Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Pakistan won by 6 wickets

[MenInG]

More than a decent target - Pakistan will need to draw on a lot of courage to get to 256

 

[Bullet Drive]

I am sure we have got this in the bag. Come on boys. This is a very good ODI team in my view, especially the batting line up.

The only thing I would do is a few changes in batting order, but I am relatively sure we will win this.

 

[Bullet Drive]

12 mins till start of play..... I think....

 

[BleedGreen]

people are taking this so easily but forget the new rules of cricket where scoring in last 10 overs ain't easy anymore

 

[Executioner]

Pakistan have a good chance. Openers need to step up.

But the question is, 256 really that low with the new rules. With 5 fielders in last few overs, no batting powerplay and no catching fielders, I think it would be normally be 275

Only concern is Pakistan are the worst chasers in the world after Zimbabwe. Most teams would chase it with ease against a mediocre bowling attack.

That doesn't really effect as much. Its only 10 overs, and that extra fielder would mean 10-15 runs less and we all know that isn't much.

I like your predictions but in my opinion it's a difference of 20-25 runs, which in the old world is around 280. Chasing ~280 has never been easy for Pak

Weakest Pakistan middle and lower order I've seen in a while, doubt they can chase this.

 

[Man Of Steel]

So its gonna be #tailender opening with Shezzy boy? or Professor will open?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Should be starting now??

 

[Zeshan547]

Bismillah, and Here we go,

 

[BleedGreen]

Pakistan have only chased down 1 score of 250+ in Sri Lanka.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Its tailender.

 

[BleedGreen]

Azhar and Selfie opening

 

[Justcrazy]

malinga bowling

 

[BleedGreen]

I think if we stay solid against Malinga we win this

 

[Bullet Drive]

Actually wanted Mukhtar to open with Azhar, but lets see how Shehzad goes.

Sohaib Maqsood & Fawad were the stars that day.

 

[Justcrazy]

Not a big target , just need solid partnerships.

 

[BleedGreen]

beautiful drive by Shezy

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar is superb. How can so many people not rate him. Great batsman.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Pakistan rotating the strike early.

Let's see if they can keep it up

 

[BleedGreen]

6/0 after 1 over

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar should anchor. Shehzad should attack

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dot balls....

 

[Justcrazy]

One of the openers need to attack , so the required rate decreases.

 

[Zeshan547]

I am worried more about the real tailender aka pakistani tendulkar.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yes Azhar is a fantastic captain.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dots started.

 

[uberkoen]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shot Azhar!!!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shehzad the tailender playing his natural game wasting balls before getting out. Azhar cant afford to get out.

 

[Zeshan547]

Some people here really believe shezyy is better batsman than azhar, height of insanity.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great shot by Shehzad.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

You yourself were hating azhar only a few days ago

 

[Bullet Drive]

Just relax man.

Both are batting well now. Stop comparing.

 

[PCP_1]

SL crowd doing a BD here.

 

[BleedGreen]

Good solid start

 

[Zeshan547]

Thank God the useless doing something useful, between why dj playing indian music in sri lanka vs pak match being played in lanka, wonder how many sri lankan would understand that song, "me tu avein avein lut gaya"

 

[Justcrazy]

16 after 3 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

majestic.

 

[Man Of Steel]

You yourself were hating azhar only a few days ago

One word: Hypocrisy

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Shehzad is looking good mA

 

[BleedGreen]

My fav song is on. "Angreji beat de"

 

[MarkCooper]

Malinga bowling 135kph with a belly hanging over his trousers.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar is vital to this run chase , he needs to stay at least till 35th over.

 

[BleedGreen]

Shot! wow.

 

[PCP_1]

Shehzad on song today.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad's game has changed since last time he batted in ODI.

This is his first ODI since WC!

 

[Square Drive]

Yes Shehzad!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad getting real square on.

 

[BleedGreen]

These guys lookin good

 

[Man Of Steel]

Such a contrast between Shehzzy boy and #tailender style of play, One is majestic and other one is ugly.

 

[Zeshan547]

You yourself were hating azhar only a few days ago

i agree that azhar is also a limited batsman specially in test, but after his come back in Odis he is doing fine, and i never said shezyy is better than azhar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good thing there isnt any movement.

shehzad needs to know that you can olay shots on front foot too.He never comes fully forward.

 

[Justcrazy]

Malinga taken off.

 

[Abdullah719]

Thisara 'Marshall' Perera has been unleashed. Insha'Allah, we will avoid his fearsome bowling and not allow him to take a six-fer this time.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Perera is superb vs PAK.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Yes Azhar! Come on Boys! InshALLAH we will win

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wonderful shot

Another slap on the faces of haters.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Good start from both Azhar & Shehzad

 

[Justcrazy]

Solid start so far , Pakistan on course for a win here

 

[D/DAhmed]

Such a contrast between Shehzzy boy and #tailender style of play, One is majestic and other one is ugly.

One has 50+ average and other one has 34 average

 

[Bullet Drive]

Both bats on 12

 

[Moe]

Such a contrast between Shehzzy boy and #tailender style of play, One is majestic and other one is ugly.

No need to be rude, Shezzy also plays some classy shots

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Good quick single

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Is Mukhtar playing today?

 

[Abdullah719]

Absolute filth by Malinga. )

 

[PCP_1]

SL bowlerd should just bowl wide and let our batsmen get themselves out.

 

[Zeshan547]

Before getting carried away with this shezyy inning we should remember how useless he have been in recent previous ODIs and tests, and secondly i am no shezyy hater, but just fed up with his talent talk like that of UA, but if he can really turn it on and be a good modern opener i have no personal vendita against him. And wish him best of luck.

You're making it too obvious bruh, keep it subtle if you want better results.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali

 

[Markhor]

Good sporting pitch, tinge of green and a bit of turn. Just need to bat sensibly in this run chase, 256 is a gettable total so keep the RRR under control.

Nice running there.

 

[PCP_1]

Malinga uncle burned out after the IPL stint and too much cake.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Malinga wth? if it were an IPL match, he would've saved it #hypocrite

 

[Bullet Drive]

Malinga looks v unfit

 

[PCP_1]

Batsmen wanting to keep it even stevens. 8/8, 12/12, 16/16

Well today might be the day you will change your mind after witnessing a masterclass from Shehzzy.

 

[Logical]

Is having a tummy a new thing for fast bowlers?

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Very Good Running!
