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

[ExpressPacer]

Now Sri Lanka need a few Wahab overs at the death to crawl to 250... oh wait

With Hasan Ali still having plenty of overs in his bag, don't think it'll happen.

 

[shah_1]

WTH is the match not being shown?

 

[Macho Mann]

amir's 5 wide extras has done the trick for lanka here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should not let them score more than 260.

 

[Madplayer]

WTH is the match not being shown?

Some technical glitches.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

WTH is the match not being shown?

Same here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why isnt ptv showing?

 

[Syed1]

Really worried about the four overs that are left for Hafeez + Imad + Fahim. That could spell the difference between a 250 target or a 280 target.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Neither PTV nor Ten sports is showing the match

 

[Sam18696]

Transmission has been interrupted due to technical issues Hm...

 

[captain crook]

Junaid and Amir.. upholding Pakistan's legacy of fast bowling

 

[Speedster1]

Should not let them score more than 260.

260 a mile away. We need them within next 40 runs all out! We will inshAllah

 

[Stallion__]

Over rate is too slow

 

[Square Drive]

bro I appreciate Amir bhai's efforts, respect from another Indian fan

A couple of Pakistanis too.

You missed/killed the joke

 

[todfod 11]

the question is can pakistan chase 250??

 

[coy0607]

Neither PTV nor Ten sports is showing the match

i switched to Sky - they still have it

 

[ExpressPacer]

amir's 5 wide extras has done the trick for lanka here

Relax. It happens all the time.

 

[Magyar]

Rain...rain...

 

[captain crook]

Really worried about the four overs that are left for Hafeez + Imad + Fahim. That could spell the difference between a 250 target or a 280 target.

Need to wrap up even before that

 

[MMHS]

Hasan and faheem have 12 overs left between them.

4 of the next 7 by Hasan (Amir replaces JK). Next 6 by Hasan & MoHa/Imad - if still Lankans are batting, they deserve that comfort there after.

PAK has to come out of Misbah style thought process.

 

[mavericklegolas]

Why not promote Malik to 1st down .. he is your inning builder..

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

azhar ali look soo misfit in this color

 

[ExpressPacer]

Really worried about the four overs that are left for Hafeez + Imad + Fahim. That could spell the difference between a 250 target or a 280 target.

Pakistan should've been able to knock them out for less than 200 frankly. 160-7..

 

[BleedGreen]

someone tell me why is Azhar in the team again?

 

[Syed1]

Are we really behind over rate?? don't want us to qualify for semi only for Azhar or Hafeez to captain us against England

 

[Speedster1]

the question is can pakistan chase 250??

We shouldn't have to chase that much tbh snap the last 3 up soon

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pitch has life in it , dont think pakistan will chase anything above 200 successfully.

 

[Macho Mann]

azhar cannot bat cannot field and he is playing this crucial game as an opener

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

250? 260? SL looking unlikely to get to 220/

 

[coy0607]

Ramiz talking nonsense as usual.. "the attraction of bowling out the 50 overs for Pakistan"

this guy has no thought process before he speaks

 

[captain crook]

I'm worried.. can we chase on this pitch? Looks to have a lot in it for bowlers!

 

[DRsohail]

azhar misfields it..

 

[todfod 11]

azhar cannot bat cannot field and he is playing this crucial game as an opener

seriously this guy is a let down in fielding

 

[CricFan2012]

Pitch has life in it , dont think pakistan will chase anything above 200 successfully.

Sri Lankans have mediocre bowlers tbh, doubt they can exploit the pitch like Pakistanis

 

[Macho Mann]

imad wasim is spinning!!

strange, pitch changed

 

[JibranAnsari]

Are we really behind over rate?? don't want us to qualify for semi only for Azhar or Hafeez to captain us against England

Sarfrazs definitely going to miss out , 3 hour 4 minutes and we have bowled only 38. Should have bowled around 43 44 overs in this time.

 

[coy0607]

someone tell me why is Azhar in the team again?

this is Pakistan cricket - you can't play a match without 2-3 passengers

 

[Square Drive]

Imad improving his ER

 

[Executioner]

Can Lanka score 250?

Great performance from Amir and JK.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Not sure if bringing on Imad was an amazing decision. Had Gun been on strike, this would have been an extremely expensive over.

 

[Executioner]

Guys Lakmal can bat. Lakmal batted well against Miraz, Fizz, Shakib in a test match.

