I really dont know how to comment on this post......its just.....ridiculous.

I dont agree with the win easily part. But WI do have a tendency of "throwing it away" so we might see that happen today.
 
So Pak has scored 232 (13 more than necessary to win). I believe the game is in the bag.

That's true, it's already happened this series while against Australia a few months ago there was one match they were chasing 280 odd, absolutely cruising with a couple of overs left and somehow contrived to throw a game that was near impossible to lose.

I have seen them doing that very often. they wud be in good position to win the match, then they throw it away. like they did in the last match, they did not know how to win. they were in good position when gayle got out, then other batsmen wasted the good start but still managed decent total tho and again in the field, they were doing well until last few overs and finally let akmal, who is not known for big hitting, hit few sixers and took the game away from them.
 
The decision to delay the powerplays cost us 30-40 runs - which is about how much we needed.....another feather in the cap of malik

I don't believe 'their throwing the match away from a winning position' is the way to approach this game. Tanno, Gul, Rao, Afridi, and Malik will Inshallah bowl them out.

In other words, we will Inshaallah win it, rather than they losing it.
