[Khabri420]

What a shot from Misbah! Where did that go? Nowhere!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Boundary for Rana, straight down the ground

 

[classic]

280 on the card now

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Under lights we should be able to defend this.

 

[rash]

60 runs only 3 chokay sharam kar kuch to mar lay issed:

 

[Juggernaut]

FOUR from Rana ... Rana should hog the strike

 

[hasanb]

With misbah f'ed off strike rana connects for a FOUR

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wide ball follwed up with

 

[Big Mac]

Rana :*)

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Rana doing a wonder job here.

 

[Khabri420]

Oh gosh, misbah does not deserve strike because he has not hit a six! shame on us supporters!

Yes, shame on you!

 

[dirk diggler]

thankfully rana retains the strike

 

[Juggernaut]

Under lights we should be able to defend this.

I'm praying to God we do

 

[Deewana Mastana]

8 so far with 1 ball to go and Misbah on strike

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good fielding by Mahela 3 runs

11 off the over

 

[FM87]

Who are all those with Pakistani flags? They don't look like Pakis.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

269 for 6 in 49 overs

 

[hasanb]

3 runs means misbah is on strike next over.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

need at least 10 now.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sri Lankans are dynamite in the field!

 

[Rana]

Yes, shame on you!

shame on you, you speek as if you are asking for a slap, munafik!

 

[McBoom]

Beware McBoom you just offended Rana.

Rana Naved??

Can't really understand the mentality of a player who starts his innings with a strike rate of 100 but ends with a strike rate of 80. Granny M is selfish.

 

[Juggernaut]

280 should be the target ... but i'm still praying for a 20 run over

 

[classic]

we should get at least one big 6 in the last

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Come on Rana get us to atleast 280 InshahAllah

 

[Khabri420]

shame on you, you speek as if you are asking for a slap, munafik!

Lulz. A follower of MGA calling me a munafiq. )

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misbah gets four off the 1st ball of the last over

FINALLY its Misbah!

 

[Khabri420]

Rana Naved??

Can't really understand the mentality of a player who starts his innings with a strike rate of 100 but ends with a strike rate of 80. Granny M is selfish.

No, a user called Rana.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Misbah FINALLY gets a ball away for a boundary! Clubbed straight down the ground

 

[ehjaz]

3 runs means misbah is on strike next over.

he in on strike

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Now I'll like to say 285! InshahAllah

 

[FM87]

280 would be good score.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Need 280.

 

[dirk diggler]

that was out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

274 is the score with 4 legal deliveries left

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rana out

 

[Khabri420]

Misbah has finally woke up, with a four!

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Big blow........

 

[Juggernaut]

Rana gone ... hopefully they crossed

 

[dirk diggler]

rana goes

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'll be happy with 280 now!

Well played Rana!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

33 off 29 balls for Rana with 2 big hits!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rana gone, caught by Tharanga in the deep. Our luck has ran out on us in the last 10 overs

 

[dirk diggler]

oh crap this over will now peter out

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Now it depends on Amir .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Roa is here!

 

[Khabri420]

Great little cameo from Rana! Thanks to him we have gotten to the 280 mark. If it was up to Misbah we'd be at 220 now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He's scampering already!

 

[McBoom]

No, a user called Rana.

Why the %#&? would I care if Mr Rana gets offended or not? He can cry me a river for all I care.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Dot ball...................Duub ke marja.

 

[dirk diggler]

wat the hell is misbah doin, stand still man

 

[Khabri420]

Rana gone ... hopefully they crossed

It won't matter! Roa can't be any worse than Misbah!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Misbah?!! What the heck?! Every run is important here!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 runs from Misbah! Good shot!

 

[Rana]

Lulz. A follower of MGA calling me a munafiq. )

dont start this into a religeos debate

 

[Juggernaut]

FOUR from MISBAH

 

[hasanb]

The highest chase on this ground was 271 by India...the bad news is they did it in less than 40 overs.

[PapaBear]

Ranjeet just busy praising the catch ...

 

[Khabri420]

:aamir

Why the %#&? would I care if Mr Rana gets offended or not? He can cry me a river for all I care.

Exactly my point

 

[rash]

big blow rana out....misbah cant even cross the 30 yds circle

 

[ehjaz]

misbah................ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3rd umpire in action here

 

[dirk diggler]

out on the last delivery

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Roa is gone! Run out

 

[Wassixpakistani]

279 is the target to chase for Lankans.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan 279 for 8 off their 50 overs

 

[hasanb]

Hes out, SL need 280 to win.

 

[12thMan]

They send Rao before Amir or Gul? Okay it is only 2-3 balls and he might not even face a ball

 

[Juggernaut]

we got 279 ... 280 to win .... under lights its gonna be difficult but not unattainable ... we're gonna hve to bowl really well

 

[dirk diggler]

bout 30 runs short, but u never know, this would be the highest chase if SL r 2 b successful

 

[classic]

i am happy with that score well done pakistan under the circumstances

 

[classic]

well played misbah..

 

[PapaBear]

Target is 280, will be highest chase at this stadium, its gonna be tough for SL. OK Guys get Sanga out first ball.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan end up with 279/7 in their 50 overs. A major screw up by the lower-order after the middle-order set-up the game pretty nicely. Misbah was struggling to get the ball away in the last 10 overs, had it not been for Rana we would have ended up with something like 250 or 260

Defendable but one would favour Sri Lanka at this time

 

[Khabri420]

It's a winning total, but SL has a strong batting lineup. We should have gotten 300. Poor use of powerplays

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I'm still wondering , Is anything below 300 defendable here .

 

[Rana]

well done pakistan!

Well done Misbah for seeing us through till the end!

 

[Khabri420]

Misbah started off well. Scoring a run a ball, but then realized what he was doing and went back to normal mode.

 

[Khabri420]

well done pakistan!

Well done Misbah for seeing us through till the end!

Misbah for Man of the Match and Captain!

 

[shane]

I'm still wondering , Is anything below 300 defendable here .

Yes, in fact 280 has never been chased on this ground. Mind you, that's what we said about Dambulla...
