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

[SpiritOf1903]

There's a spike you blind bat!

 

[t_kaay]

Indian broadcasters setting up the system for him to be out hence the delay.

 

[Major]

is there an edge or did bat drag?

 

[Marooned]

Edge lol.

 

[10sion]

Not out

 

[JibranAnsari]

Need a couple of boundaries in this over

 

[SpiritOf1903]

is there an edge or did bat drag?

Spike remains...after passing bat

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha putting all the pressure on Riz to hit a boundary an over...

 

[Marooned]

is there an edge or did bat drag?

Ball next to bat. No visible gap. Can only take it as edge.

 

[Major]

man hasaranga is a good bowler. his leg break also spins, shadab only spins the googly. While hasanrage gets the turn on both

 

[adzzy786]

is there an edge or did bat drag?

Lol. This guy

 

[10sion]

Iftikhar needs to hit out or get out. let Rizwan play the anchor.

 

[shah_1]

Need to go big next over

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on chacha

 

[SpiritOf1903]

RRR over 10!

 

[Marooned]

Chacha putting all the pressure on Riz to hit a boundary an over...

That's chacha speciality.

He will let his partner take risks. But once he is settled...he gets out lol.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nicely played. Lol.

 

[Mamoon]

Rizwan will be like I spent the night in the hospital because I was dehydrated and still managed to serve my country in the final.

 

[10sion]

Sri Lanka - 67 after 10 overs
Pakistan 68 - So close!

 

[JaDed]

Nicely played. Lol.

Who is that commentator?

 

[JibranAnsari]

That's chacha speciality.

He will let his partner take risks. But once he is settled...he gets out lol.

Rizwan too did the same in first 5. 14 off 20

 

[BleedGreen]

Need 15 runs off next over

 

[10sion]

Rizwan will be like I spent the night in the hospital because I was dehydrated and still managed to serve my country in the final.

He si done more for his country than probably all of us in this thread combined.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Honestly r u seeing the game tell me don't u think it's kinda slow right now?

Hasaranga's deliveries are sliding onto the bat very easily .

 

[Major]

Chacha needs to attack now, last ten overs 10 rrr

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Iftikhar please, hit some boundaries

 

[sweep_shot]

103 runs are needed from the last 10 overs.

Can go either way.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Chacha hit or get out, pathetic batsman in the history of t20 cricket.

 

[t_kaay]

I'd usually back Pakistan to get 100 off the last 10 with wickets in hand. I'm confident we gonna do this

 

[Markhor]

It's gonna be one of those vintage heart pounding Pakistani run chases isn't it ?

 

[Marooned]

Hasaranga's deliveries are sliding onto the bat very easily .

Alright then

 

[Asif321]

Without Rizwan our batting is joke .

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Chacha hit or get out, pathetic batsman in the history of t20 cricket.

Followed by KS

 

[Sarwar89]

It's gonna be one of those vintage heart pounding Pakistani run chases isn't it ?

Like Nehru cup final

 

[Marooned]

It's gonna be one of those vintage heart pounding Pakistani run chases isn't it ?

Don't think so. We r in the middle of nowhere.

 

[JaDed]

Waqar

thanks, I have heard him on cricket shows but his commentary is lol meh

 

[saeedhk]

Cha Cha is a pathetic batsman.

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on!

 

[James]

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on Chacha hit some sixes

 

[JibranAnsari]

One of them needs to take risks.

 

[Anis Shivani]

Both playing run a ball cricket.
Expecting to score 10 an over for the last 10 overs as usual.

 

[Major]

come on ifti takes some risk

 

[t_kaay]

Couple of big overs and the whole equation changes. Have faith guys

 

[jnaveen1980]

Karuna is a trundler. Pak can target him.

 

[JaDed]

Man South Asian fans are awesome, always excited to see games as families, not including the notorious middle-eastern cousin.

 

[Major]

is this that Nagin bowler?

Wonder if Lanka win, will they be doing hte nagin moves?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Abay yaar if you want to play iftikhar get us back malik and hafeez.

 

[shah_1]

Ifti is such a shambolic batsman

 

[sweep_shot]

Karuna is a trundler. Pak can target him.

Yeah.

Lankan pacers aren't that great.

 

[BleedGreen]

Problem is both are going for singles where one of them (chacha most likely) needs to go after the bowling and hit some boundaries

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan playing for his 50

 

[jnaveen1980]

In Australia this approach may not pay off.

 

[BleedGreen]

That 2nd ball to chacha was begging for a 6 and chacha taps it for a single

 

[Marooned]

Couple of big overs and the whole equation changes. Have faith guys

Yeah not gonna happen.

 

[shah_1]

Absolutely pathetic from Ifti

 

[sweep_shot]

In Australia this approach may not pay off.

It should be flat and bouncy in Australia.

 

[JaDed]

In Australia this approach may not pay off.

Hope not if not we won’t be winning.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Gautam gambhir and wasum akram. Sboozefest.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Problem is both are going for singles where one of them (chacha most likely) needs to go after the bowling and hit some boundaries

He is not capable of that

 

[daytrader]

50 partnership. Time to get a move on, lots of batters left

 

[JaDed]

Gauti always having an opinion.

 

[jattafridi]

Enjoying tuk tuk

 

[Marooned]

This guy just bowled like 6 slower balls and these 2 guys still couldn't manage pick it.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan has no excuse to keep taking singles now. He is well set , should hit or get out.

 

[BleedGreen]

In Australia this approach may not pay off.

We need to change our middle order before we get there.

 

[topspin]

Absolutely pathetic from Ifti

I feel like I'm watching Misbah with a mask on.

 

[LegendAli]

Gautam gambhir and wasum akram. Sboozefest.

cringworthy everytime Akram calls him gauti ahaha like hes your bff or something.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It should be flat and bouncy in Australia.

That is even more risky for Pakistan given their batsman's woes against short balls.

 

[imshally81]

6666

 

[Major]

Chachaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Marooned]

Rizwan has no excuse to keep taking singles now. He is well set , should hit or get out.

Both actually.

 

[BleedGreen]

74/2 after 11.

Seriously need a couple of 12-15 run overs now

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

666

 

[JaDed]

Manjrekar has a good commentator voice but absolutely no insight, and six

 

[10sion]

Finally! Much needed 6!

 

[imshally81]

And now 444

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

And a 444

 

[Markhor]

Our approach is stuck in 90s - accumulation for majority of innings and accelerate only at the end.

Finally, Ifti with some boundaries.

 

[BleedGreen]

Chacha comes to the party!
