[explayer]

Win predictor 45 sri 55 pak. Lmao fools

 

[Madplayer]

Win prediction says 55% for pak. How come??

Probably malfunctioning.

 

[roshanrocks]

Win prediction says 55% for pak. How come??

Rrr is low that's y

 

[member250]

Win prediction says 55% for pak. How come??

win predictor doesn't take in to account batting line up lol

 

[explayer]

Under 60 now. Keep calm and carry on

 

[Ankit007]

Just imagine how good position was when fakhar left of Pakistan that till now as well they have a run rate of 5. They have absolutely themselves to blame for bottling it from there. Still nothing is lost.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Need Yorker to Amir. Why Malinga not bowling. Pathetic.

 

[Sunzi]

Over throws!

 

[imshally81]

Lucky

 

[Madplayer]

5 overthrows

 

[hur rizvi]

Pakistan are the official favourites according to the markets.

I don't think so, but it's a close match here. No run rate pressure and 3 out of the 4 Pakistanis know how to bat.

MArkets must have issues in upper portions of their head

My pred: Pakistan won't get with in 20 runs of the target

 

[Saurav]

Pak favorites now

 

[explayer]

Yes 5 haha

 

[surg]

Sri lanka loosing it. needless throw

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Pathetic fielding

 

[Mast Kalandar]

Even if we do win and go through, England must be licking their lips now

 

[Madplayer]

Wideeee

 

[imshally81]

 

[Square Drive]

Yes!

 

[Aman]

Pakistan still in this.

50 isn't much to chase and the others can chip in 10 or so runs each.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Ok the target is getting smaller and smaller now

 

[JaDed]

lol overthrow

 

[roshanrocks]

MArkets must have issues in upper portions of their head

My pred: Pakistan won't get with in 20 runs of the target

Pakistan will win .... sarfaraz is determined.

 

[Mast Kalandar]

Fans cheering a wide, sums it all up

 

[KingKhanWC]

Poor from Matthews trying to take it to the last over :

Poor throwing too

 

[Aman]

Even if we do win and go through, England must be licking their lips now

This is why I want SL to qualify, IMO they'll give England more of a fight.

 

[Square Drive]

Alhamdulillah!!!

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan still in this.

50 isn't much to chase and the others can chip in 10 or so runs each.

Don't confuse your tail with ours - at least your bowlers can smash a few.

We're lucky to get a collective 15 from ours.

 

[MMHS]

Win prediction says 55% for pak. How come??

The match par is 300, so, when you put it in spread sheet, computer will analyze 60 in 15 overs in favor of chasing side.

This is rubbish calculation - last time Poms were chasing 306 & they were 161/1 after 29 - prediction was 75% for BD. Because computer didn't consider that Oval's par has changed from 225 to 325 in 2 years time, compared to previous 35 years

 

[surg]

Both players showing great determination and composure

 

[JaDed]

Most interesting game of the tournament.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Win prediction says 55% for pak. How come??

Betting markets agree.

55 is just not a lot of runs and one partnership auto-loses it for Srilanka.

 

[Madplayer]

This is why I want SL to qualify, IMO they'll give England more of a fight.

Only Pak has the ability and madness to surprise england. Srilankan methods wont work.

 

[wmuhammad63]

In Sha Allah Pakistan will win this match and play the semi final on Wednesday. Let's go and do this Pakistan ����

 

[Fire Bird]

Pakistan will win by 1 wkt. Old Pak fans must stay away from watching this game

 

[Syed1]

Malinga has three overs left. If I was captain I would bowl them out now. IF I was Sarfaraz I would make sure I play atleast 13-15 off those balls.

 

[amvbfm]

But but aggression.

Yeah exactly! I mean yes it's 'modern one day cricket' but look at what you are chasing. I have been constantly defending Azhar in the other threads not because he is good as an opener but because he is alright in context of what we have been chasing. The others threw it alway when all they needed was to bat the overs. We were 74 in 11 and yet people here were criticizing Azhar's innings. He should be blamed for playing a poor shot but not for batting slowly. The real sin today was loose shots and casual attitude.

