They will lose that too. So lets keep playing indefinitely until India wins one and gets to the final. We are keen to be in the title clash match.

Nah, gotta be Pakistan.
SL lost pretty badly to Afghanistan. Pakistan has lost one game and even that was closely fought.
Good tournament all round tbh, very competitive.

Whatever it takes!!!
Pak favorites. The only issue is their India centricity. Its very possible they take the foot slightly off the pedal and SL are dangerous enough for it to cost Pak dear.

Nah Pakistan is usually a good knockout/finals side unless the opposition is Australia.
The only reason I am a little low in confidence is lack of runs from Babar/Fakhar the middle order is not good enough to keep hiding their failures

I do think there was quite a bit of dew. Chahal was wiping the ball a lot in the Pak game and the towels have been ever present. I actually think the chasing teams have not been batting as well as they could have and the new ball has been doing something in the late evenings when teams batting second start their innings. They lose a few to the new ball and then struggle to build but otherwise I still think batting second is a HUGE advantage there.

I did think it was a pretty bad idea to be rioting in the stadium in the UAE after the Pak Afg match. Having lived there for a couple of years, the authorities are well known to have 0 tolerance for any sort of vandalism or violence. Seems like Sharjah police are out there arresting people by the hordes

A total of 391 people were arrested and will likely face heavy fines and deportation from the UAE along with a lifetime ban on UAE visas, as per reports.

Yeah, hopefully not. By all accounts, prison in the UAE is harsh. I remember folks telling me that it's better that one get deported at the airport than to suffer prison there. Plenty of horror stories doing the rounds back then. Not sure how much has changed, it's been more than a decade since I was there.

Russell Arnold (?) thinks Babar is batting much more freely than in the previous four games.
Babar has faced two deliveries so far.

I actually enjoyed Ravi "tracer bullet" Shastri return in the comm box given what we had to endure through this Asia cup.

The moment he decides to attack, he's bowled.

Wanindu is on a hat trick...but his quota has been met.

Me too. He's dialed down the obnoxious energy, looks like he's off the sauce too. Nice reminder that he used to be more than just a jingoistic shill for the BCCI once.
