1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

Afridi to score a 20 balls 50 to win it for us

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

I think Umar Akmal should come down order who have excellent record while batting on No. 6 and he can hit long shots in the end.

Anyway so far they are going well from last 2 overs

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

Yes you are right

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

Sohaib Fifty on 44 balls

35.2
Malinga to Sohaib Maqsood, FOUR, fires a low full toss on middle and he has whipped it with stunning power all along the ground. There were two men running after it, but even the man on the boundary can't pull it back. Vital fifty for Maqsood!

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

If they score with the RRR then there will be no need of big hittings.

Last 3 overs they have scored 26 Runs.

Now its power play and if they lost no wickets and go with the 9 runs per over then it will not be very hard task for them. Afridi and Wahab are there.

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

They must get at least one boundary in each over.

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

200 up

36.2
Kulasekara to Fawad Alam, FOUR, slapped down the ground! Offers up a length ball that had enough width to free the arms. Fawad takes full toll

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

Excellent stuff from Fawad :clap: This guy proving that his exclusion was not fair.

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

11 runs in 37th over, 9 by Fawad

Nice fight by young guns

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

Malinga to Sohaib Maqsood, 2 runs, fires a yorker on leg stump and flicks it through midwicket for a couple to bring up the hundred partnership

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

super stuff by Maqsood

37.6
Malinga to Sohaib Maqsood, 1 run, full on middle, Maqsood pushes down the ground to long-on

37.5
Malinga to Sohaib Maqsood, 2 runs, low full toss on middle, loads up that bottom hand and hammers through square leg for a couple. Had to hurry to complete it

37.4
Malinga to Sohaib Maqsood, no run, that's a yorker on leg stump, Maqsood looks for a tickle past the keeper but didn't get enough on it

37.3
Malinga to Sohaib Maqsood, 2 runs, again, whips a leg-stump yorker along the ground and seems to have pierced the gap between deep squrae leg and deep midwicket. Chandimal called for it, but Tharanga hadn't head it and collides with the Chandimal's slide and topples over the boundary and goes off the field for some treatment. It was his left calf

Malinga to Sohaib Maqsood, 2 runs, fires a yorker on leg stump and flicks it through midwicket for a couple to bring up the hundred partnership

Kulasekara to Sohaib Maqsood, FOUR, spots the slower ball early, moves inside the line and lifts it over the covers for a magnificent boundary. Pakistan are nosing ahead here

Re: 1st ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Hambantota

hadi: "100 partnership at over 6 an over between 2 players out of which 1 is known only as a nudger and plays a slow (yet effective) paced innings, and the other who loses his mind after attractive 30-40. so 100 among them at such a rate is outstanding!" Can they finish it though, 54 needed off 36 balls
