Pepsi Asian Series Final

With their victory in the final preliminary game of the tri-series, Pakistan head into the final with great confidence. It is indeed a battle of the powerhouses on the cards, with both Pakistan and Sri Lanka playing outstanding cricket for the most part on their way to the final.

Sanath going that slow? Sri Lanka must have thrown it.

Scored 8 off 33 balls and was dropped once off Mohammad Asif. Aside from Asif, he scored a swifter 77 off 99 balls.

Still reasonably slow by his standards, the Lankans should've had that one.

Not always easy to score off of Asif. Good win for Pakistan, Nazir was impressive. BTW, will Malik be made captain from here on in?

8 off 33 is very Vaughan-esque.

That's more or less what Asif's bowling does in the domestic Twenty20s that I've watched.

Ja, he assumed the captaincy three games ago.

Would've thought Jayasuriya could adjust a bit better than that and improvise. Good to see Shoaib Malik's first series as captain result in a win.

Better batsmen than Jayasuriya have struggled to score against Asif in the past.

TYpical cameo with the bat for Afridi.

Sux Pakistan won, not a great fan. Shame Jaysuriya got strangled to score..... wait, that's a bit -too- close to home right now.
