Pakistan (212/8) crash out of T20 World Cup 2026 after a narrow 5-run consolation win against Sri Lanka (207/6) in their last Super Eight clash

[batandballbattle]

game over, needed 220 minimum

 

[Kianig89]

I think SL got turned on after 15th over

 

[Major]

should be a no ball

 

[hamzie]

No ball plssss

 

[saabir]

Great comeback by Lankans ..Fakhar wicket have totally exposed pakistan non existing middle order

 

[IAJ]

4 by shaheen

 

[shah9425]

Shaheen at least score some runs

 

[CricVet]

is this a no ball under review?

 

[Kianig89]

Finally the yawning SL Pak games which tortured whole season will come to end

 

[imshally81]

4444

 

[JaDed]

What are you bowling bro.. doesn’t seem like a noball..

 

[Major]

i like how the waist height is calculated now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

From what should've been 230-250, Pak barely mamage 210

 

[ads101]

It’s alright we all knew this batting line up would fold after the openers got out. But it has been great for us that both openers lasted near the entire match.

This is more than enough to make a game with. I think hope of Sri Lanka win is gone, so that should play into our hands even more.

 

[hamzie]

I can't believe we threw our golden chance

 

[Major]

3 balls left. we need 2 sixes man.

 

[JattMaula]

Rameez just called 25cm marginal!

How big is he used to?

 

[shah9425]

Completely lost the plot

 

[castortroy]

Pak have basically gone into this game with 2 recognised batters.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

b

Got s
Got shadab out
Wasted a ball in 18th over too

because he wanted strike , he got Shadab out

 

[hassan918]

should be a no ball

it was close but it wasn't a no ball.

 

[Devadwal]

i like how the waist height is calculated now.

Technology copy from the IPL.

 

[CricVet]

OUT under review. Is there a snick? NOPE...

 

[Asif321]

Should have easily got 220 - as usual fake ARs mess up

 

[psyoptica]

pakistan crashing out would be good for the tournament. Can’t have a team in the semi final with just 2 batsmen.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shaheen is out LBW.

207/7 (19.3 overs).

 

[m.shah]

There is a collapse in every inning for Pakistan

 

[Savak]

Excellent defensive bowling by Sri Lanka at the death.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Will they be able to bowl out SL for 130?

 

[castortroy]

Salman, Usman, Shadab, Nawaz

None of these are genuine batters.

 

[Major]

210 is a good safety margin, not bad, but 220 would had been alittle better

 

[batandballbattle]

never too far from a collapse even with that kind of start

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are effectively at 144/7 because they have to win by 64 runs to qualify.

 

[imshally81]

Naseem in

 

[Azzurri]

Do you guys remember the Asia cup fina?

 

[JaDed]

pakistan crashing out would be good for the tournament. Can’t have a team in the semi final with just 2 batsmen.

That's fine bro.. two are more than enough if SSA , Tarique , Abrar and Naseem can bowl

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Naseem wanted to face the last ball

 

[sweep_shot]

Run-out. Naseem departs.

Final ball.

 

[IAJ]

There were 3 runs there

 

[Major]

DUMB IDIOT Usman, he dint run the thrid for his own strike

 

[shah9425]

Pathetic

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

Pakistan and SL outdoing themselves in trying to prove who is more inept.....- a misfielding resulting in a comical run out.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Hahahaha

 

[CricVet]

USman the clown - stupid guy

 

[Major]

There were 3 runs there

Usman wanted to keep strike. Watch him dot the last ball

 

[castortroy]

Pak should have scored 230 minimum from the start but when you go in with 2 recognised batters, this was always going to happen

 

[shah9425]

DUMB IDIOT Usman, he dint run the thrid for his own strike

Clown he is

 

[hamzie]

This is such a sad end guys

 

[MSaad1237]

Very selfish from Usman Khan. It was a easy 3 there.

 

[Josh]

Lol Pakistan returning to their normal self at the death

 

[Rana]

This is where our lack of innovation is hurting us

Sri Lanka expertly bowling to a field plan and Pakistan haven’t countered

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Had Fakhar and Farhan not had their runs, this team would've folded for 150

 

[Obaidd]

Agha tried to hide but got exposed

 

[jnaveen1980]

Going by the script SL will collapse massively.

 

[Major]

There was a clear third run.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

SL all out 101

 

[topspin]

What a bottle job by Pakistan

 

[pillionrider]

Man that misfield was so bad But Pak batsmen were even worse

 

[YousafTheBeast]

If you squint your eyes, 210 looks like 240

 

[ads101]

Pak should have scored 230 minimum from the start but when you go in with 2 recognised batters, this was always going to happen

If we’d lost one wicket early game was over. Can’t really complain this is a very good total and we would have taken it gladly before the start of the match. Time for the bowlers to do their job now.

 

[IAJ]

Lovely lol

 

[Hyder]

This team just can’t hit freely no matter what kind of platform you give them

Shadab run out and mess up was a bit of farhans fault as he started looking for century and in turn wasted whole 19th over. And nawaz and agha and usman being as pathetic as they are didnt help either

 

[Fast bowler6929]

It seems like Sri Lankan players don't care about their country's revenue. LOL

 

[CricVet]

I would give strike to Naseem any day over this clown on the last ball. What an idiot full of himself

 

[Deewana Mastana]

212 in the end

Need to defend 147

 

[castortroy]

What a bottle job by Pakistan

They only had 2 batters in the line up

 

[Kianig89]

Pear shape it has gone , let's hope SSA bowls a wicket maiden to start with

 

[mrtaim3]

No single worldcup without the is frame of **** players on one end

 

[prash88]

Congrats Pakistan for qualifying for semis....

 

[Major]

147 is the target

 

[Hyder]

Usman khan to balla b nai ghomata bhai

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan finish at 212/8 after 20 overs.

SL need 213 to win.

Pakistan need to bowl SL out for 147 or less to qualify.

 

[batandballbattle]

only get this kind of comedy with PCT

 

[IAJ]

So need to defend som 147

 

[shah9425]

Short by at least 20 runs

 

[pillionrider]

Man that misfield was so bad But Pak batsmen were even worse

 

[JaDed]

212 is still good , Kiwis need Lanka to make 148

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

DUMB IDIOT Usman, he dint run the thrid for his own strike

Thats what farhan did on 17.6 he wanted Strike for his 100 and got shadab out

 

[Sherazkhalid]

as usual nothing after the openers.

 

[shah9425]

Very difficult to defend 147
