Pakistan crash out of the Asia Cup: Sri Lanka (252/8) beat Pakistan (252/7) (DLS) by 2 wickets

[pakistanisgreat]

Someone tell Shaheen to stop diving around

It does not matter.

 

[Justcrazy]

Who would you have drafted in with Rauf & Naseem injured?

The issue is when Pakistan were playing weaker teams , why they did not rotate the bowlers and give chance to younger , new players ? If you keep playing same fast bowlers in all games , you will never develop other players.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

I believe Babar bowls better than Shadab

 

[castortroy]

Lol. In the world of Peter Pan? Maybe. You need high quality cricketers throughout the XI and 4 more in the squad.

Bumrah and Kuldeep will be very hard to play, especially in India. Can only see Australia challenging India

 

[Devadwal]

That's six has killed the Pakistan hope

 

[MenInG]

6, done and dusted

Sad end really

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Gem of a innings by mendis, full in control

 

[Champ_Pal]

Mendis does not like to take the match deep.

Because we had a weak and insecure captain. If he lose he will lose his captaincy also

 

[MenInG]

One over too many for iftikhar

Everyone else has messed up so he is doing what he can

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Medicore list:

Fakhar
Haris
Nawaz
M Wasim
Zaman Khan
Shadab
Imam
Agha
Faheem Ashraf
Tayyab Tahir (how did he even make it into the squad?)

Basically the entire squad

 

[Cric1234]

In the past there was always a chance of an unlikely collapse with Afridi and Ajmal in the team currently we have Shadab and Nawaz....

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shadab to continue from dosti club end

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Lol. In the world of Peter Pan? Maybe. You need high quality cricketers throughout the XI and 4 more in the squad.

You have best team. It is a dream to beat india in india. India is the one who start the win as a host the world cup. This is the time for India to win and great Kholi to retire with dignity.

 

[Devadwal]

Shadab again ?

 

[castortroy]

Think Srilanka will give India a good game in the final

 

[7sins]

Because we had a weak and insecure captain. If he lose he will lose his captaincy also

Another issue it teams like nz wi Australia eng never send there playing 11 for the tour of pak they test bunch strength where as we don't do that at all

 

[TheSultan]

Of all the bowlers - shadab bowling 8? Seriously?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Got to say, Srilanka are a dangerous team when their full strength bowling comes back. They can easily make it to Semis in WC.

 

[Asad T]

The issue is when Pakistan were playing weaker teams , why they did not rotate the bowlers and give chance to younger , new players ? If you keep playing same fast bowlers in all games , you will never develop other players.

I think it's because we have a WC coming up soon, so they wanted to figure out their best xi from now

 

[castortroy]

You have best team. It is a dream to beat india in india. India is the one who start the win as a host the world cup. This is the time for India to win and great Kholi to retire with dignity.

India batting line up in those conditions will be virtually impossible to stop, especially in the longer format.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Think Srilanka will give India a good game in the final

They are favorites.

 

[Fazzy321]

Spinners from both ends at this point. amazing

 

[Ali Active]

42 of 42 can we still hope

 

[Rana]

Again Asalanka bringing Pakistan back in it

 

[Asif321]

Really impressed by srilanka

 

[Justcrazy]

Run a ball required now .

 

[Devadwal]

Last 2 over from shadab was brilliant .

 

[AAli98]

Couldn’t string decent 12 deliveries in a row in the entire innings pathetic stuff

 

[Josh]

Definitely not a good performance with the ball.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Akshar is good enough batsman to play in the middle order. He is the best player of spin in the indian lineup. Since the WC is in India, he along with Jaddu are a must along with Kuldeep.

He is bad vs high pace and his bowling is not even part time level as seen yesterday. You need proper middle order batsmen with a well rounded game not pinch hitters

Jadeja's batting has been worse than Bumrah. And he wont pick wickets unless pitches are like yesterday's .

It's not a must in India. Spinners are overrated in ODIs. Spinners have averaged 44 in India since 2019 world Cup.

You only need 2 - Kuldeep and Jadeja are enough. We need the extra pacer in Prasidh to rotate fast bowlers. It's a long tournament and there is a lot of travelling.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Last 2 over from shadab was brilliant .

Too late may be. He should have bowled well early on may a wicket would have come

 

[Ali Active]

Great catch if it is out

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Give it to zaman now

 

[Devadwal]

I think it's because we have a WC coming up soon, so they wanted to figure out their best xi from now

No they were most of game with senior players

 

[pakistanisgreat]

India batting line up in those conditions will be virtually impossible to stop, especially in the longer format.

only team that would challenge india would be England in batting. Otherwise indian bowling way too strong for anyone.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone . brilliant catch

 

[RexRex]

Cmon Pakistan .. summon the never-say-die spirit of Imran Khan

 

[Rana]

Babar, this is your chance

 

[shah9425]

Good catch

 

[Marooned]

Clean catch.

 

[Markhor]

Can Wasim and Waqar come onto the field now ?

 

[Cric1234]

Just because Iftikhar took a wicket he doesn’t become murali now that you keep bowling him.

 

[Rana]

This Asalanka guy is in bottling the game mood

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

some reprieve

 

[Justcrazy]

Iftikhar gets wicket , Pakistan just about hanging here

 

[pakistanisgreat]

wicket for chacha

 

[TheSultan]

Great catch by Harry

 

[Nikhil_cric]

You have best team. It is a dream to beat india in india. India is the one who start the win as a host the world cup. This is the time for India to win and great Kholi to retire with dignity.

We just lost a series to Australia in India with our shallow batting lineup mucking a chase.

Axar got smashed in that match and Jadeja could barely score in the chase when it mattered.

 

[batandballbattle]

big wicket
deserved a century but not to be, a small glimmer of hope now

 

[Marooned]

Babar, this is your chance

This is the perfect situation for Rauf. Sigh.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Brilliantly caught. But is it too late?

 

[Devadwal]

Now Pakistan is back to the game .

 

[Rana]

Ifti’s action live looks a bit weird

 

[Adi_62945]

Another issue it teams like nz wi Australia eng never send there playing 11 for the tour of pak they test bunch strength where as we don't do that at all

Yes because they consider us minnows

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Another will make it interesting

 

[Devadwal]

Lankan are panicking

 

[7sins]

Lankan are panicking

Milking singles

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Did kuldeep play? Now indian player are back in form. It is impossible to beat them now. I will be shocked if Indian does not win the world cup.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Another run out missed

 

[Rana]

Asalanka made it hard for his team with his tuk tuk, now he is adding the panic

 

[Devadwal]

Superb fielding,save 3 runs

 

[Firebat]

Ifti is a one man team

 

[Cric1234]

Lankan are panicking

They are going easily no chance of a loss unless 3 wickets fall.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

SL should not panic. it should be run a ball from here.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

I think I have figured out why the team is poor. The IQ is too low. Literally.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

another run out chance

 

[Devadwal]

Here come Shaheen

 

[Firebat]

Now or never Shaheen

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

SSA back

 

[Rana]

I’m telling you this Asalanka guy is choking inside

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I’m telling you this Asalanka guy is choking inside

In Pakistani dress room lol

 

[RexRex]

Keep bowling wide yorkers and pack the offside .. simple route to victory for Pakistan.

 

[hamzie]

get shadab out

 

[Devadwal]

Shadab trying to be oversmart

 

[7sins]

Shadab mentally choked

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Why is the fielding so bad

 

[Ali Active]

Yes asalanka more dots please

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Need double strike here

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Pak should drop shadab. Will Babar let that happened. You will heat a speach after the game.
