Pak to win this, sri lanka all over the place

 

[vcs]

Hopefully SL win this.

SL have no hope. Pakistan will post 300+ if they bat first. If we bat first our idiots will be all out 220 in 32 overs.

They way this WC is going I won't be surprised if SL somehow pull out a win here

Sri Lanka should lose every single game from now on. Two reasons, (a) SLCB and (b) randycricfreak.

Pakistan already seem like peak Pakistan this tournament though (not just in their inconsistency, but how exactly they've succeeded and failed) to the point where they could smash India and England but lose to Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. I hope they manage to put these teams away though because I think there's a bit of a clear gap between the quality of the top four and WI/Ban/SA and it'd be nice for Pakistan to bridge that gap a bit to make the race to the semis interesting. I'm not buying the West Indies hype unfortunately.

Wow, no one giving a chance to the Sri Lankans. Malinga still has it in him to blow the opposition for 4 for nothing. Issue is, the other 10 (except Kusal Perera to an extent) are utter waste.

Would suggest WI stand a better chance of bridging that gap right now rather than being in the Bangladesh camp. They did just pile up 400 against NZ. Warm up or not, Kiwis still had their best bowlers on the field.

Gonna rain all day, apparently. And I have tickets

 

[Andy1993]

Yeah forecast for Friday everywhere is horrendous

 

[cricketgateway]

I don't know why they are interested to increase the poll rate for Pakistan.

 

[wrongun]

This game could turn out to be DL dud with a low run chase considering the weather. Team that wins the toss has the upper hand,

 

[trundler]

If there exists any justice in this world, SL should be crushed.

Check the calendar, mate. Literally cannot happen.

 

[mr_mister]

I've got cricket fever atm hopefully this isn't rained off

 

[Daemon]

it was definitely not raining in England when mr_mister first joined this forum

 

[Burgey]

Rain sodden draw.

 

[CricAddict]

Will be detrimental for Pakistan's semifinal chances if and when this is rained out. Each of the 8 teams will be expecting to win against SL and Afghanistan.

But it is June and that will be Pakistan's hope.

Actually that will be a blessing in disguise to kick out this lazy, under performing lot.
