230 to win for lankans

 

[mastermind_quad]

230 is the target

 

[Deewana Mastana]

230 to win for SL!

 

[Free Hit]

230 target for Sri Lanka.

 

[tauseefm]

England is going to win this match. They have scored enough by looking at the SL team turned up for this match.

 

[Strike!]

England are 20 runs short, Unless Sri Lanka have a brain fart like SA did yesterday, This should be a cakewalk.

 

[Torpedo]

all up to Sanga now

 

[Free Hit]

lankans have been very sloppy in the field, might cost them the match

 

[BaaliSoda]

Not a sure match winning score but definitely a decent enough score to defend under lights of the slowish premadasa wicket.

 

[Spiderguy252]

230 should be good enough on this wicket.

 

[Free Hit]

strike wont be a cake walk, this is different scanario. crowd, pitch and bowling pressure for lankans to deal with

 

[Free Hit]

trott played well but should have got out early

 

[Free Hit]

Mednsi and malinga have been good, murali expensive for his standards

 

[mastermind_quad]

not a easy chase ...much will depend on again Sanga & Mahela

 

[Imran's Tiger]

lol @ Attapatu on sky sports it seems like he is wearing lipstick

 

[Maula Jutt]

If Lanka lose today, they have their fielding to blame.

 

[Free Hit]

attapatu is very good talker

 

[BaaliSoda]

If England can get the wickets of Dilshan, Sanga and Jayawardene within first 70 runs then they should be in a driver seat. Premadas under the lights always helped medium pacers (Like Maharoof and Kulasekara) so expecting some swing the air for English bowlers as well.

Looking forward to an interesting chase

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

230 is not an impossible score to chase. All sri lanka need to do is keep wickets in hand and they will win easily.

 

[adnan yasin]

Can Srilanka do the south africa today ?

 

[UP]

I would say 70-30 Lanka.

 

[pakcricketfan]

England will squeeze through to the semis..

 

[adnan yasin]

England will squeeze through to the semis..

I hope so

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Afridi_Fan]

Big swing.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Beaten.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Leg Bye. 2.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Swann to start.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Some spin straight away.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dilshan off the mark.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Beauty.

 

[malakian]

Swann already turning the ball more than any of the Sri Lanka spinners.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Slow outfield. They take 3.

6/0 in 2.
