*Official* Match #8 — Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka

Well I've been made to look very stupid here after saying SL would win following Babar's dismissal. Lanka didn't finish their innings at all well but this attack is pure powderpuff. Probably needed 400 to be safe. May win a couple of games late in the tournament as the pitches take increasing turn but it's looking very bleak after this. Has the feel of a tournament-defining disaster.

Nor did England, is that a theme for this competition? Does it get harder in the last 10 overs?

Rizwan been as good as Babar in the short formats the last few years. Can’t count Pakistan out while he was still in.

Difference was England looked to get it on after Malan got out yeah they had heaps of cheap wickets most of them had 10-20 with a good strike rate . Sri Lanka looked like they didn’t have much intent at all had guys batting with a strike rate under 80 the last 10 overs

I still think the bowlers should of got this done after the two early wickets they still might but looking unlikely now
 
When Kevin O'Brien took his team to that WC Wr chase against England, it felt very much like the underdog story.
Now this, Pakistan chasing down 345 is a steady assault on a bowling side that's lost any semblance of their full potential.
