Sri Lanka (170/6) beat Pakistan (147 all out) by 23 runs to win the 2022 Asia Cup

[IAJ]

Good comeback by bowler. After the start this should have been a 25 runs over

 

[shariqnoor]

Missed out on the whole over. Should've gone for 20.

 

[as-95]

Poor from batters. All the extras saved this over

 

[JibranAnsari]

Suddenly every team has a very good left arm swing bowler.

Madhushanka is amazing. Farooqi too is very good. Arshdeep too.

 

[Major]

good over for Pakistan. This would place sri lanka an over short for the final over and cause the fielding restriction

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan and Babar both look terrible to be honest, just cannot hit anything off the bat right now lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good come back by Madhushanka after that terrible start. 11 ball over conceded just 12 runs.

 

[Kianig89]

This won't be halwa have a feeling it might go to 8or 9 wickets of we are to sail through

 

[BleedGreen]

Good running

 

[Major]

spinner upfront

 

[10sion]

After 1st over - Sri Lanka - 4/1 -Pakistan - 12/0 Advantage Pakistan

 

[Major]

more extras

 

[Kianig89]

We are clueless against spin theorem no. 1

 

[jnaveen1980]

Suddenly every team has a very good left arm swing bowler.

Madhushanka is amazing. Farooqi too is very good. Arshdeep too.

Arshdeep is not a new ball bowler. He is a forced choice. Moshin khan/Khaleel/Yash Dhayal are new ball bowlers.

 

[BleedGreen]

Need to be 55/0 at least by the end of 6 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

12 runs of first bowler , Lanka would like to keep it tight here

 

[Technics 1210]

After 1st over - Sri Lanka - 4/1 -Pakistan - 12/0 Advantage Pakistan

3 dot balls in the 1st over. Any other team and they'd have scored 20+

 

[Kianig89]

Only Nawaz and Shabad are good against spin

 

[Inswing]

Rizwan and babar and the dot balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to be 55/0 at least by the end of 6 overs

Need to target 65 runs even if you lose couple of wickets

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

14 in 2 overs - with 10 runs gifted

 

[BleedGreen]

Why are they playing so slow

 

[Kianig89]

16 after 2 advantage Sl

 

[Major]

good running by the two

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on

 

[Inswing]

80-85 should be in first 10 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan and Babr need to get going here , they cannot play dot balls in power ball , need to take calculated chances

 

[Kianig89]

Saqlian has no strategy all dua I guess

 

[10sion]

2nd over - Sri Lanka - 12 runs - Pakistan - 4 runs - Advantage Sri Lanka

 

[BleedGreen]

Need to be 25 after 3 overs

 

[Shafi]

Instead of tuktuk we should play positively. 6 runs in 2 overs are poor.

 

[Major]

you guys need to relax, the game just started, you want pakistan to hit 30 runs in the first two?

The advantage is with pakistan till both these batters are there

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] are you enjoying this batting?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Choking pathetic

 

[IAJ]

Excellent bowling here!

 

[Kianig89]

Luck riding Pakistan so far

 

[BleedGreen]

16/0 after 2 overs

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Nervy start

 

[Justcrazy]

When you have shadab at number 8 in a 20 20 game , you need to attack and not be timid

 

[as-95]

Pakistan deserve to lose for their Tuk Tuk approach. No other team has been so timid in the powerplay.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Batting will get easier once the ball stops swinging.

 

[Technics 1210]

6 off 12 legal deliveries.

Shambolic.

 

[Major]

4 by rizwan, good shot

 

[Inswing]

Brilliant by rizwan. Shabash

 

[Saj]

Rizwan struggling so far.

Much needed boundary for him.

 

[AAli98]

Rizwan & baba will have to bat till 12th over regardless of score.. you don’t want to expose Ifty khushdil asif nawaz for more than 8 overs.

 

[Kianig89]

Finally a boundary after 20 odd deliveries to remind us this is t20

 

[10sion]

4!

 

[Major]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] not happy with the four

 

[Shafi]

80-85 should be in first 10 overs.

More likely 40-45 maximum

 

[Inswing]

This bowler is very clever.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

he shuts the other commie for no reason.

Yeah noticed that

 

[BleedGreen]

Shot

 

[10sion]

Oh man...unnecessary Riz! Stay there.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are off to a good start.

 

[topspin]

Rizwan is awful outside the off-stump.

 

[srh]

Need to be 55/0 at least by the end of 6 overs

Sharjeel and Fakhar are not openers

 

[Kianig89]

If we lose a wicket here it would be a bugger blow

 

[SpiritOf1903]

SL are better than Afghanistan and much more to chase.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a good bowler this young guy is

 

[Inswing]

More likely 40-45 maximum

First 10 overs?

 

[BleedGreen]

Good bowling

Riz struggles offside

 

[Shafi]

Saqlian has no strategy all dua I guess

He is a signboard coach.

 

[Major]

driven straight to the fielder

 

[Rana]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] are you enjoying this batting?

Very righteous batting

 

[daytrader]

Instead of tuktuk we should play positively. 6 runs in 2 overs are poor.

One of these two needs to bat deep. Both are capable of increasing strike rate once set

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan has to bat like no 1 batter

 

[Justcrazy]

Four and then 3 dot balls

 

[Major]

so no edges flying, safe to bat on.

 

[Kianig89]

Pious batting by Rizwan but I'm afraid it ain't helping Pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan takes too many deliveries these days to start scoring

 

[Shafi]

10 in 3 overs. Playing test in T20.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Idiotic batting

 

[Rana]

Rizwan has to bat like no 1 batter

Of the flawed rankings?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Madhushanka is an unfinished product. Lot of good ingredients.

 

[sweep_shot]

151 runs are needed from 17 overs.

Rizwan is being slow. But, he can accelerate later on.

 

[Kianig89]

151 form 102

 

[10sion]

3rd Over - Sri Lanka - 7 runs - Pakistan - 4 runs - Advantage Sri Lanka

After 3 overs - Sri Lanka 23/1 - Pakistan 20/0 - Overall advantage - Pakistan

 

[Nasty Naz]

Even with bowlers struggling and being spray guns they still can't take advantage.

 

[topspin]

Rizwan's strike rate of 115 in this calendar year so far isn't going to hurt opposition teams much. This opening combo isn't sustainable.
