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

[QalandarFan]

Drop Fakhar and never pick him again

Never seen someone get a longer leash due to one innings 5 years ago

 

[BleedGreen]

Ghanta ka king Babar

Babar has always flopped when it mattered

196 against Australia?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Neither of them were wicket taking deliveries. Wide balls both.

 

[Rana]

10-0 without a ball being faced

And then Babar+Rizwan give the initiative back to Sri Lanka

 

[Kianig89]

Wth is Rizwan playing straight to fielder

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan is the real culprit.. Who played lots of dot balls

 

[QalandarFan]

Others aren't better than Fakhar though.

Fakhar is probably Pakistan's best T20 batsman.

How is he Pakistan’s best T20 batsman?? When’s the last time he even scored a 50?

 

[srh]

Pakistan gave up on their T20 dream when they selected 2 accumulators as their openers

 

[Major]

Iftikhar needs to perform tonight

 

[Waleed93]

Fakhar is the ideal opener according to some.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rizwan should take it deep like he does always.

 

[Idrees1990]

We robbed India from an easy Asia cup win

India is pathetic. Didn’t deserve

 

[Kianig89]

Sl deserve to win this they even won in the Super 4 as well we are riding on flukes

 

[IAJ]

Now we will need Rizwan to play a Test-innings lol

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Babar unclutch
Rizwan unclutch
Fakhar terrified

 

[OmaIR1]

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

Wishful thinking.

The poor starts have been the demise of Pakistan. You have to try to take singles and doubles at a minimum. Pakistan go into a shell and expect miracles from the lower order every game.

 

[Marooned]

Iftikhar needs to perform tonight

Can't see it happening.

 

[BleedGreen]

Imo we need sharjeel back in the team.

We already have hacks filling up the lineup. Rather go for Abdullah Shafiq, Haider Ali, Imad Wasim

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shadab is a decent batsman otherwise they can take a concussion substitute.

 

[topspin]

Lets not forget half of these runs haven't even come from Pakistan's bat.

Even when wickets were tumbling for Sri Lanka. The tempo was still there. Our batsmen are hopeless and I hope people can finally see that the Babar and Rizwan combo isn't working.

 

[chinaman00]

His form aside, Fakhar has to be one of the ugliest batsmen to watch. Always kicking & jumping when he bats. Should join an acrobatics team.

 

[SM1989]

196 against Australia?

Didnt win us the series ultimately

 

[shah_1]

196 against Australia?

White ball cricket

 

[Technics 1210]

Pakistan have effectively scored 14 runs on 4 overs

 

[sweep_shot]

SL are on top now.

Pakistan need a partnership.

 

[Kianig89]

27/2 in 34 deliveries

 

[mrtaim3]

Fakhar should be no where near to the T20 team

 

[BleedGreen]

Rizwan should take it deep like he does always.

His weakness has been identified, outside off

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Chacha 25 on 45 balls coming up lol
SL totally deserve this

 

[t_kaay]

Whole point of the Powerplay has been wasted by over caution by Pakistan. Had an extra over and 10 runs gifted yet still not past 30 after nearly 5 overs. Terrible start whatever the outcome

 

[jnaveen1980]

Incredible from Madhushania 0 ball 9 runs. Now 2.2 overs 19 runs.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan deserves the flak for this rubbish innings so far, he hasnt timed a single shot

 

[Savak]

Only Pakistan keeps backing and habitually sticking to out of form players through out a tournament. Other teams are more ruthless and will bench out of form players for other players.

 

[Kianig89]

Proper batters like Haider are benched and bits and pieces iftikhar khushdil etc are playing

 

[Major]

I liked Madhushanka when he used to bowl the first over.

now he is being a jerk to us

 

[Snowflake]

Whole point of the Powerplay has been wasted by over caution by Pakistan. Had an extra over and 10 runs gifted yet still not past 30 after nearly 5 overs. Terrible start whatever the outcome

Not Pakistan. Rizwan.

 

[Mamoon]

We deserve this humiliation.

 

[ali-abbas123]

Remember they were 68-5…. It’s so painful being a lifelong Pakistani cricket fan

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha edges one and they don't take a review

 

[jnaveen1980]

His weakness has been identified, outside off

He needs a partner. He is not going to finish it on his own.

 

[imshally81]

Oh it was out

 

[Major]

chacha was out

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Ifti was out )

 

[BleedGreen]

Imo we need sharjeel back in the team.

Fakhar 2.0

 

[Kianig89]

Our RR is a shame just shame

 

[topspin]

We deserve this humiliation.

Your timing never ceases to amaze me

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should have sent in khushdil or asif , this will only increase the rrr

 

[Marooned]

Ball coming on eazzzzily now. Win toss win match lololol.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Remember they were 68-5…. It’s so painful being a lifelong Pakistani cricket fan

It was inevitable. Watch Rizwan give his wicket away after a reprieve

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think it is nerves may be? Pitch is glorious to bat on.

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan is a headless chicken against fast bowling when it bit outside off

 

[imshally81]

We deserve this humiliation.

Welcome back Mamoon with your signature post

 

[Major]

rizan good shot

 

[Kianig89]

Finally a convincing shot after 37 deliveries

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

We deserve this humiliation.

Welcome

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Oh it was out

They don't want him to out lol they know he will waste pile of balls so no point to get him out

 

[Mamoon]

This tournament has destroyed the myth that Babar is at the same level as Kohli. Different levels.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Damn. Ifti chacha was out .

 

[Shafi]

Some fans have better insight than Babar. We all knew Fakhar will fail why Babar thought Fakahr will score 50. Shadab should be captain.

 

[imshally81]

Welcome boundary for Pakistan..

 

[Major]

We deserve this humiliation.

was waiting for this post

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are not looking fluent today. They were batting better against India.

Pressure of final perhaps.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

One of the worst innings I’ve seen.

 

[Kianig89]

Need a 15 run over or 2 sixes

 

[JibranAnsari]

Out of 30 rizwan has faced 21. Reminds me if hafeez and ahmed shahzad back in the day. Hogging strike and scoring nothibg

 

[10sion]

Rizwan must be so annoyed having to do this s#it day in and day out.

 

[mrtaim3]

This is a criminal start from Rizwan. Srilanka were losing wickets but they never looked in pressure. They were hitting boundries nearly in every over.

 

[t_kaay]

Very poor start but I still have faith

 

[imshally81]

Ball comes on bat nicely

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha is now going to waste a good amount of balls

 

[Markhor]

Babar is badly out of touch.

As batsman and captain. SL shouldn't have been allowed to recover from 58-5 to 170. Ultra-conservative selection policies also costing us.

 

[Rohan]

Chacha did not walk

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rizwan lacks footwork. He is just using hands to hit through. It is impressive he manages to do that. But that lack of feet movement will restrict him against certain lengths.

 

[Kianig89]

Heaved by Iftikhar

 

[Major]

we will need to survive hasarange.

Meanwhile chacha tries to strike

 

[shah_1]

Fuller length

 

[Mamoon]

It had to be the rubbish Pakistan team to buck the trend of team winning in Dubai after bowling first.

 

[BleedGreen]

Ifti playing test match

 

[sweep_shot]

139 runs are needed from 15 overs.

 

[Shafi]

This tournament has destroyed the myth that Babar is at the same level as Kohli. Different levels.

Babar cannot handle pressure plus his shots ranges are limited.
