Well played Sanga for his 50

Every run contributes to my fantasy team

[ahamedirshad123]

Should India call Chandimal back?

[Asif321]

Pakistan will beat both these teams

[freelance_cricketer]

Yayyy

Of course if batting scores 250 against both the teams i'd back Pakistan to win.

[velu]

Time to replace useless jaddu with yusuf patahn

[freelance_cricketer]

Bring on partnership breaker Suresh Raina

Open your eyes ! No Wasim or in the line up anymore

[James]

Sanga is one of the best players in the world. With him at the crease in this situation, there is only one favourite.

[freelance_cricketer]

Rr - 6.6 :d

[freelance_cricketer]

Need couple of quick wickets.

[w8in_4_0402]

Sanga needs to make sure they pik a boundary every over with the batsmen bowling.

[Justcrazy]

176 / 3

[Justcrazy]

RR is 6.68

[w8in_4_0402]

Good over for lanka 7 off it.

[Justcrazy]

178 / 3 after 31 overs

[Justcrazy]

70 off last 10 overs is possible.

[Justcrazy]

If this partnership stays on another 4 -5 overs........ SL would be nice position.

[Justcrazy]

127 from 19 overs required.

[Justcrazy]

Over throws !!

[JibranAnsari]

India need just one more wicket and it is the bag.

[Fawad2010]

RRR almost touching 7

[Justcrazy]

Kohli is

[Statsman]

not the smartest decision to give the ball to Raina, but he doesnt have much options too

[Fawad2010]

120 from 108 needed to win!

Raina still better than his lovechild Jadeja....

[Statsman]

PK!

[Statsman]

expect Dinda to play the next match replacing PK. VK, as we all know is untouchable, so he's playing anyways!!

[freelance_cricketer]

Sangakkara holds the key here. If he stays till the 40 over, this is Sri Lanka's game.

[JibranAnsari]

India should give manpreet gony a go, i don't know how good or bad he i is domestic but the guy has the talent to succeed at the highest level.

[Square Drive]

Is Vinay Kumar a ******?

Anyways, I reckon India gonna lose this as Tharanga, Kula, Maharoof, and Kapu are yet to come in, plus Thiri and Sanga currently at the crease.

[velu]

Need wickets..

If we are at SLs position we could chase 350 incase we face our own bowling

[Fawad2010]

Batting PP will give us a clear picture.

[Square Drive]

Skied for a... couple. I think Pathan holds key here, if he bowls good, India win, vice-versa.

[Asif321]

building pressure on lankan

[UP]

Hope Sri Lanka wins.

and if we face our own bowling , we will get out under 150 every time.

[Square Drive]

I'm a Tamil for today, InshaAllah SL will win.

[RamLakhan]

This bowling attack looks clueless and can be screwed anytime by decent batting teams

[freelance_cricketer]

Lankans are in no hurry, they know it's no big deal.

[Square Drive]

And all of a sudden, Indians are bowling well...

[JibranAnsari]

batting PP is the key.

[Square Drive]

And they know batting PP is still left.

[freelance_cricketer]

Kulaskera their new Viv Richards is yet to come.

[RamLakhan]

Clearly Praveen Kumar, Ravindra Jadeja and even Vinay Kumar can't be the part of our bowling unit.

On current form, only Irfan & Ashwin have looked a bit consistent.

India should have definitely opted for Dinda & Yousuf by dropping 2 of the the 3 persons mentioned above.

[Asif321]

another good game in asia cup

[qamar84]

let's see powerplay coming in

thats true..
pak bowling vs bat batting is a no contest

Fine, then I'm Sinhalese for the day.

[velu]

Dhoni made a smart move, he knew his premier bowlers weren't capable of picking wickets, so let Raina and Rohit complete a few overs from Jadeja's quota. Cheap, maybe one over extra but had part timers come on now, they'd have finished the game in 10 overs.

[velu]

[BoomBoomCricket]

Match over

[freelance_cricketer]

[velu]

[shan]

India will win this one i think.

[James]

Lankans bottling it?

[freelance_cricketer]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss

:

[BoomBoomCricket]

India win today and Pakistan win on Thursday then we probably have 2 India - Pakistan matches including the final as well as the one on 18th

[Square Drive]

Now it's up to Kapu...

[freelance_cricketer]

Massive wicket for Trundlindians.

[Square Drive]

Kula is in!!

[velu]

As I said, only Irfan and Ashwin are decent bowlers in this lineup (not top class though). We should seriously look at our bowling options (need to search the domestic)

[nish_mate]

Just be a Pakistani-we wont hold a grudge against ya

[velu]

Not sure whether its right to send kula in when 2 more batsmen are there

[Asif321]

gameeeeeeeeeee overrrrrrrrr

[Square Drive]

Thiri gone, SL gone.

Thirimanne gone

[James]

Dear oh dear.

[CalculatedRisk]

Batting PP destroyed the chase

[freelance_cricketer]

Ashwin you beauty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
