Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 3rd ODI | Karachi | Oct 02, 2019 | Sri Lanka innings

[MenInG]

Chance for Pakistan to make it a clean-sweep today after they marked the return of ODI cricket to Karachi with a big victory over Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI in a pulsating, oscillating encounter.

Some concerns about Shadab Khan's form and seems running between the wickets has also been an issue for some players.

Shinwari did well but Pakistan will need to be wary of SL middle order which gave them some needs for concern (although to be fair, just 2 batsmen!)

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Is the forecast good?

 

[MenInG]

Update - Imam-ul-Haq is not available for selection due to an injury in his left hand, which he sustained while fielding in the second ODI against Sri Lanka. Opening-batsman Abid Ali replaces him in the side.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

I think this match would be better for judging the crowd in the stadium compared to the 2nd ODI, as the 2nd ODI got moved (postponed) and there might've been a flood/ heavy rain issue close to the 2nd ODI

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Sri Lanka win the toss and bat

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

I hope Hasnain is playing

 

[Shafi]

As usual Misbah will never promote younger player. Hasnain career will be ruin under him so as Afridi. Babar should be consider himself lucky to be establish otherwise Misbah would never select him.

 

[Danyaalr01]

WHere is Hasnain. Poor from Misbah, keeps on selecting Wahab (his friend). Before the series Misbah said "we will try to play Hasnain in all 3 ODIs", I wonder what happenned.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

And Hasnain isn't playing. Abid Ali replaces Imam and Mohammad Nawaz replaces Imad Wasim (one usless spinner repaces the other useless spinner). Hasnain (along with Babar) was the most exciting player to watch from both teams but he ends up not playing any of the three ODIs...

 

[Shafi]

WHere is Hasnain. Poor from Misbah, keeps on selecting Wahab (his friend). Before the series Misbah said "we will try to play Hasnain in all 3 ODIs", I wonder what happenned.

Misbah doesn't want to give opportunity to Hasnain otherwise he ill be criticize to select Wahab over him.

 

[MenInG]

Sri Lanka win the toss and will bat first

 

[Danyaalr01]

What was the point of picking Hasnain for the squad then, he should have been playing QeA trophy to gain some red ball experience there.

Looks like an empty crowd again

I suppose Pakistan would´ve tested more of their bench strength today if the first match hadn´t been washed out due to rain, in which case they would´ve very likely wrapped up the series by now.

 

[DHONI183]

Either way, here´s hoping for a good match. Don´t want Sri Lanka to be bowled out for less than 200.

 

[Omer2002]

amir strikes...

 

[Khan12]

Show off shadab with a dive. Why did he dive.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

I thought I was the only one with cricket as the last thing on their mind these days but apparently the Karachi crowd agrees as well.

Also why can't we just let Babar open the batting in ODI's?

 

[shah_1]

Amir's fastest delivery is 134 kph

H

 

[Danyaalr01]

Show off shadab with a dive. Why did he dive.

Because it was way behind point and ut of reach, and if he hadn't dived it would have been 4, stop criticising for no reason.

 

[Khan12]

He shouldn't dive it's for the camera's and show off, should let the ball go past him. Third man would have got that.

 

[Danyaalr01]

I hate watching this new Amir bowl, he's gone from swing bowler who can bowl 140+ to less than 135 and bowls slower balls every 2 delviries.

Pakistan prides itself on it's express pacers and swing and seam bowlers, now there's Amir 'spearheading' the attack as a typical t20 trundler.

 

[Danyaalr01]

I'm hoping Sri Lanka make 300 then Pak chase it down, just to expose these useless old fast bowlers (Wahab and Amir) and Nawaz, but I hope Shinwari and Shadab do well.

 

[AdamM97]

Same. Would love to see Pakistan’s batting lineup chase 300+.

Amir will soon will be out of the team

Show off shadab with a dive. Why did he dive.

Please tell me you are being sarcastic - otherwise - what a lame mentality.

Criticizing for the sake of it.

Complaining because our players don't have the "oh I'll not dive and get my clothes dirty - someone else can try stopping it instead" mentality.

Funny thing is if he didn't dive posters like Khan Saab would probably still be on here criticizing Shadab for not attempting to stop the ball.

Danyaal's Wish List

1. Sri Lanka score 300
2. Pakistan chase it down
3. "Old" fast bowlers - Wahab and Amir - don't perform
4. Nawaz does not perform
5. Shinwari & Shadab do well

What a strange strange list

 

[Danyaalr01]

What if PAK lose by one run, it's a game of mall margins, just by looking at your comment I can tell what type of cricketer you must be yourself and where you must field (if you play).....................fine leg.

 

[Sir-fraz]

amir looks like he bowls to his opposition. i think he tries harder vs better teams.

you can tell hes just chilling.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Pakistan are leaking runs

 

[Abdullah719]

Calm down guys. It is indeed sarcasm.

 

[Abdullah719]

Should have played Hasnain. This is so boring.

 

[Shafi]

Same. Would love to see Pakistan’s batting lineup chase 300+.

Highly unlikely!!!! Even we have lost 5-0 in this series Misbah will get away with desi Tag. He has been selected 3 years for a reason and will get an extension year before the World Cup. Regardless we fail in the World Cup miserably he can also get away by saying we don't have enough talent.

 

[Hasan123]

Gunathilka looks classy.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Danyaal's Wish List

1. Sri Lanka score 300
2. Pakistan chase it down
3. "Old" fast bowlers - Wahab and Amir - don't perform
4. Nawaz does not perform
5. Shinwari & Shadab do well

What a strange strange list

Just want the young fast bowlers playing. This new Amir is boring and will be found out very soon, Wahab will be done in 2 years, he's already gone down a lot. There are better left arm spinners in Pakistan although Nawaz is a good fielder, and has a bit of potential, but Umer Khan deserves it more, Imad is better than Nawaz and Zafar Gohar also deserves a chance.

