wickets plz....

 

[Justcrazy]

102 / 4 | 23 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

The match is getting interesting now.

 

[James]

Love it how the Channel 9 commentators always have to plug poxy programmes that are on after the cricket. Bet they hate every second of it

 

[Justcrazy]

50 runs partnership

 

[Justcrazy]

109 / 4 | 25 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

This is going to get real tight.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 120 runs with 6 wickets and 24.0 overs remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Watson strikes.

 

[Justcrazy]

Big blow for SL here

 

[Justcrazy]

Watson is the man with golden arm, always breaks partnerships.

 

[James]

It was only Thirimanne

115 off 130 with 5 wickets in hand

Cracker!

 

[Justcrazy]

No team has gone on to win the third final after winning the second

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good to see a competative and tight 3rd final. Have to say all the way through this tri-series every game has been pretty competative.

One of reasons tri-series was got rid of was because at times it was becoming lopsided.

This one has been probably one of the best ones for a while.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[James]

Safely in, but need to be careful with the running.

'mon the lads.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 109 runs with 5 wickets and 20.0 overs remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

This match will go to wire, the target is okay, the pressure of Final is overwhelming.

 

[James]

Four.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 98 runs with 5 wickets and 18 overs remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 98 runs with 5 wickets and 17.0 overs remaining

 

[James]

35-40 over batting powerplay could decide the game as it often does.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sri lanka have a lot of handy lower order batsmen so aslong as they keep their heads they should win this here!

 

[Justcrazy]

SL must make PP count here

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Thats out .. and that should be the game....

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

That is game now...... Australia in control

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Still 82 runs required.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 77 runs with 4 wickets and 13.0 overs remaining

 

[Dr_Bassim]

My bad

Must be confusing Pakistani tail with Sri Lankan tail

Game still on ...
