Re: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - T20 World Cup 2012 1st Semi-Final
I honestly think Malinga’s only weapon is the “butta” yorker…which sometimes is even misdirected to middle / leg instead of off/middle - specially when he bowls to right handers.
All Pakistani batsmens who are in form with the exception of Nasir are right handed. They simply need to play the yorker for single double and when on leg, then do what they want.
As for Nasir, he needs to watch Malinga since Malinga will be like a fast outswinger for him. He already showed his weakness for outswingers (like most lefties) when gave aussies a chance off Starc but was dropped by Maxwell.
As for mendis, just remember he has 24 balls max. Don’t take a chance on him, don’t charge him, get 24 runs off his 4 overs and be satisfied.
Same thing that SL will think about Ajmal or Raza.
Inshallah Raza could be X factor for Pakistan for all remaining games.
