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

[SpiritOf1903]

What's with native Indian headdress?.

 

[t_kaay]

Yeah not gonna happen.

Let's see......

 

[JaDed]

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

He coached him during the KKR stint.

 

[10sion]

Yes Yes! get in boys!

 

[PakPremi]

Iftikhar does nothing other than support with singles putting more and more pressure on Rizwan,and as I was wroting he hits a 6 lol.

 

[BleedGreen]

What a six

 

[sweep_shot]

97 are needed from 9 overs.

They should start accelerating soon. RRR is getting too high.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Without Rizwan, our t20 team would fail to beat Ireland.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Targeting their main bowler.

 

[JaDed]

Hasaranga taken to cleaners

 

[BleedGreen]

4444 by chacha

 

[daytrader]

Why target only weak bowlers when Chacha can hit like this

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is just swinging through the line and making clean connection. I don't think ball is turning at all.

 

[Major]

is that a variation by hasranga that ball stayed low.
if that is a variation by him than that is great one ot bowl.

 

[BleedGreen]

He is just swinging through the line and making clean connection. I don't think ball is turning at all.

I mentioned it earlier. Hasaranga seems overhyped and seems to lack variety. Hes quite easy to pick

 

[sweep_shot]

14 from the over. Good over for Pakistan.

83 runs are needed from 8 overs.

 

[Saj]

Chacha waking up and realising that the RRR is now nearly 11.

 

[10sion]

excellent over.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

50 balls 85.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Chacha has long levers. So he is using his height well here with good reach.

 

[Marooned]

He is just swinging through the line and making clean connection. I don't think ball is turning at all.

Barely cleared ropes.

Not that clean afterall

 

[sweep_shot]

That six from Ifti was great to watch. Clean strike.

 

[PakFan2010]

Rizwan is the best T20 batsmen in the world.

Who else can handle a pressure chase like this?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

That took a decimal point off RRR... need a 25 run over!

 

[Ab Fan]

Hasaranga, Rashid and Shadab are the best spinners in the subcontinent currently in shorter format.

 

[Kianig89]

Asking eate too much

 

[BleedGreen]

Need a couple more big overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

I mentioned it earlier. Hasaranga seems overhyped and seems to lack variety. Hes quite easy to pick

From time to time he was taken apart in IPL as well. He is dangerous when his googly turns big. That is where he picked most of his wickets.

 

[Marooned]

Meh. Still a mountain to climb

 

[Ab Fan]

Rizwan is the best T20 batsmen in the world.

Who else can handle a pressure chase like this?

Rizwan and Asif both will be key.

 

[mrtaim3]

Barely cleared ropes.

Not that clean afterall

The elevation was a little higher but it was a clean hit.

 

[sweep_shot]

Current partnership: 64* from 52 balls.

 

[JaDed]

What’s the reason for PCT fans wearing War bonnets(Native Indians)?

 

[Rana]

43 off 41

World number 1 T20 bat

 

[Major]

rizwan batting well, chacha needs to strike more

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hasaranga, Rashid and Shadab are the best spinners in the subcontinent currently in shorter format.

Rashid hands down. Mujeeb definitely the best finger spinner.

 

[Kianig89]

Missed a trick by not sending Nawaz at 4

 

[sweep_shot]

Barely cleared ropes.

Not that clean afterall

Dubai ground is big. Harder to clear rope here compared to many grounds.

 

[Kianig89]

Next up.shoukd be Asif Ali

 

[10sion]

After 12 overs - SL 85/5 Pakistan - 88/2

CLOSE!

 

[BleedGreen]

43 off 41

World number 1 T20 bat

Great innings so far given the situation

 

[JaDed]

43 off 41

World number 1 T20 bat

He will accelerate later..if he follows the same template he has been..

 

[Marooned]

What madness is this.

 

[shah_1]

Pathetic from Ifti again after six and four

Lost all the momentum

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan are not helping it leaving it too late

 

[Major]

Rizzy need you there till 17th

 

[BleedGreen]

After 12 overs - SL 85/5 Pakistan - 88/2

CLOSE!

How is it close when we have 3 more wickets in hand

 

[jnaveen1980]

Missed a trick by not sending Nawaz at 4

Wish Pakistan had sent this guy instead of Nawaz against india His cameo completely changed the course.

 

[Ahmed216]

Go big rizzy n chaccha

 

[MSaad1237]

Chacha needs to gift his wicket now for the sake of Pakistan..

Nawaz should come next.

 

[sweep_shot]

80 runs are needed from 7 overs.

I think Rizwan should start hitting now. Many wickets in hand.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Congratulations srilanka.

 

[BleedGreen]

Whats with that defending chacha?

 

[t_kaay]

Something needs to happen now.....80 off 42. Will soon be too late

 

[Marooned]

Pathetic by both of these.

This is no longer the time for playing like this.

 

[adzzy786]

Asif should come next

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is where SL misses a guy like Malinga. His clone is not fully evolved yet. They have nobody to handle death overs.

 

[10sion]

RRR - 11.42

Man Pakistan HIT HIT HIT

 

[mrtaim3]

One of these two should try to hit every other ball now. Chacha probably

 

[Rana]

Pakistan will win this

Kyun thak rahe ho?

 

[shah_1]

Shadab is Pakistan's best player of spin is not batting at 4 is madness

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

You see why chacha is pathetic thats why, can't even rotate strike

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pathetic approach

 

[Snowflake]

Regardless of what score he end up with... He wasted the PP. We've been trying to play catch up ever since

 

[Kianig89]

78 pff 41 very tough even in 15 wickets

 

[daytrader]

Madushan back, they will probably show him 'respect'

 

[Snowflake]

RRR - 11.42

Man Pakistan HIT HIT HIT

Nope. They won't. Because they want to score their own runs. Hitting and taking risks is reserved for Asif and Khushdil

 

[Rana]

Rizwan as usual hiding from responsibility

 

[saeedhk]

Pakistan would have been a great team if it was 1990s.

 

[syd_pak]

Straight forward defensive … lol

 

[Kianig89]

End of torture

 

[JaDed]

This is where SL misses a guy like Malinga. His clone is not fully evolved yet. They have nobody to handle death overs.

Malinga is once in a lifetime bowler like Murali.. look how MI itself is finished now after his departure.

He was the reason they won the WC..

 

[Major]

CHACHAAAAAAAAAA departs :"(

 

[Snowflake]

78 pff 41 very tough even in 15 wickets

Let Asif and Khushdil do the dirty work. Rizwan will do whatever he's comfortable doing. Single and doubles

 

[saeedhk]

Too difficult now!

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha goes...Sri Lanka not dropping any catches

 

[PakFan2010]

Send in Asif Ali, no time to waste

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a poor score given that Pakistan had 9 freebie runs without a ball being bowled.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

We would have taken and throw it for 6.

 

[Sherlock]

Ifthikar is honestly just a poor poor player.