Shinwari deserves more chances, Shadab has a lot of potential and already has a few good performances.

I'm not sure how people are in favor of Wahab, he averages 35 and has an economy of almost 6.

 

[Hasan123]

Wahab won't play at the next WC and we are playing him against a under strength Sri Lankan team.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Why are Pakistan playing Wahab and Abid Ali? Do they plan to take them to next world cup?

Or better yet, do Pakistan ever want to have a chance in next world cup?

 

[Green Patriot]

This is such dull and uninspiring bowling.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Iftikhar is actually bowling well, maybe we should give him a chance, could be decent. He might even be 29, some people do look older than what they are and it shouldn't be made fun of like many people here do, including me.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Wahab won't play at the next WC and we are playing him against a under strength Sri Lankan team.

Only in Pakistan. it's like India playing Sreesanth or some other guy from 00s.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Wahab sending down throw downs.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Wahab's ODI average 34.62

And he plays as a specialist bowler

 

[Danyaalr01]

Wahab's ODI average 34.62

He's supposed to be a role model for younger fast bowlers, if he is, Pak cricket is doomed.

Lol. This is used by some experts here about Shadab.

 

[m.awais]

guys... Would do you please recommend any app for watching live streaming on iphone?

 

[Shafi]

If Misbah is coach then you will even see Kamran, Shehzad, Azhar, Rahat, will play along with Abid and Wahab in 2023 World Cup.

 

[imshally81]

Iftikhar chacha is just useless as expected

 

[Shafi]

But unfortunately Sarfraz is more shameless than Misbah. He defended 5th position and wants to lead next World cup.

 

[Shafi]

We may loose this match if SL score over 260.

 

[Mercurial]

Wahab Riaz's selection seems pointless. He should not be included in the plans for the next WC. Taj Wali should have been selected instead, his List A stats are decent.

Or maybe musa or Husnain

 

[Abdullah719]

Wow what a throw Iftikhar. And amazing backup by Shinwari.

 

[Mercurial]

Iftikhar chacha is just useless as expected

He has been ok. Not a bad spell. Economical. He is a part timer. What else do you expect from him? Calm down.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Poor poor poor poor fielding at the moment. Feel sorry for SHadab, at least 5 misfields in this over.

 

[Rayyman]

??!?????????!!!!!?????

Imad dropped?!?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Mediocre cricket all around. Ifthi bowling pies and thirimanne not good enough to put even those away.

 

[imshally81]

He has been ok. Not a bad spell. Economical. He is a part timer. What else do you expect from him? Calm down.

I expect some wickets from him

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Garbage knock by thirimanne

 

[Titan24]

Decent catch on his own bowling by Nawaz.

 

[Danyaalr01]

I expect some wickets from him

He is there to get through some cheap overs, he is only a part timer. He did his job, got through 6 cheap overs.

 

[Pakhs]

Srilanka might get to a score which may test Pakistan here.

I actully agree with 3 of his points lol

 

[Hasan123]

Sarfraz and Misbah are taking the enjoyment out of watching Pakistan.

Babar , Haris, and Shaheen are the only really exciting players right now. Imam is good but he is accumulator type batter. Whilst effective, he isnt exciting.

 

[imshally81]

He is there to get through some cheap overs, he is only a part timer. He did his job, got through 6 cheap overs.

Great Job iftikhar chacha

 

[Danyaalr01]

Angelo Perara has good list A stats, and the dubutant keeper has good FC stats, it's not a horrible team, probably would beat Zimbabwe and on maybe Bangladesh.

 

[Khan12]

Hopefully nawaz gets smashed around. Rubbish cricketer.

 

[shah_1]

Both Wahab and Amir have lost pace.

Amir is a trundler
Wahab is fast medium

 

[Danyaalr01]

Wahab 'Spearhead, 150kph lightning' Riaz doing a superb job for Sri Lanka atm.

 

[shah_1]

Azhar Mahmood said that Hasnain and Shinwari bowl at same pace )

Shinwari fastest is not more than 138 and mostly bowls in 130 to 135 kph range.

Thankfully he was sacked

I have seen Shinwari bowl high 140s, but it's a rare occasion, he does hit the deck hard so the ball comes on faster than expected.

Not a fan of Azhar but Shinwari did ball delivery or two over 150 kph in Big Bash while bowled around 142 kph, 145 kph for Pak as well.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Let the Lankans make 320-330 and make a match out of this.

 

[Titan24]

Enough overs from Wahab here, atleast 4-5 should be kept for last 10. Amir and Shinwari should ball atleast 2-3 here.

 

[Mueez]

So guys, just tuned in.

Poor bowling by Pak, good knocks by Sri Lankan batsmen or a batting paradise?

Gunathilaka played well as he has done previously in his career as well and is rated pretty highly because of the ability he possesses and poor fielding and intensity from Pak. Other than Gunthalika everybody else has found it tough.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Poor bowling by Wahab, average by Shinwari, horrible fielding, but Gunathilaka has genuinely batted well. Pitch is on the slower side.

Thanks, so I guess the fielding of ours has gone downhill?

Karachi pitches are usually a batting pitches, so I hope to see Pakistan chase the total.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

SL missed a trick by not sending in one of Jayasuriya or Shanaka in when they lost Perera.

Both scored in the last game and it would have helped them rather than sending a newbie in Bhanuka who averages 20 odd in List A plus is a wicketkeeper.

 

[Titan24]

Unless Pak bowls poorly in last 15 overs, they should be able to restrict them to a total which can be chased.

 

[Titan24]

Impressive knock from Gunthalika lost some of International cricket in last few years due to his off field issues but Srl needs him at the top.
