Sri Lanka vPakistan Vs Sri Lanka| World T20 | The Final | Lords | 21/6/09

The day of reckoning is here folks - Both teams want to win for different reasons and both will fight to the end.

Here's to a good contest

Pakistan Zindabada!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sri Lanka are also not that good chasers.They only won one game chasing and that too against Australia, who with all due respect dont know how to play T20.

 

[FAM]

So win the toss, bat first? Lose the toss, just forfeit the match.

 

[kingusama92]

So win the toss, bat first? Lose the toss, just forfeit the match.

lol.

I would say win the toss, bat first... lose the toss, hope they bowl first. If they bat first laugh at them and say we wanted to bowl anyways.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So win the toss, bat first? Lose the toss, just forfeit the match.

If that was the mind set of the team, we would not have even made the super8.

 

[afzaal1988]

[SwEeT CaNdY]

[darkmoon459]

Less then an hour to go and arround 4-5 hours before Younus Khan lifts the cup and lift the Nation of pakistan to new heights. Inshallah today will be become an important Date in pakistans history.

 

[IMMY69]

amir khan saying he is supporting pakistan!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

amir khan saying he is supporting pakistan!

The Boxer or The Actor?

 

[Mo.]

The boxer. surprised to see him on TV supporting Pakistan tbh

 

[FAM]

If that was the mind set of the team, we would not have even made the super8.

I am talking about the mindset of PPers here. Be positive.

 

[Looney]

Oh man they should play Jazba-e-Junoon in the stadium today.

Bring back the memories of 92. YK is a die-hard fan of IK and i know not even the end of the world can stop him from winning this one for us

 

[tripz_shahab]

all the best, brothers...its time to play da game

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

PAKISTAN chargeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Srilankaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa chargeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[IMMY69]

The boxer. surprised to see him on TV supporting Pakistan tbh

he was honest...his parents from pakistan and his roots are from there so he is supporitng pakistan...what reason would he have for supporting sri lanka?

 

[Momo]

The Boxer or The Actor?

The boxer. Now Shahid Afridi (the cricketer) is speaking.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Can a mod fix the title!! One Sri Lankan team is enough, we cant beat two!

soo truee..)

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The boxer. Now Shahid Afridi (the cricketer) is speaking.

They interviewed him before the Semis too, Right?

 

[pak4life]

toss anytime soon!

 

[*sallu*]

the pitch is turning a fair bit
I saw the wome's final and it is assisting the bowlers

 

[Lethal]

Can a mod fix the title!! One Sri Lankan team is enough, we cant beat two!

[Lethal]

Toss very shortly.

 

[Momo]

They have to. He is rather *important*.

 

[FAM]

Toss.

 

[pak4life]

younis call correctly pleaseeeeeeee

 

[pak4life]

damn!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tripz_shahab]

TOSS won by Sri Lanka

Pak will chase

 

[Momo]

Sri Lanka win toss.

 

[Lethal]

Sri Lanka win toss and bat first.

Damn

 

[pak4life]

SL won toss and will bat

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok now that didnt go according to plan.

 

[DonJee]

Turning point in the game already - Sri Lanka win the toss and bat first - This tilts it in SL's favour I reckon coz Pakistan look a little shaky chasing!!

 

[Looney]

Damn yaar we are chasing.

 

[faizpak]

srl won the toss and elected to bat first

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

WE LOST THE TOSS nahhhh

 

[Looney]

Hmph! it's alright as long as we win what really matters.

 

[Momo]

Can a mod fix the title!! One Sri Lankan team is enough, we cant beat two!

Done

 

[pak4life]

I wonder what the par score will be

 

[Best_Bacha]

this might be good ...ball is swinging today....get dilshan out early

 

[saqlain]

Very bad news but thats okay. Pakistan has to perform now and bowl really well and should not allow SL top order to get away. Get top 3 wickets and Pakistan will be just fine. SL's middle order is not as good as Pakistan's middle order.

 

[Lethal]

Both teams unchanged.

 

[shabbu1]

Cmon boys, let's do a "New Zealand" on them!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I guess we will chase anything around 140-150

 

[Lethal]

Ian Ward suggesting a bit of seam movement for the bowlers especially with the slope at Lords.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yes Lets do a new Zea Land to them.

 

[undisputed]

batting first would of been nice but less hope they can restrict sri lanka to below 150 and a good enough batting will hopefully be enough to chase it.

 

[FAM]

Cmon boys, let's do a "New Zealand" on them!

Haha. I was about to say that too.

 

[undisputed]

Pakistan Zindabad cmmmooon

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Come on Aamer!!

 

[<< Rashid >>]

I liked YK's response to losing the toss, very positive.

I think bowling first isn't the worst thing in the world considering the conditions today.

Come on people, if we put all our faith in the toss we don't have that much faith in our team!


GO PAKISTAN!

 

[saeed-sohail]

I have never seen more relaxed captains at the toss of a WC final.

 

[hasanb]

Even the supersports analysts are heavily tipping sri lanka, saying they are unbeaten...they were struggling to say any good things about us, i think theyre still hurting from the beating we gave to their beloved south africa

 

[Saj]

some pics taken about 30 mins ago

 

[tripz_shahab]

its always tough to bat first at lords..blessing in disguise...we will knock the score off.ameen

 

[darkmoon459]

Bowling first no big deal , we have Gul, Razzak, Aamir and the spin twins but we have to feild like never before.

 

[Saj]

another one

 

[Saj]

another pic

 

[iZeeshan]

It's game on people.

 

[Momo]

Absolutely game on.

Anything up to 140 is chasable.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I dont know but I feel something great with the ball from Razz.

 

[IMMY69]

it bodes well for pakistan that knight is backing sri lanka

 

[darkmoon459]

Right now my living room look & feel like Lords ,Friends come dressed in their team kits supporting their team.Funny thing is that my indian friends come dressed in their kits and got creamed by all here.

 

[IMMY69]

positive spin..

lords....big worldcup final...what is worse under pressure? batting or bowling??

when batting u know u make one mistake and you're gone...if you are bowling you can bowl a long hop under pressure but you have the next ball to make it up...

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

all the muslims in trinidad supporting pak

 

[khilari]

Jeetey Ga bhai Jeetey Ga
Pakisan Jeetey ga

 

[saqlain]

Seems like the experts at Sky TV has simply no faith in Pakistan at all. They are only praising SL players and havent showed anything about Pakistani players.

 

[darkmoon459]

Lords is getting packed and i see pakistani flags all over.Mashallah.

 

[Momo]

No exchanging illegal streams, please.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Gutted we lost the toss BUT we can still do it - getting Dilshan out early is the key, he has scored the bulk of their runs and getting him out could restrict them to a relatively small total

C'mon Pak

 

[mnoman15]

Man I am 31 and I am so excited .... does not look on me

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Come on Lads. Its time to bring back World Cup home.
