Lanka has very long tail even this pair can also hit sixes
47.6
Wahab Riaz to Perera, FOUR, that's a low full-toss on the pads, and he gets four more with a sweetly timed pick-up shot over midwicket
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
Perarra 49* from 29 balls
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
Sri Lanka have done here what Pakistan did in the last game, a remarkable recovery after a shaky start. Can Pakistan chase 310+/-

48.4
Junaid Khan to Perera, SIX, low full-toss on leg stump, and he's backed away and somehow got under it to launch that over long-off
48.3
Junaid Khan to Perera, 2 runs, full-toss outside off, and he plays a checked drive wide of long-on

Even in the middle they lost 3 quick wickets but still managed to reach 300
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
Junaid Khan after having good time in Test having very bad time in ODI. Pakistan seriously needs a pacer for ODI to stop runs in last overs.

49.2
Wahab Riaz to Perera, SIX, wow! That was short, it followed Perera as he looked to make room, and his bottom hand fell off the handle as he played the pull, but he's still got enough power on it to clear the midwicket boundary
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
49.5
Wahab Riaz to Perera, 1 run, OUT, that's another full-toss, at bail-height, and he pulls it away down to deep midwicket. They go for a second, but the throw catches him well short at the keeper's end. Goes to the third umpire but there was really no need for it. Well played, Thisara!

Wahab Riaz to Malinga, OUT, and he sends down the perfect yorker that crashes into the base of off and middle as Malinga backs away, looking to make room
SL Malinga b Wahab Riaz 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
6.30pm Sri Lanka looked to have lost their way a bit when they lost two wickets and scored only 24 in the batting Powerplay. But Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera took full toll of some wayward death bowling to power Sri Lanka to 310. Pakistan leaked 80 runs in the last six overs, and they'll have to bat out of their skins again if they are to win this one.
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
The innings has ended half an hour behind schedule. In the old days, that would have meant a couple of overs chopped off Pakistan's chase. I wonder whether Misbah will cop some sort of fine for the over rate, even with all the interruptions for wickets and bat changes and decision reviews.
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
They should send Fawad top in the order along with Sohaib and Sharjel and Umar down in the order for fire works.
6.35pm A sobering stat for Pakistan. No team has successfully chased 300 in Sri Lanka.
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
Sri Lanka has put up an impressive target for Pakistan. Pakistan has the batting lineup that can easily reach the target in the 50 allotted overs. Good luck Pakistan!

Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
I think they should open with Shehzad and Sharjeel
You need a brisk start when chasing such a big total
Sohaib should bat higher than Misbah
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
310 looks a tall order for us
ps. Pakistan has a history of doing badly in series deciders
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
Misbah and Hafeez should bat a long time for Sri Lanka to have a fighting chance.
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
So two matches back to back when pakistani bowlers were thrashed for more than 100 runs in last 10 overs and the captain/bowler is totally confused to contain them. Thats a bad planning. Atleast the coaches should come to rescue with some tips.
Pakistanis should come out strong without coming in pressure. Thats the only way to take it all the way
Re: 2nd ODI - Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Hambantota - 26th Aug
Hafeez 50* off 28 ball… :k:
Hafeez thinks he’s afridi 
hilarious that misbah telling him to slow down from the Pavillion
