ICC CT 2017, Group B | Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 12th June, 2017 | Cardiff | Pakistan innings

[CricFan2012]

If Pakistan lose today then I'm slaughtering my favourite goat, Minnie.

 

[MMHS]

SL one wicket away from taking control of the match.

Pakistan still favorites as long as these two are around.

2 wickets actually - today Fahim is playing.

 

[super hitter]

We fans are secretly rooting for a thriller because our teams are already over the line and the only purpose of this match is to enjoy so why not have a last over/last wicket finish. No last over finishes in the CT yet.

I'd love to see a Bangla vs Pakistan final, the one in the Asia CUp was a memorable one

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Imagine if this same team had Sharjeel instead of Azhar and Haris instead of Hafeez.

Sharjeel has an obvious weakness when playing away from his body

 

[Magyar]

Slinga is on fire. Yorker after yorker

 

[Ankit007]

All the Bangla and Indian posters in Pakistan's favour but dil hi dil mein they are hoping for a full blown collapse

And why would they do so? I dont think anyone(Indians and Banglas) is supporting anyone here. Everyone is just enjoying cricket imo

 

[Aman]

Given our batting, We need 15 batsmen more than any other team does..

Eh, I know we're bad atm but I don't understand the false bravado from some Pakistanis... I'd still back us to beat Pakistan. There's no shame in losing to Bangladesh, they tend to play their best against us because they don't fear us.

 

[Stewie]

They need to counter attack. Field is in. Go over the top. Quick 30-40 runs and Sri Lanka will give up

 

[ToeCrusher2]

2 wickets actually - today Fahim is playing.

Too much confidence in a guy who averages 15 in domestic cricket

 

[JaDed]

Sharjeel has an obvious weakness when playing away from his body

Fakhar is opposite.

 

[F0ulu]

If Pakistan lose today then I'm slaughtering my favourite goat, Minnie.

Please dont

 

[Stewie]

Sada kuptaan jitaye ga match. I believe in sarfaraz.

 

[MMHS]

Too much confidence in a guy who averages 15 in domestic cricket

He is twice the batsman than MoHa & Azhar is now - PAK domestic is worse than @!@!*&^%$, young players are never given chance to perform. In recent PAK Cup, this MoHa was MoS, batting at 3 - on same wicket, against same opponents, put Fahim at 3, he'll average 48 @ 134 SR.

 

[super hitter]

They need to counter attack. Field is in. Go over the top. Quick 30-40 runs and Sri Lanka will give up

They're giving full length yorkers, hard to do that

 

[Zeshan547]

Sada kuptaan jitaye ga match. I believe in sarfaraz.

Par sarfraz tu hmaisha ke tarha aaj b "dhoka" de ga

 

[member250]

One of them need to score 60-70 runs for Pakistan to win.

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Malinga is bowling his heart out here. Might take out Skipper here.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Babar has been playing poorly so far

Welcome to playing outside UAE/Sharjah

 

[Pete Rose]

I am having to watch this because our batting is abysmal

 

[Stewie]

Malinga is looking like a dakait.. ishtihari mujrim....

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Pakistan making Malinga look good again.

inswinging yorkers one after another


Hes putting in everything

 

[JaDed]

I am having to watch this because our batting is abysmal

The very same reason I'm watching this as well,was about to switch off when Fakhar was smashing the trundlers.

 

[shah_1]

How does Sarfraz keep on bowling first when his team batting sucks so bad? Surely this idea will fail against England if we do win this match

 

[Executioner]

Malinga needs to stop bowling full and bowl a bouncer here

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

I am having to watch this because our batting is abysmal

SOO true lol

 

[F0ulu]

God Damnit

 

[imshally81]

 

[castortroy]

Game over

Pak brittle batting showing up once again

 

[shah_1]

Welcome to playing outside UAE/Sharjah

He scored a hundred in Australia

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Malik fails in the most important match of the year!

 

[Aman]

SL need Sarfraz to seal this.

 

[Sunzi]

Pak going home.

 

[Mir jibran]

over and out

 

[ex-q-zit]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] : I want Pak to reach the finale n play IND n repeat the performance of 1st match against Ind

 

[Imran Hasan]

poor Malik

 

[Ankit007]

Malinga needs to stop bowling full and bowl a bouncer here

He listens to you and gets a wicket

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Malinga needs to stop bowling full and bowl a bouncer here

not fazt enough

 

[Shaan]

Gone!! game is now getting interesting

 

[JaDed]

Brain freeze by Mian.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

And why would they do so? I dont think anyone(Indians and Banglas) is supporting anyone here. Everyone is just enjoying cricket imo

Well said brother aniket007, that was a bond like post.

 

[Pete Rose]

These are our experienced players. Who are supposed to see us though

 

[m.shah]

Match gone

 

[Arsal_AK]

That is the match.

 

[Barragan]

Malik with a stupid shot

 

[JibranAnsari]

match gone

 

[Zeshan547]

All wickets gifted and match gifted on a plater, their should be a chokers championship final between Pakistan and South Africa, it will be one for the ages.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good lord... extremely poor shot by Malik.

And Pakistan is now in deep, deep trouble.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Malik gone.. Never seen Malinga pumped up like this.. this wicket means a lot to him

 

[ToeCrusher2]

My dream is coming back to life again

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Awful.

 

[Vitaly]

Only Pakistani batting can do this

 

[castortroy]

When was the last time we chased a score down against a decent team?

 

[dauntless]

LOL chokers!!

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

SL need Sarfraz to seal this.

fahim?

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[desi_launda]

Slinga gets Damaad...131/5

 

[Magyar]

Oh....baby.........

Pakistan can start packing now

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Come on man such a simple low score!!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan will find it difficult now.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

fahim?

Don't forget Imad too

 

[castortroy]

Honestly even 180 and we would have lost 7-8

 

[dildilpak]

Just logged back after a meeting and already 5 wickets down.Trust our batsmen to bungle up what should have been an easy chase

 

[JibranAnsari]

its gonna be 150/8


91/1 to 131/5.

 

[New Yorker]

Babar has been playing poorly so far

Malik in a crunch match against pace. The Legend marches on.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

another chokers on green shirt...

 

[Pete Rose]

Nearly two decades each of cricket for malik and hafeez

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Imad Wasim - Mr. Cricket, the hussey of pakistan

 

[dauntless]

Here comes the definition of mediocrity

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Big Wicket!!!!

 

[Magyar]

Malinga needs to stop bowling full and bowl a bouncer here

Tnx for the tip bud

 

[JibranAnsari]

imad needs to show that he can bat

 

[Executioner]

He listens to you and gets a wicket

Yeah I am not sure I was asking for a back of a length delivery that says "help me down to fine leg"

 

[amax]

If Pakistan cant win this than they dont deserve to be near semi finalist

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

wicketshard to come by?

U ok Sanjay?

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Imagine if lanka had scored 280, this would have been a cakewalk, they were 160 for 3 after 30 overs

 

[castortroy]

Surely there must be better batters in pak than these

Our batting line up is worse than the likes of Bangladesh

 

[Ahonnoha]

Come one Sri Lanka

 

[KamranDestiny]

oh god!! Losing this match will be even more humiliatiing that the beating we took at the hands of India.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

If Pakistan cant win this than they dont deserve to be near semi finalist

yes I mean they owe it to bowlers too

and no bowling side can keep England under 280 so why bother

 

[shah_1]

Worst batting era

Shame on selectors, team management, and captain. We might not have the talent but surely there are better batsmen than Hafeez.
