[Rana]

Watch out for mankad

 

[Markhor]

Calm down you have one ball left.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan can’t miss if Asalanka misses

 

[Thanos]

Pak to win by 1 run.

 

[castortroy]

Why is the field spread

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Well at least Sunday free, no cricket

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistan spared of another defeat by India.

 

[Rana]

Lol Sri Lanka didn’t deserve to win this

 

[castortroy]

Babar needs to be sacked after the WC

 

[Devadwal]

Sri Lanka vs India Asia Cup final

 

[TheNeutralist]

Heartbreaking

 

[castortroy]

Pakistan spared of another defeat by India.

This

 

[Firebat]

What was that field??

 

[Savak]

Why the hell did Babar not bring the field in? This guy needs to be sacked as captain.

 

[hamzie]

not sure what the field was there

 

[vodafone_lover]

Well played Pakistan, tough luck !!

 

[Adi_62945]

What was this field outside.

 

[7sins]

Lol why you bowl there

 

[Markhor]

Well done Sri Lanka and Asalanka.

At least we took it to the end with a reserve attack.

Please get a proper spinner in.

 

[Asif321]

Asalanka take a bow . Zaman did wel too

 

[riddu]

thats so unlucky
well played boys

babar brainless ..3rd man must in death overs

 

[heddie19]

WHAT A **** LAST BALL BY ZAMAN

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Another choke in a tight game classic

 

[kingusama92]

Great game regardless of the result

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Oh man what a game !!!! Well done both teams especially Sri Lanka !!!!

 

[Professionalismandflair]

Absolute rubbish. The low point of recent times. Abject captain and hopeless team. No hope in India. Forget it. We are 5 years behind.

 

[Asif321]

in the end srilanka was better side they shouldn’t have taken it so long

 

[Major]

what a field set up there. MIsbah was an expert in such situations.

Babar agian was defensive as he wanted to save the boundary lol

 

[Fazzy321]

Zaman and his great death bowling skills

 

[Cover Drive Six]

The field setup is poor.
Zaman Khan is bowling Yorkers, batsmen will try for flick shots.

 

[castortroy]

Bar kept a spread field with 2 of 1 lol

 

[Mockingbird]

Didn’t understand the field for the last ball!

 

[Champ_Pal]

Srilanka tried their best to choke. But it was not enough to stop themselves from reaching finals.

 

[7sins]

What a crap Asia Cup we had the only good thing is we won't get humiliated by india again atleast this month

 

[Markhor]

WHAT A **** LAST BALL BY ZAMAN

Slower ball on leg stump, what the heck

 

[Devadwal]

Sri Lanka make this Chase taught otherwise the way they are going it's was easy chase .

 

[Firebat]

Terrible ball, terrible field. What a way to ruin a brilliant over, hats off Babar you've outdone yourself

 

[chinaman00]

WHAT A **** LAST BALL BY ZAMAN

Nothing wrong with the ball. I think it was the field placement that was off.

 

[Fazzy321]

Who cares Asia Cup is just another useless tournament

 

[castortroy]

Never seen that type of field set of the last ball

 

[batandballbattle]

LQ expert for last over

maybe in league cricket
so much pressure on the young guy through bad planning

 

[Ahmed216]

Why did shadab bowl more overs than Nawaz?

 

[Marooned]

Crazy game in the end. Who would've thought.

Zaman should have gone for a wide yorker last ball. Asalanka is a bit of a legside hack.

 

[TheSultan]

Babar lost his bottle again.

 

[amvbfm]

Elite captaincy. It was Babar vs Sri Lanka both trying their best to lose the game. Babar won.

 

[Mariner1981]

I saw Rizwan setting the field , calling in the fine leg .

 

[PakLFC]

We just scored a boundary too few. As it happens that two extra runs Shadab gave away with an overthrow was the difference. Heartbreaking but that is how it goes. The slow start when batting is always the decisive factor.

 

[Major]

Why did shadab bowl more overs than Nawaz?

shadab bowled well in the end overs. DOnt look at overall stats. Shadab bowled more dots in the end.

Nawaz's bowling was unthreatning

 

[shah9425]

Babar the dumb captain

 

[pillionrider]

What are Babar and Zaman signaling to each other for. What was the purpose of that last ball extended discussion if they didn't have a plan. In fact, Shadab stopped them as they had only 3 in the ring initially Would have been a noball. What a way to qualify it would have been.

 

[castortroy]

Pak losing another close game under babar

 

[Major]

just so you know, we were 1 run short due to dls

 

[Adi_62945]

Rizwan had virtually taken over the captaincy from hopeless babar to make a comeback in this match

 

[Thephenom]

Our continual bad habit of playing so slowly when setting a target against the best teams keeps occurring time after time, there is no urgency in any facet of the game

 

[Firebat]

Asalanka almost thanking Zaman for that last ball. Can't write it

 

[jnaveen1980]

SL tried their very best to lose it from a comfortable situation. Still not enough.

 

[Firebat]

just so you know, we were 1 run short due to dls

Wrote this at the end of the Pakistan innings...

If SL reach 252 on the last ball then we're gonna need some calculators to explain this...

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Sri Lanka tried everything to bottle it..

 

[7sins]

No way fakhar Nawaz faheem Salman are waseem hr are going to be selected for world cup sqaud if ihsanullah is fit better select him than these trundlers

 

[Major]

We just scored a boundary too few. As it happens that two extra runs Shadab gave away with an overthrow was the difference. Heartbreaking but that is how it goes.

oh plz. If Shadab didnt give that 2 extras than maybe the lankan batters would had tried hitting more and get those runs before.

You cant whine about extra runs that happened earlier in the innings, if you change one thing than all other things change

 

[PakPremi]

What kind of field placing was that for last ball?

 

[Cric1234]

Shadab giving 2 overthrows proved costly Pakistan didn’t deserve to win Sri Lanka dominated for most of the Chase poor show from the number 1 team false perceptions came to the fore as we are nowhere near a number 1 team.

 

[Fazzy321]

Zaman had one chance to make his name in the team.

 

[heddie19]

No superover will be here, srilanka will qualify in case of tie !!

Why not? every LOI has a super over on tie. On what basis you're saying this?

 

[Josh]

Good game at the end but Sri Lanka was about to almost bottle it. It was always a Sri Lanka game to win.

 

[PakLFC]

oh plz. If Shadab didnt give that 2 extras than maybe the lankan batters would had tried hitting more and get those runs before.

You cant whine about extra runs that happened earlier in the innings, if you change one thing than all other things change

Nothing "please" about it. The fact is he gave away two extra runs and as always our ground fielding was poor.

 

[Major]

what was funny was, 4 psl captains, Babar, Rizwan, Shadab, and Shaheen were there

 

[rhony]

No way Babar was going to give Asalanka his fifty

 

[Devadwal]

Asia Cup final - Two best sides in Asia Cup history will face off with each other.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Why not? every LOI has a super over on tie. On what basis you're saying this?

Only super over is for the finals. They said that in the commentary. Well done PCB.

 

[Marooned]

Safe to say we would've won this with Naseem and rauf.
