🏏Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, Super Fours, 5th Match, Asia Cup 2023 🏏 - Page 79

Pakistan pacers in Asia Cup 2023

First three matches: 68.3 overs, 24 wickets at 12.95, SR: 17.1, ER: 4.54

Last two matches: 52.2 overs, 3 wickets at 116.33, SR: 104.6, ER: 6.66 (all three wickets to Shaheen Afridi)

It is seven minutes past one, but the Colombo crowd is buzzing. A stunning run chase and Charith Asalanka held his nerves at the end. Shaheen Afridi tried his best to make a match out of this picking two wickets in the penultimate over, but the target was always in sight. The chase was set up by Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanla who added 57 off 60 balls for the second wicket. Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama then got together adding 100 off 98 balls. There was a brief collapse but Asalanka kept his cool to take Sri Lanka into another Asia Cup final. And for everyone asking about the 252 target. It was adjusted due to DLS method.

Ab hum final sukoon se dekhenge

Probably miscalculation

And you always choose ur specialist bowler over the part timer

No idea Iffy was doing good, Shadab was being hit.

I think more of a miscalculation he might have thought spin will work.

Anyone who thinks the health of ODI cricket is at peril has clearly never been to Sri Lanka. Well beyond midnight and thousands continue to celebrate in the stadium, and millions all around the world. Celebrating not only a superb Sri Lankan win, but also celebrating the unadulterated emotions that only live sport can bring to life!! Time to catch a break, it won’t be an India-Pakistan final, but Sri Lanka have earned their way here and the defending champs seem in no mood to relinquish their crown. We’ll be back tomorrow and Sunday

Excellent game of cricket, which ends in Sri Lanka qualifying for yet another Asia Cup final. They will meet India in the final on the 17th. But before that there is another game left, with India meeting Bangladesh at the same venue tomorrow. We will be back for that as always

I won't mind BD winning tomorrow if batsmen do well

BD's batting has been a disappointment. They bowl well but batting not so much

Ye log abhi tak hamari team ko samajh hi nhi sakey

Phir bhi girte padte (like last T20 WC) we will reach the SF in the WC too

Know Pak's team really well

Yeh jeeta hua match haar jaty hain toh kabhi haara hua jeet jaty hain. Kabhi haara hua match jeet ky pass ly ky haar jaty hain

They are No 1 ODI team for a reason as they give thrill matches.
