ICC WT20| 1st Semi-Final | Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Colombo | 4/10/12 | SL Innings

[t_kaay]

The platform they had, they should have got to 155-160. We have done well in the last 5 overs guys. We can do this.

 

[amarmak]

UMAR GUL WILL BE THE REASON WHY PAKISTAN WILL LOOSE THIS WORLD CUP t-20.......

Can we block this guy and his ip pool so he doesnt bother with the same line again n again

 

[Love Pakistan]

Last over cost us 16 runs... Those 16 can be vital....

 

[MRSN]

Well bowled ...all down to our batting now..well let's see how they respond.

 

[P4K1 #1]

140 to win.. nazir and hafeez need to get us off to a good start! Inshallah pakistan can do it

 

[mithun_minhas]

Good last over, but over all pathetic effort from Lanka.

Pak should be happy with their effort.

140 is gettable of one of their top batsman score a quick fire 50.

 

[asif9138]

game is on!

 

[crikket fan]

3-0-26-1

GUL'

Razzak wuld have bowled better

 

[JibranAnsari]

Gul bowled well , no short delivery in the last over. one was edge and two shots were really well played.

 

[Sledger]

Will be a nervy chase. Pakistani batsmen have the pressure of runs on the board to deal with.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

still pak fav - interesting to see the first 5 pak overs

 

[asif9138]

need to go easy!

 

[Cricketismylife]

Sri Lanka will think they are 10 short.

Pak will think they are chasing extra 10 -outside their comfort level.

chasable score by any standard.

 

[OmaIR1]

Good target... it will be a tough chase but Pakistan can do it..

 

[Sledger]

Gul bowled well , no short delivery in the last over. one was edge and two shots were really well played.

True but don't expect PPers to realise this. Gul's best bowling of the tournament so far.

 

[PTI tsunami]

Abit of dew falling

 

[Strike!]

What the hell was Hafeez thinking having mid off up at the end.

 

[Sledger]

btw Gul saying there's dew. That will be brilliant for Pakistan if true.

 

[cricwiz]

Abit of dew falling

can turn hugely in favor of Pakistan.... inshAllah

 

[mithun_minhas]

looks like a nice bloke when he speaks.

I guess he is a great team mate to have.

 

[dhump]

should have been 10 less.

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan would have taken 140 at the start of play. They just need to hold their nerve in a run chase.

 

[asif9138]

gul is satisfy!

 

[t_kaay]

Nazir should get us off to a good start, he prefers flaying the quicks

 

[BHM :D]

Gul bowled very well masha'Allah even with the last over because there was an edge and two good shots, you have to expect them to score some runs. Odds even, Insha'Allah there will be lots of due to help us.

 

[saeedhk]

The last over could be the difference.

 

[t_kaay]

Pakistan would have taken 140 at the start of play. They just need to hold their nerve in a run chase.

Agreed, Hafeez will be suited to this chase, pace the innings, play out 20 overs and this is our game

 

[saeedhk]

Very tough chase.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I am backing nazir for a quickfire 50 today

 

[LegendAli]

Gul bowled very well masha'Allah even with the last over because there was an edge and two good shots, you have to expect them to score some runs. Odds even, Insha'Allah there will be lots of due to help us.

This.

Amazing performance by Gul.

 

[hopelessbiscuit]

It will be sad if Sri Lanka go through...they dont deserve it..most boring team among the semi finalists..Pakistan should just play Malinga cautiously..and should be easy task..

 

[qamar84]

can someone block the guy with the line about gul in red i think it's "cricket fan"

 

[t_kaay]

It will be sad if Sri Lanka go through...they dont deserve it..most boring team among the semi finalists..Pakistan should just play Malinga cautiously..and should be easy task..

Agree with most of your points but I can't see nazir talking malinga cautiously.....will try to smack every ball....if he comes off, it will make things easy for us

 

[Square Drive]

InshaAllah we will win this. :nj :kami :umarakmal

 

[talha3]

How a quickfire 20+ from Nazir would help today

 

[Sledger]

Openers are here.

 

[hopelessbiscuit]

Sri Lanka is the only hurdle for Pakistan..they will be more than a match for Australia or Windies..with these pitches and the riches of bowling they have.. and seems this hurdle has been contained so far..now off to batsmen..

 

[asif9138]

soon traget comes below 100! things will be fine!

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan should chase this target.

 

[Sledger]

Big delay here.

 

[asif9138]

Sri Lankans already looking demoralized..
