[jnaveen1980]

big man is not playing lol He is not a big man

 

[shah9425]

Hahaha zimbu is crying from inside it seems.

He deserved it

 

[IAJ]

'The big man is not playing' Wasim referring to Babar Azam, uth oye

 

[jnaveen1980]

Road wicket

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Chameera is the best bowler from srilankan side here.
Pakistan should be wary of him.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pak batting looks very thin on paper. Too many bowlers in the side.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Farhan takes time to get going. He wastes lots of deliveries.

 

[shah9425]

Nice shot

 

[RexRex]

Do something yaar.

 

[batandballbattle]

freebie missed out on

 

[IAJ]

Poor ball, 4 by nawabzada sahibzada

 

[ads101]

Pak batting looks very thin on paper. Too many bowlers in the side.

To be fair if Farhan and fakhar both get out early we have no chance anyway. We have to rely on one or both staying for most of the innings.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Farhan needs to play innings of his life here

 

[Champ_Pal]

So far a brilliant batting wicket. Let’s see if it offers any spin.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Someone tell these two we need 60-70 in the power play, what’s this nudging around crap?

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am waiting for collapse

 

[Major]

Could someone set up a Bingo game here. Wasim Akram commentary bingo as i saw the pic above. Everyone gets a different card, winner gets a prize. Better than any fantasy competation that pp has

[Rajdeep]

C'mmon ek wicket ki baat hai....

Oops sorry...forgot that I am supporting Pak today

 

[IAJ]

I am waiting for collapse

It wil come in the secong innings, IA

 

[mrtaim3]

[hamzie]

No misfields yet, don't think there's any hidden deal under the table

Farhan is right there though

 

[shah9425]

Nice shot

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

He will not be axed unfortunately

already have 70 Games in 2.5 years. Most of Pak players dnt get that many. wonder why our board pampers him so much

 

[JaDed]

Four good shot, good use of feet

 

[IAJ]

Another 4

 

[ads101]

Good start so far.

 

[IAJ]

Malinga loves his biriyaanis

 

[AZulfi]

Regardless of the result today, Pak have finally selected the right XI

Opening with Farhan and Fakhar

Dropping Babar (does not belong in this format) and Saim (woefully out of form with the bat)

Picking Nafay, Abrar and Naseem Shah

the right call.

 

[shah9425]

Nice six

LIVE WATCH-ALONG: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka – The NRR Mission Begins! vs

Fellow Pashtoons, the scenario is set. The math is daunting. But as the discussion in this thread proves, hope (and anxiety) dies hard.

We all know the equation: Win big (approx. +65 runs) or chase inside 13 overs. Can this Pakistan side, which has struggled for momentum, finally fire as a unit? Will we see the aggressive intent with the bat that this situation demands, or will the familiar caution creep in?

Forget the calculators for a while—join us LIVE on PakPassion YouTube right now! We're doing a full watch-along of this massive Super Eight clash from Kandy.

We'll be reacting to every ball, dissecting the team combination (drop Babar? open with Fakhar? ), and feeling the tension with you in real-time. If you're in this thread stressing about the NRR, come stress with us on the stream!

WATCH LIVE HERE:

See you there for the chaos! Insha'Allah.

Lol a srilankan girl holding Pakistan's flag. I guess she is some kind of business owner who wants Pakistan to win today.

 

[JaDed]

Sixx, too much room being given

 

[Major]

[globetrotter]

Srilanka sacrificing victory over holding semis

Dropping Babar will boomerang on Pakistan

[Champ_Pal]

Farhan needs to play innings of his life here

He seems to be in great form.

 

[ads101]

Nice. Keep the run rate around 10 or above and we win this.

 

[JattMaula]

Evening PPs!


Exiting match!

Where is Saim?

And why is King Big Bobby B is rested?

 

[IAJ]

Good shot but straight to fielder

 

[batandballbattle]

farhan sponsored by moltyfoam

 

[RexRex]

This Farhan has the shots.

 

[Josh]

Laghu Shanka giving good opportunities

 

[ads101]

Lol a srilankan girl holding Pakistan's flag. I guess she is some kind of business owner who wants Pakistan to win today.

Maybe she has a good heart. She knows Sri Lanka win won’t matter much, but would mean a lot for Pakistan.

 

[AAli98]

BCCI agents visited Lanka dressing room they would do anything for a Ind pak final

 

[IAJ]

Two good shots for nothing there, koi bat nahi farhan

 

[JaDed]

Evening PPs!


Exiting match!

Where is Saim?

And why is King Big Bobby B is rested?

Ll be back for semis, rested for super 8

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Farhan does miss some hit me balls but he is the best Pakistan has to offer.

 

[Kianig89]

Utilising the resources finally ,let's hope it's not late

 

[Rana]

Farhan middling everything to fielders

 

[shah9425]

Farhan please less dots

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Farhan plays one big shot and flurry of dots follow..

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Maybe she has a good heart. She knows Sri Lanka win won’t matter much, but would mean a lot for Pakistan.

Yeah I was just kidding. LOL

 

[ads101]

An they recovered well thought we were getting more than 10 runs that over

 

[Usman Chadda]

Farhan what an absolute joke of an innings so far

 

[Champ_Pal]

Too many dot balls.

Six/Four/Dotball

 

[jnaveen1980]

BCCI agents visited Lanka dressing room they would do anything for a Ind pak final

Obviously lol In case if India makes it to final Pakistan will be the easiest opponent by some distance

 

[globetrotter]

Pressure put by srilanka cricket board clearly showing on Lankan bowlers

 

[JaDed]

Pakistan should start playing league before the tournament that way they will get the perfect 11 before the must win game

 

[IAJ]

Beautiful bird

 

[RehanG]

4*6***

Shoudlve been
4*6121

 

[batandballbattle]

still has issues with strike rotation despite being a good boundary hitter

 

[Major]

theekshana, really difficult spinner

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

So time to play this game without anchor ? @Raja Ishtiaq

Our players should be wearing black armbands

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Hopefully fakhar doesn't give his wicket to this theekshana

 

[Markhor]

Feels like its Farhan or bust.

Two boundaries and nothing else is infuriating. We cannot afford all these dots in the PP !

 

[Rana]

will Zimbu come out to run drinks?

That’s the ultimate humiliation apparently according to Pakistan fans

 

[ads101]

Ugh things are stalling

 

[IAJ]

too many dot balls here

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Farhan what an absolute joke of an innings so far

lol you cant have high strike rate without playing aerial Shots. Look at Tilak against Zim. he came out and smashed 42 off 16

 

[shah9425]

Shot

 

[IAJ]

Brute force and 4

 

[Usman Chadda]