 

[Wowqar]

Just a few pages ago, the mood was very different. All of a sudden, Junaid and Amir are heroes again.

ka shotory ha?

 

[Syed1]

Pitch has life in it , dont think pakistan will chase anything above 200 successfully.

Oh man one thing is forever constant on PP, it is Jibby's wrist slitting.

 

[mavericklegolas]

Who is the backup wicketkeeper after Sarfaraj

 

[Taaya]

I hope that drop of Gunaratne doesnt come back to haunt us. He is a dangerous player.

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Wrist slitters have been clean bowled!!!

 

[pillionrider]

Lol nice try Sarfaraz

 

[darksher]

What the heck happened to live telecast, went missing for quite a few overs.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

have to give credit to captaincy of sarfraz for bringing back amir and junaid together to bowl in tandem in the middle overs and not taking a step back to stop after amir going for runs initially

 

[Syed1]

Who is the backup wicketkeeper after Sarfaraj

#Fly Akmal in

 

[CricFan2012]

Who is the backup wicketkeeper after Sarfaraj

no one I think

 

[Farhansk]

Guys Lakmal can bat. Lakmal batted well against Miraz, Fizz, Shakib in a test match.

He will not have a luxury to bat against those bowlers in this match.

 

[Taaya]

Who is the backup wicketkeeper after Sarfaraj

Rijwan.

 

[captain crook]

Guys Lakmal can bat. Lakmal batted well against Miraz, Fizz, Shakib in a test match.

Big difference in quality of bowling. He's not facing a mediocre attack today.

Lol nice try Sarfaraz

That was a really tough catch to be fair. i thought he did very well just to get hand on it. maybe if he was 5-10kgs lighter?

 

[shaz619]

someone tell me why is Azhar in the team again?

People like [MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] and myself are right in our observation that most wickets in England are generally flat but I thank team management for including Azhar in the squad because we should select him on a pay as you go basis, this Cardiff wicket is not easy to bat on and Azhar may prove to be useful here

 

[Macho Mann]

should really go for the kill here, dont know why pak has relaxed their nerves

 

[Syed1]

Right so last ten coming up. We should keep them below 250 and hope Azhar gets out early. Sure shot way of winning.

 

[Yatoo]

Isn't a match ban only after two offences in one year. Isn't this Sirfaraz's firstoffence ?

 

[Rayyman]

Pakistan have done well so far...

 

[imshally81]

What is chances of Sarfaraz suspension?

 

[Syed1]

Isn't a match ban only after two offences in one year. Isn't this Sirfaraz's firstoffence ?

Depends on severity of offense.

 

[JaDed]

Azhar will be needed today.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Right so last ten coming up. We should keep them below 250 and hope Azhar gets out early. Sure shot way of winning.

250 is still too high. We MUST get them under 220, even though it should've been 200.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Can pakistan escape poor over rate charge if we get them out in time?

 

[Wowqar]

Ideally, PAK needs to keep SL below 220. And that means they need wickets. If SL bat full fifty overs, they'll get to +250 easily.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Right so last ten coming up. We should keep them below 250 and hope Azhar gets out early. Sure shot way of winning.

That second part is key

 

[Syed1]

250 is still too high. We MUST get them under 220, even though it should've been 200.

Dost 220 is just 30 runs away, are you expecting them to lie down and surrender?

 

[imshally81]

Dropped?

 

[Magyar]

Man....even umpire is also on Pakistan's side

 

[todfod 11]

shoaib malik should ball some of his loopy offspiners now

 

[ExpressPacer]

Dost 220 is just 30 runs away, are you expecting them to lie down and surrender?

I know bro, but we aren't exactly bowling to Sanga, Jaya and Dilshan either.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[jnaveen1980]

On a slightly pacier pitch they are being exposed. Anything under 250 will be an easy chase with no drama.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Pakistan doing what Pakistan does best - throwing away the game after dominating it.

 

[Nasty Naz]

250 is still too high. We MUST get them under 220, even though it should've been 200.

lol if Pakistan can't chase 250 against Sri Lanka bowling attack, they should just bow out of the tourney now then.

 

[JibranAnsari]

There is no tail in any team these days apart from pakistans top order.

 

[JaDed]

why? do you want to put your kids to sleep?

Because of the pitch ,have a feeling if 2 wickets go in a jiffy ,he will stabilize it.

 

[Wowqar]

Lakmal wicket coming up.

 

[Magyar]

At least we're doing better than Zippy Saffers
