Pakistan are favorites.

If Pakistan win, they would become the most successful team in Hong Kong Sixes history (6th trophy).

I hope they win this one but SRI LANKA is a good side.

Sri Lanka have won Hong Kong Sixes only once. If they win, it would be their 2nd trophy.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is golden opportunity to win this tournament.

Those were totally different teams, however Pak do seem a bit better but can also choke big time.

Brilliant observation

Toss Update:

Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to field first

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Asif Ali gone 2nd ball.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Talat gaan too, blessing in disguise.

 

[BouncerGuy]

So pathetic Asif Ali fails agains against a good bowling line up...LOL

 

[BouncerGuy]

Talat gaan too, blessing in disguise.

He is in the same leagues of pathetics as Asis and haider and Iftikhar are.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Great second over courtesy Rana and Akhlaq

 

[BouncerGuy]

This team is a bigger choker than any other team in finals.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Rana and Yameen gaan, could very well be game over

 

[BouncerGuy]

Just when you needed Asif and Akhlaq the most, these guys choked... TALAT is pathetic as always so taking is name is no necessary.

 

[Shafi]

Match is over. 40/4. Talentless team to be honest

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Just when you needed Asif and Akhlaq the most, these guys choked... TALAT is pathetic as always so taking is name is no necessary.

Akhlaq abhi bhi hai

 

[BouncerGuy]

Akhlaq abhi bhi hai

Sorry mean to name faheem

 

[mango_bite77]

Asif the captain material in crucial games

 

[G0rmintAunty]

51 all out

 

[BouncerGuy]

Akhlaq should smash atleast 10 more sixes here

 

[mango_bite77]

All out 53, should be chased in 2.3 overs by SL

 

[G0rmintAunty]

SL seems to have become our bogeymen in tournaments of late.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sri Lanka always comes good in the knock outs when it matters the most.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Oh, didn't know all 6 batsmen could bat.

 

[mango_bite77]

Oh wait, I think the last batter can still play with other player just runner.

This is street cricket rule we followed

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Could be a fighting total if Akhlaq can add another 30, 90 odd would be somewhat defendable

 

[BouncerGuy]

at least 30 needed in last over to have some fighting total on board

 

[BouncerGuy]

Akhlaq gone... Pakistan's chances gone too. 72 all out

 

[mango_bite77]

72 needed, cakewalk for SL

 

[G0rmintAunty]

72 AO.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Oh well, if we are to lose to anyone might as well be SL bros. Well done.

 

[BouncerGuy]

it is not possible to defend this total here

 

[BouncerGuy]

Luck is not with Pakistan atm...

 

[G0rmintAunty]

SL looking to do this in singles.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Excellent over from Shahab.

 

[BouncerGuy]

30 balls 68 runs... still pretty easy.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Only 5 given in the first over, we can win this if we leave 37 runs for Asif to defend in the last over.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fahim should have taken that... pathetic fielding

 

[BouncerGuy]

What a pathetic over from Yamin Sahab

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Shahab 6 runs in 10 balls so far

 

[BouncerGuy]

Shahab could not have bowl better than that...brilliant

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pak needed that wicket...

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Another wikut...

 

[G0rmintAunty]

3rd down but need SL 14 in 10 balls

 

[BouncerGuy]

another chance gone

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sri Lanka wins the cup....Brilliant bowling from them otherwise it would have been a big total...

 

[kingusama92]

Low IQ Pakistani batting cost them the game.

 

[BouncerGuy]

 

[Cricket Warrior]

seems like Pakistan has become the bunny of Sri Lanka... they r keep losing knockout games against them from a while now.

 

[JaDed]

Congratulations to Lanka thank you for not making it the worst day

 

[Mohraheem]

I blame Misbah and Chacha for this lose
