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

[Saj]

12 dot balls already in the first 3 overs of the Pakistan innings

 

[Kianig89]

Lucky you Babar

 

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan 7 from 15 balls

This is increasing required rate , and will haunt Pakistan in the latter overs , both do not want to take any chances , just score runs at poor strike rate , pathetic mentality

 

[PakFan2010]

Rizwan is the best T20 batsmen in the world, people need to give him time.

 

[as-95]

Fakhar needs to score today. Rizwan looking hopeless.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar definitely is terribly out of form

 

[BleedGreen]

Need to be 30/0 atleast after 4 overs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

A smart bowling would realise that it's impossible to bowl sides out in the 2nd innings here. Defensive bowling skills are of the utmost priority. It's hard but restricting the scoring is your only hope. If you bowl aggressively , you'll get smashed. Defensive bowling and field placements.

 

[mrtaim3]

Why can't they chip over the head of in-circle fielders? This pitch looks so good for batting

 

[castortroy]

Babar flops again.

That should be the match

 

[Rana]

Fraud openers

 

[NeVerMind]

Awful from Babar...gets out to a wide ball

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate almost 9 !

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Any other team after that 1st ball would be 50 by now game over

 

[sweep_shot]

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

LOL. What's the point of this over by over tracking?

 

[Marooned]

Tailender babar gone.

On a wide ball as well.

 

[Kianig89]

Get ready for Fakhar customary 5 of 13

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on Babar we wanna see that class

 

[Major]

that was a wide ball, god dammit babar what an ugly way to get out.

good catch.

Rizwan needs to bat till 16th over.

 

[10sion]

Nightmare of a tournament for babar

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow that was a gift lol Babar must be cursing his luck

 

[Kianig89]

Send in Nawaz

 

[sweep_shot]

Babar is out. Blow.

But, Pakistan have plenty of batting left.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar fails yet again. What a disgusting batting display by this team.

Zero aggression and can't even score runs with the bowlers spraying everywhere.

 

[PakFan2010]

Babar is badly out of touch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It was almost as if he was destined to have a bad Asia cup.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What was that ?????? He could have left it easily.

 

[srh]

Rizwan is the best T20 batsmen in the world, people need to give him time.

not really lol; cricket is not that simple

 

[BleedGreen]

Crr 6.60

 

[Shafi]

Mr. Softie gone. This guy is never play good innings when needed. Overly hyped player.

 

[PakPremi]

So it will be Rizwan or rust

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This should be the last time these 2 open

 

[Kianig89]

Toss anomaly to be busted here

 

[topspin]

Babar was unlucky there but guess this is the fortune one experiences when they're out of form.

 

[Rana]

Who cares?

They are accountable to nobody

 

[shah_1]

Well done for Sri Lanka for winning the match

 

[shariqnoor]

SL winning this handsomely. Theeksana, Hasaranga overs still left.

 

[PakFan2010]

Babar is out. Blow.

But, Pakistan have plenty of batting left.

Lol

Lots of part-time pinch hitters left.

 

[Marooned]

wow that was a gift lol Babar must be cursing his luck

U indians are accustomed to ascribing everything to luck
It was a pathetic shot. What luck?

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Fakhar gone

Get Lost!

 

[castortroy]

Congrats srilanka

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lanka on fire

 

[ekpakistani]

Fakhar zaman to fail again. What else is new. Out first ball

 

[BleedGreen]

Oh wow.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The hack gets out

 

[Kianig89]

Fakhar why was he in the side

 

[mrtaim3]

Pakistan plays too many dot balls even on a pit h that is very good for the batsmen. India would have been 50+ at this stage

 

[10sion]

Fakhar gone !

 

[Shafi]

Stupid Fakhar gone as well!!!

 

[topspin]

Fakhar needs to be dropped from this team. Really poor footwork.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

: to be expected

 

[imshally81]

SL right on the top

 

[shah_1]

Ghanta ka king Babar

Babar has always flopped when it mattered

 

[ali-abbas123]

Fakhar again

 

[Major]

sned in shadab

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar fails yet again. What a disgusting batting display by this team.

Zero aggression and can't even score runs with the bowlers spraying everywhere.

Anyone who saw the last few overs of the Lankan innings knew this would happen, it doesn’t take much to mess with our softies’ heads.

Rizwan is playing a test and Babar just threw his wicket away to a certain wide lol

 

[IAJ]

Lol, should have left it.

Fakhar gone too

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar is responsible for Fakhars career.

 

[IMMY69]

Well I think that's that lads unless there is a miracle

 

[ekpakistani]

SL deserve this

 

[sweep_shot]

Babar got out to a junk ball. But, it can happen.

Junk ball in T20 often results in wicket.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good bye Fakhar. Thanks for coming.

Looking forward to Haider replacing him.

 

[Rana]

We robbed India from an easy Asia cup win

 

[jnaveen1980]

U indians are accustomed to ascribing everything to luck ��
It was a pathetic shot. What luck?

Bit of unlucky i would say. That was an absolutely terrible ball.

 

[Kianig89]

Ringa ringa roses a deck of cards falling like 9 pins Pakistan batting

 

[BleedGreen]

Congrats Sri Lanka, Babar out of form With 6 hacks to follow in our batting lineup.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fakhar isnt a t20 player , has a sr of 125 and average in early 20s. Should be out of the team.

 

[Snowflake]

12 dot balls already in the first 3 overs of the Pakistan innings

All down to Rizwan. At least 4 of these dot balls deserved to be smacked to boundaries. Rizwan is a horrible horrible batsman in PP

 

[sweep_shot]

2 in 2!

Wow!

Fakhar is out.

 

[PakFan2010]

If it wasn't for the wides and extras, the score would be 10/2.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SL deserve this

Because srilankan tourism are the sponsors?

 

[Major]

Should had sent in Shadab khan here

 

[Shafi]

Same old story. Both Saqlain and Babar was adamant with Hasan Ali and cost semi now Fakhar.

 

[ekpakistani]

Friends XI in full flow.

+1

 

[Marooned]

Bit of unlucky i would say. That was an absolutely terrible ball.

Even more terrible shot.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Imo we need sharjeel back in the team.

 

[Kianig89]

Iftikhar the Misbah prototype in

 

[sweep_shot]

Fakhar isnt a t20 player , has a sr of 125 and average in early 20s. Should be out of the team.

Others aren't better than Fakhar though.

Fakhar is probably Pakistan's best T20 batsman.

 

[Mp812]

Both teams trying best to loose and gift the game lol

 

[shah_1]

Despite so many extra runs given, we have an awful approach towards powerplay. No intent at all.


Love the way Sri Lanka batted in this tournament, they deserve to win the Asia cup.
