[Ramsay]

Lol premium fast bowler

 

[chinaman00]

Three SIXs against Shaheen. Nothing bowler playing on reputation like many Pakistani players.

 

[shah9425]

Yesss I'm loving it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

76 off 29

This is how you bat

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

MENTAL batting my Shanaka....

 

[RexRex]

Spectacular hitting

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good riddance for Shaheen as well.

 

[Josh]

Oh my god ..Salman ne Shaheen ko bhi captaincy se farigh kar diya

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol I stopped watching after they crossed 147.. what happened.. what a crazy innings by captain..

 

[MSaad1237]

Haha what a joke !!!! Shaheen you loserrrrrrrrrr

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 off 1 now

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan win by 5 runs.

Great game.

 

[globetrotter]

Last ball was wide

 

[shah9425]

Shameless bast*

 

[Obaidd]

Pakistan win by 5 runs.

Great game.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Come on. Those were not wides. PCBICC at it again. So disappointing.

 

[saabir]

That was wide . Poor umpiring

 

[Josh]

How is that not a wide..PCBICC

 

[ads101]

Pakistan should learn from NZ to how to ball to these Lankan jokers

Am shell shocked how they came that close to winning. I cannot believe how bad we bowled and fielded.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Brutal thrashing hahaha

Shanaka vs Shaheen

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Historic win for Pakistan

 

[Smbhayi]

That's look likes wide delivery

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahahaha wide the diya ni.

Aye the 147 ke andar rokne match Harte Harte bache hai.

@Rana ye teri team hai ...ye tera premier bowler hai.

 

[Asif321]

What pathetic over form Shaheen

 

[JattMaula]

Saved by the ump.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Disgusting umpiring.

 

[MSaad1237]

comedy circus...!!

 

[sweep_shot]

 

[imshally81]

That was wide . Poor umpiring

Not a wide

 

[chinaman00]

Shaheen is honestly the favorite of opposition batsmen.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Am shell shocked how they came that close to winning. I cannot believe how bad we bowled and fielded.

This is how bad Pakistan is in reality

 

[saabir]

Shanaka is such a good guy. Any other batter would have contest this wide

 

[JaDed]

Wow turned on see atrocious umpiring.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Some Phuddu Keyboard Warriors here defended Agha as batsman and captain at length with symbolism of intentions and intents

Sab pani mai beh gya @Raja Ishtiaq

@Rana

 

[Sanzcool]

Not a wide

Please consult an eye doctor

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good riddance for Shanaka and Rathnayake as well. They played for their selfish knocks initially. Shanaka even was late to begin with.

Sri Lanka can do their bhangra with Jayasuriya and Malinga in the dugout now.

If Pakistan's management was poor in this tournament then Sri Lanka's was P Poor.

 

[mesmerizer85]

As i said....the oldies need to get booted out. 9 years without winning any major tournament !!!


Time for Babar to leave T20s with his mates shadab, shaheen, nawaz, agha, saim, etc

 

[globetrotter]

Come on. Those were not wides. PCBICC at it again. So disappointing.

This is a clear cut cheating last ball was clear wide....

Also ultrad edge was tampered diluelring smEng vs SA match

 

[BreadPakoda]

How is that not a wide..PCBICC

Utterly disgusted. What a mockery

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen is honestly the favorite of opposition batsmen.

He's hot property

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Not the first time Pakistan ending their WC campaign with Shaheen being hit for 3 sixes in a row in the last over

 

[shah9425]

This SL team was smashed by eng and NZ

Shows pathetic level of our jokers

 

[Banda298]

Pakistan win by 5 runs.

Great game.

Laanat hai. It was clear wide last ball . Daan mei mili win hai

 

[harshjoshi87]

It was a wide, umpire robs Sri Lanka of a certain victory.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Please consult an eye doctor

You should consult one. Umpire is standing there live and line belongs to him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dubious umpiring call saved Shaheen

 

[JaDed]

Not a wide

You got to be kidding bro

 

[Devadwal]

Mubaraka @Rana @The Bald Eagle @Major akhir ek match Jeet gye super -8 main 4 year ke bad wo bhi umpire ki vajah se.

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

This Pak win somehow feels like a painful defeat...

 

[IMMY69]

Is it bad that, in the end. I was quite disappointed that Lanka didn't win this game?

