Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Asia Cup | Dhaka | 15/3/12 | 1st Innings

[JibranAnsari]

Wonder how many Sri Lanka would have managed had Ajmal not been taken off earlier against Tharanga and Sangakkara. He bowled Tharanga as soon as he came on in the batting Powerplay

How to get a bonus point?

How a "bonus point" is won in an ODI :-

If the winning team can keep their run rate 1.25 times more than the team they beat - they win the bonus point from that match. For example, If Australia bats first and make 250 runs, Indian team needs to win the match at a run rate of (250/50)* 1.25. Which equals to 6.25 runs per over. Which in turn means that India must win the match in 40.1 overs (251/6.25) or of course - less than that.

In case India bats first and needs to win the bonus point after scoring 250 from 50 overs, they need to restrict Australia from scoring more than 187 runs. This is calculated as India's batting run rate was 5. To have a run rate 1.25 time better than Australia, India must not let Australia score more than 3.75 (5-1.25) as a run rate. Thus a total of no more than 187 from 50 Overs for Australia while batting second.

Chase 189 in 35 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

seems our bowlers enjoy playing against SL.

We should chase this if we bat sensibly!

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Not really All we need to do is TUK TUK. This is such a small target on a placid wicket. Its in the bag.

I hope so.

Chase 189 in 35 overs

Id rather we just chase this in 50 overs and bat normally!

 

[Ahson8]

Well bowled Pakistan

 

[AZulfi]

The good news is the RRR (3.78) suits Misbah's Tuk Tuk style of batting!

 

[PTI tsunami]

Younis must be dropped for wahab riaz against India. He is a useless player.

Yeh so we should go in with only 3 bats don't give up on your day job kid

I know what I have said . We r already with 3 batsmen. Iam not counting younis khan as an odi batsman. So why not to take wahab or shafiq for him. Than we will have 11 players.

 

[JibranAnsari]

when was the last time we played an asia cup final?

 

[DOOSRA95]

Our top six are best in business of TUKTUK, they will wrap the match in 45th over!
