Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Asia Cup Final 2014 | Dhaka | 8/3/2014 | Pakistan Innings

[lilFlip]

so no 300 from pakistan

A 200 is what we are expecting here

 

[mosh101]

Does misbah have it in him to score a 100?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan will be lucky to score 170

 

[Justcrazy]

This is why you need experienced coach , not a loud mouth like

 

[Fire Bird]

so no 300 from pakistan

As though that was a real possibility

 

[OZGOD]

probably 150, tuk-tuk Misbah's in the house, he needs 100 more runs from players on the other end to suck the life out of the match.

Would you prefer all out for 50?

 

[Red Devil]

what a ball! Almost got Misbah

 

[saiyan0312]

awesome inswinger... could have bowled misbah.

 

[imranraf]

Lakmal is getting some good bounce from this wicket.

 

[m.shah]

Maqsood should have played here..He played a fighting inning against India and got a very bad decision against Bangla

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez is the worst batsman against swing.

 

[OZGOD]

Nearly a bad leave from Misbah but ultimately a good leave in the end

 

[Justcrazy]

This is flat pitch , Lanka have batting till number 9

 

[Aman]

Credit to SL they've been brilliant with the ball.

 

[amax]

This is where proper batsmen like Maqsood and Misbah comes into play bits and pieces cant get you long.

 

[lilFlip]

Lakmal is bowling gems

 

[imshally81]

so no 300 from pakistan today

Even no 200..

 

[Justcrazy]

lakmal is bowling like Marshal here

 

[Asif321]

Fawad's stance )

 

[Lords]

Weird bowling action meets weird batting action.

BTW, Malinga is a big game player and mostly steps up to the plate when needed. Dont like his new guts thouh

 

[lilFlip]

This is flat pitch , Lanka have batting till number 9

Pakistan have 7 bowlers

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan fascinated with bits and pieces players

 

[ritzy_123]

Maqsood should have played here..He played a fighting inning against India and got a very bad decision against Bangla

Yes no one was expecting Sharjeel to play IMO as middle order looked solid with inclusion of Fawad and Sohaib both of them..

[NeVerMind]

they are losing badly!!

 

[castortroy]

Shahzad & Hafeez were our only hopes of a big score. Both score quickly but with both gone the game is over

 

[cricket geek]

A 200 is what we are expecting here

a quick fire half century from afridi wil take pak to 300

 

[Sam18696]

Is this a flat track? I don't think it is

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have 7 bowlers

Bowlers need some target.

Batters win ODI

 

[Boi]

lol Hafeez fails in a big game again.

 

[style_guru]

a quick fire half century from afridi wil take pak to 300

I am expecting a quick fire 100

 

[Asif321]

on what basis they selected Sharjeel ? they knew he has failed everytime against Lanka

 

[Justcrazy]

has been worst decision PCB ever made , he is over rating bowlers as all rounders

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Good Tucking from Fadi

 

[saeedhk]

Collapse is on..

 

[Shafi]

I really lost hope after 18/3. We need miracle from ALLAH to save this match. Sad to see after playing so many matches with Sri Lanka recently we dont know their bowling. Pathetic!!!!! Need Inzamam or Yousuf or Dean Jhone as batting coach. Abbas was a good player but not good as coach. Same mistakes again and again!!!

 

[Red Devil]

In Sha Allah Fawad will get his maiden ODI ton

InshaAllah.

 

[Sam18696]

When people are expecting a good performance from Afridi he always fails.

 

[imshally81]

Swing for SL bowlers

 

[saiyan0312]

I am expecting a quick fire 100

Is it the fastest.,

 

[Justcrazy]

is even poor than

 

[Sam18696]

Cmon Fawad and Kaptaan

 

[cricket geek]

Even no 200..

misbah will take it to 200 and its upto umar and afridi to take it 280 to 300

 

[imranraf]

Malinga and Lakmal both bowling very good so far. They have taken the initiative completely away from Pakistan and put their team on the path to victory.

 

[Shafi]

Same ball Fawad played sensibly than Sarjheel.

 

[Sam18696]

They should've played bhatti or anwar. Our batting is weak

 

[Justcrazy]

Batting is very thin , it will fail even against average bowlers in Australia in WC .

 

[taqi]

need to consolidate still can post decent score here

 

[OZGOD]

These two have the right idea. Just need to see off Malinga and Lakmal who are bowling good spells. There's plenty of time in this match. If they can put a partnership together the bowlers will have to adjust and the early wickets lost are less of an issue.

I never understood why some players feel the need to win the match in the first 10 overs. I know it's powerplay overs but you have to have the IQ to know which balls to hit and to get the measure of the wicket first especially if the ball is swinging.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sad to see Pakistan making fun of themselves in such a crucial game

 

[imranraf]

Hindsight is 20/20, but we should have played at least one more batsman or an all rounder like Bhatti or Anwar.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Atleast takes some damn singles!

 

[cricket geek]

fawad 0 of 9 balls. need to rotate the strike

 

[Justcrazy]

I think is not fit , they just playing him for sake of playing

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Just need to consolidate this period.

 

[Bilal7]

These two need to start rotating the strike or hitting a few boundaries otherwise there will be too much pressure on Akmal and Afridi.

One of Gul, Junaid or Talha should have been dropped for Maqsood.

 

[Kiri]

Just saw Fawad's technique for the first time. Mendis would have licked his lips.

 

[imranraf]

Predict your score for Pakistan from this point onward. I am predicting all out under 200 and hoping I am completely wrong.

 

[Asif321]

these 2 have to bat till 33ov

 

[Sam18696]

at those saying hit boundaries

 

[Aman]

Gul should have been dropped for Maqsood/Bhatti/Anwar

 

[Red Devil]

Another Miden for Lakmal

 

[ChaudrySaab]

This game (so far) reminds me of the CT match vs WI

 

[Shafi]

Problem is Wasim can give tips to India or Bangladesh not Pakistan. Same as Miandad free tips to Azharuddin and Silva not to Sarjheel, Maqsood or Hafeez. Selfish!!!

 

[castortroy]

Game is not going anywhere with this tuk tuk

 

[Justcrazy]

If pakistan keep this coaching staff they will keep loosing key games

 

[steelo green]

Why did we go with 6 FT bowlers as a weak batting side. Why are we a team full of bloody idiots.

 

[London_Lahori]

We need to take some singles now and consolidate. No more time for big shots

 

[Red Devil]

Malinga taken off

 

[superman]

not even everyones answer to everything fawad "cant hit a four" is taking singles just tuk tuk tuk tuk from both sides

 

[saiyan0312]

sena on.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Let them settle before thinking about boundaries

 

[London_Lahori]

Game is not going anywhere with this tuk tuk

And we were going places at 20-3?

 

[Aman]

Spin introuduced

 

[imshally81]

 

[Red Devil]

:4 Amazing shot

 

[Asif321]

 

[superman]

And we were going places at 20-3?

we are still there with less balls left and more pressure on baysmen tuk tuk doesnt help us

 

[Boi]

Lovely drive.

 

[saiyan0312]

by fawad. weird shot by placed well.

 

[Aman]

Nice shot from
