Congratulations! That was match required to have a backbone. I am happy with the team play, – not one or two batsmen having to do most of the work, strategy and the nerve displayed. If this performance can be repeated with the luck of winning the toss, Asia cup can be won by SL.
Following how Pakistan is grinding down Afgans. Can SL overcome similar situation on Friday against Pakistan unless they have won the toss? It seems the final also will be Pak Vs. SL.
17th over: 6 W 6 1 1LB – 18th over: W 1LB 1 1 1 W 19th over: 1 W 1w 1 6 W 20th over: 6 6 PAK won.
SL has a serious task. Would have been marginally easier with AFG since already played twice. The pompous SL donkeys on YouTube better pray until the match for SL to win the toss.
