Dear Members and Guests
The PakPassion team are delighted to welcome you back to our forums.
You will have noticed that we have re-launched the forums with a new software that we feel will provide our members with a much better all-round experience.
As with any upgrade, it will take a bit of time to get used to and there may be some issues that will need correcting. We have set up this thread
for you to report any issues that need looking into by our technicians or if you have any suggestions regarding the design and the layout of the forums.
We thank you for your patience whilst the forums were not available, but as you can imagine, a project like this takes a lot of planning, organising and hard work.
So, welcome back and happy posting!

Target: Sri Lanka needed 153 runs to win with 10 wickets remaining
By PakPassion Staff (29th June, 2015)
The home team started the day with a low total to get which cans sometimes be tricky. They played smart by sending in Vithanage rather than their usual opener Kaushal Silva with Karunaratne. He scored a quick fire 34 from 23 balls including 4 fours and 2 sixes until he was hold out a deep mid wicket of Zulfiqar. Yasir Shah then got Sangakkara the very next ball to give the team some home as Sri Lanka were 2 down for 49.
Karunatne continued to dominate the spinners and Mathews supported him well which resulted in Yasir and Zulfiqar bowling slightly flat. They continued to take the singles and get the odd boundary to remain on top. Karunaratne fell LBW to Yasir Shah after scoring his fifty but the job was almost done for Sri Lanka.
Mathews and Thirimanne finished with 43* and 20* respectively to chase down the target of 153 as Sri Lanka needed 26.3 overs to win by 7 wickets and level the 3 series 1-1.
Fall of wickets Day 5:
Vithanage 1-49 (6.6 overs)
Sangakkara 2-49 (7.1 overs)
Karunarantne 3-121 (20.2 overs)
Scores summary: Pakistan 138 (Hafeez 42, Kaushal 5-42) and 329 (Azhar 117)
Sri Lanka 315 (Silva 80, Yasir 6-96) and 153-3 (Karunaratne 50, Yasir 2-55)
Result: Sri Lanka win by 7 wickets and level 3 match series 1-1