 

[Kianig89]

So we were below par with 212

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

They are playing dil dil pakistan

 

[Thephenom]

We should of got to at least 240, but batsmen came out and tried to be heroes by trying to smash it, instead of giving Farhan the strike!

 

[JaDed]

You should consult one. Umpire is standing there live and line belongs to him.

Everything belongs to the umpire in that logic..

 

[Aami]

Challo ... win at last, but as a middling side, finished in the middle.

 

[chakdeindian]

Seems both Pakistan and SL fixed for each other..

 

[globetrotter]

Umpires beat Srilanka by 5 runs

 

[IMMY69]

Wow turned on see atrocious umpiring.

That was definitely a wide

 

[saabir]

Not a wide

Line belongs to umpire. It was clearly outside

 

[Usman Chadda]

Am shell shocked how they came that close to winning. I cannot believe how bad we bowled and fielded.

Honestly I doubt the players wanted to be out there once 147 was reached. No surprise the intensity just dropped when Sri Lanka crossed that mark.

Terrible batting in the last five overs cost us the game.

 

[Azaad]

Saved by the umps - otherwise Hesson & co would've been brutalized if they lost this one

 

[LongHorn]

It was a wide, umpire robs Sri Lanka of a certain victory.

SL players and fans are pathetic , simping for new zealand, maybe they want to migrate there in future

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Agha and Nawaz plotting another coup

 

[JaDed]

That was definitely a wide

Terrible over .. they almost lost this.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Good riddance for Shanaka and Rathnayake as well. They played for their selfish knocks initially. Shanaka even was late to begin with.

Sri Lanka can do their bhangra with Jayasuriya and Malinga in the dugout now.

If Pakistan's management was poor in this tournament then Sri Lanka's was P Poor.

Are u kidding me ?

They nearly won.

Why are you pissed at Sri Lanka.

Take a **** at your team for letting Sri Lanka get to 200.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

I love Pakistan but gutted for Sri Lanka. There was nothing in it for Pakistan after 147 but much pride for the hosts.

There will be a usual clearing out for Pakistan, but the rot is not merely in the team, it is from the very top down.

It is a country whose every institution including cricket has been gutted out.

An embarrassment of a performance but blaming the players, themselves mowed down by a culture of suppression, will be the worst thing Pakistanis would do.

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

That umpire would have given it a wide against India....

 

[Zeshan547]

A win never felt so bad, it worse than a defeat ,but atleast it's have absolutely shown all the frauds in most brutal way , but still in our system of non accountability nothing major will change , rinse and repeat.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

WC is now all set up for India to lift it again at home infront of BJP

Sab maya hai :modi

 

[ads101]

Honestly I doubt the players wanted to be out there once 147 was reached. No surprise the intensity just dropped when Sri Lanka crossed that mark.

Terrible batting in the last five overs cost us the game.

Even before that we bowled and fielded rubbish. Sri Lanka were there for the taking today.

 

[globetrotter]

It was a wide, umpire robs Sri Lanka of a certain victory.

Thats a robbery in broad night lights.... PCBICC is responsible

 

[RidiculousMan]

This SL team was smashed by eng and NZ

Shows pathetic level of our jokers

Pakistan was going in the 2nd innings with 147 defending in mind. They would've planned differently in a normal game and would've won vs Sri Lanka.

This was not a normal game and Pakistan had to put their A cards up front and the last death overs were basically upto InShaAllah.

Nevermind still cause Pakistan still won.

Of course scrutiny will be done and actions have to be taken against dead weights in the team

 

[aqua99]

Tariq and Afridi

 

[rpant_gabba]

@The Bald Eagle hurry up create threads about t'rrow's game. poor blokes need something to sink their teeth into

 

[Snatch]

Santner is unpacking his bag

It was never packed

 

[Vikram1989]

Looks like victory for lanka and moral victory for pak.

 

[saabir]

Not the first time Pakistan ending their WC campaign with Shaheen being hit for 3 sixes in a row in the last over

Just one good match against NZ will kept his tag as a premium bowler. This is the standard of their cricket these days

 

[Cricfan8920]

Looks like Shanaka did not get the memo . Now Pakistani fans can relax and wish for a WI win tomorrow. Pakistani team can go home and watch rest of the games with a glass of Pakola in their hands.

 

[pillionrider]

Just about legal I guess.

Lots of Indians watching too

 

[IMMY69]

Line belongs to umpire. It was clearly outside

Yes and also it was from a left armer bowling over the wicket...

Definitely a wide
