*Official* Match #8 — Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka

[trundler]

Where on earth is @trundler to tell us about this woeful bowling display?

Still a chance to haul it back a bit mind

Was in class sadly and my phone was dead. I did not expect to see Hasan Ali saving us from the rest of the bowlers though. What the **** happened here

Patherinna will be selected for a long time now considering he basically a champions league winner

 

[Daemon]

Hasan Ali 2 wickets away from a neck strain

Didn't you see him get humiliated the other day?

Good effort this so far from SL.

Hasan Ali was getting smashed too. And then Mendis hit him for 2 consecutive sixes and went for another to make it 3 in 3 but holed out at the boundary.

since that wicket of Mendis, Hasan Ali has bowled really well. Great line and length.

 

[trundler]

Half tracker galore. Shadab has been awful

 

[Andyhere]

To beat Pakistan just thrash Afridi don't give him wickets in the first PP, simple! So over reliant on one player.

Just play out Afridi for 3-4 overs. In fact just play out 7-8 overs without loss and the bowlers start panicking and begin to bowl so erratically. I feel they are not used to 50 over bowling; far more accustomed to 20 overs with 3-4 overs each.

No consistency or patience or clarity. Seem to not have a plan and bowl all over the place after there is a partnership.

Lanka have batted Pk out of this. This bowling is trash.

Our bowling is pretty awful too. We depend on a couple of 20 year olds

 

[BazBall21]

Wedagedara Sadeera Rashen Samarawickrama has arrived too.

 

[Punk01]

FFS this always happens , Pakistan start tournaments like **** and then hit God mode towards the end and usually its teams like SA that have to suffer , its always great to face Pakistan early lol

Don't worry Sa will win against pak easy

Pak has got nothing rn

Ineffective spinners

Shaheen speed reduced from 145+ to 130s

Their best bowler Naseem shah out of the wc

Their tuk tuk batters

The only positive is Saud Shakeel, classical batting and scores at 110+ sr

 

[Darwin Award]

Mediocre innings from Shanaka is over.

They should've kicked on more once he arrived.

 

[Punk01]

That's a great pressure catch

GUYS DO U KNOW MENDIS WAS NOT OUT, FFS

Boundary Rope was Pushed back maybe while fielding , the 3rd umpire didn't even check properly

Sad AF

Sri Lanka taking their foot off the pedal in the last 8 overs or so..

Just dot balls or singles sprinkled out.

If they do indeed lose this match they'll regret it right here.

 

[trundler]

350 is chaseable on a deck like this for non mental midgets

Dude Pak can’t chase 280+, this is 60 runs too much for them and with two overs to go.

 

[White Ball]

Sri Lanka seems to be a boggie team for Pakistan

Against this attack too. But Pakistan aren't a monster-scoring team.