 

[roshanrocks]

Don't give Mathews ideas...let him bowl the pie bowlers

 

[member250]

Pakistan need to get to 200 quickly, pressure will be back on SL.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

only 50 runs to get, Pakistan on top here

 

[imshally81]

Great shot for 3 runs..

 

[Syed1]

Last over for Pradeep

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Cricviz thinks this is Pakistan 65%

Market thinks it's about 60-40 to Pakistan.

Predictor isn't very wrong, and I think pakistan now clear favourites.

 

[captain.hansolo]

pakistan still in it...

 

[IndYeah1]

Even if Pak wins, which I think they will, just not enough runs to defend, what a shambolic batting performance.

 

[saqibjamil]

Pak should just play out this over. Pradeep's been the most dangerous.

 

[Square Drive]

Three more, shaba!

 

[CricketAnalyst]

pakistan still in it...

Now winning it IMO

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Probably malfunctioning.

Yeah, the match is done, congrats pakistan, 100% victory for pak now

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pradeep has been the most dangerous, last over kiddo.

 

[Markhor]

Amir has more guts and balls than Hafeez, Shehzad, Malik and Imad combined.

 

[zulfiqar]

Haha hilarious batting. Overthrows & wides from SL, street-smart cricket from Sarfaraz/Amir

 

[zn426]

Sarfraz needs to stay to the end if we're going to win this. Amir is clearly putting some value in his wicket where Ashraf did not. Unfortunately need some boundaries to make up for the dry spells of batting with the tail.

 

[Syed1]

Amir has more guts and balls than Hafeez, Malik and Imad combined.

Funny you didnt mention Azhar.

 

[amvbfm]

This is not targeting you but

so only for Azhar ali batting out the overs is wrong?

I've been supporting Azhar all along. His innings would've been bad had we been chasing more than 300 but in the context of the game it was alright, his dismissal was poor though.

 

[Aman]

Don't confuse your tail with ours - at least your bowlers can smash a few.

We're lucky to get a collective 15 from ours.

LOL our batting after Kane is 70/7 )

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Worth noting there are very few overs of the best wicket-taking bowlers left.

 

[amax]

under 50

 

[Markhor]

Cricviz thinks this is Pakistan 65%

Market thinks it's about 60-40 to Pakistan.

Predictor isn't very wrong, and I think pakistan now clear favourites.

Malinga and Lakmal still have overs in the bank, SL are favourites.

 

[roshanrocks]

Sri Lanka players getting Julaab due to tension

 

[Sunzi]

Alhamdulillah!!!

LOL!

I feel that bro!

 

[Markhor]

Funny you didnt mention Azhar.

Azhar at least has a Test record to speak of unlike those other three frauds.

He has guts but not the variety of strokeplay needed for ODIs.

 

[JaDed]

Momentum has shifted and its visible,should just go with the flow.

 

[saqibjamil]

Exactly.

Predictor cant predict the Pakistani unpredictability

 

[imshally81]

 

[Madplayer]

Malinga and Lakmal still have overs in the bank, SL are favourites.

 

[MMHS]

Hasan's list A highest is 34*, so obviously he can hold bat. Amir will be 20 average batsman after a season in County, therefore I think if PAK bats through 48 overs, should win here.

 

[Aman]

SL need a wicket soon or it's over.

 

[roshanrocks]

Mathews is keeping malinga for next tournament.

 

[Farhansk]

Top shot from the skipper.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Amir is doing a solid job. All he needs to do is simply defend, get the odd single and let Sarfraz do the heavy lifting. Game is pretty much on whether Sarfraz survives or not.

 

[Nostalgic]

The sadomasochist in me wants us to remain not out but a few runs short at the end of 50 overs.

 

[saqibjamil]

Alhumdulillah

 

[WC-Passion]

Shadhab is seriously much better than Imad and he's about 10 years younger.

 

[zn426]

Malinga and Lakmal still have overs in the bank, SL are favourites.

8 of remaining 13 overs will be bowled against pace. Need to bat well and actually hit them for something.

 

[Square Drive]

YES BOIIIIIIIIIIIISssssssssssss

 

[Madplayer]

Micky reciting durood

 

[Syed1]

Mathews is keeping malinga for next tournament.

) that's hilarious

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Sarfraz playing solidly under pressure.
