Not actually. Both team ended up making same number of fours even including the fours from by runs. This was the 2nd time I have seen a tie score in number of fours out of 3 times I placed bet LOL. What do you call it? Co-incident when I bet? or unlucky LOL

However Pakistan to win was a winning bet and with the I have one single and one double gone waste.
Why bet on boundaries? Everyone knows that it is a 50-50 bet and you cannot realistically earn from this particular prop bet in the long term unless you are really good at predicting boundaries though equal number of boundaries is quite rare.

Betting for Sri Lanka to win the match would be suicide as they are not having a good team in this series, Pakistan playing in their home ground have all the confidence in the world and if Sri Lanka is able to score that much in the first innings, Pakistan has more talents to chase any score and that too with their weak bowling line up and they have won the match with a couple of overs left.
Betting against the majority is what excites many gamblers and you can risk a small amount to win big in these cases though this should be done only now and then. Sri Lanka had a few chances there, but they failed to capitalize.

Those who bet on Srilanka for today's match maybe very happy until the first half as they have thought Pakistan will never be able to chase 298. But now they would be worried.

Glad to see that weather is clear now to have some matches and the Pakistan crowd to enjoy cricket after a long long time.

Sri Lanka surely is a poor team filled with inexperienced youngsters who had not so impressive records on age group games. While Pakistan is a mix of experienced and youngsters.
Even the current age group team of Pakistan is promising compared to others. Pakistan just needs much more exposure and the current series would start a new generation of cricket inside Pakistan.

It was a very close match, and in the end Haris Sohail and Iftikhar Ahmed rescued Pakistan from the jaws of defeat. Sri Lankan bowlers came under a lot of pressure during the final overs and they couldn't cope with it. They gave a spirited performance, but a 2-0 series loss once again speaks poorly of them. Sri Lanka needs to make use of these opportunities and win matches, if they want to be regarded as a cricketing superpower once more.

Sri Lanka lost the match in the first 20 overs, when Fakhar Zaman and Abid Ali smashed the bowlers all around the park to build a 100+ opening partnership. Nuwan Pradeep and Wanindu Hasaranga led the fightback, but it came too little too late. It was a good win for Pakistan. A lot of people call them as chokers, but this time they rubbished that label.

The only question that arises in my mind yet again after today's match: Why the hell didn't PCB select Abid Ali in the world cup, and why didn't they choose Haris Sohail for all the matches of the world cup?!? Another match, another great performance by these two; excellent gameplay and techniques. Fakhar might have scored good again, but seriously, I never like the way he plays. I think Fakhar Zaman should be replaced by Abid Ali in ODIs; Abid Ali and Imam-ul-Haq will probably make some nice and smooth openings.

I hope Pakistani batsmen also make up their mind. The match is becoming tighter now and another wicket or two will make Srilanka the favorites.

Common Team Pak we need to win a home series after 10 years  Cool

I need five more 4s from Pakistan (Sri Lanka 26 and Pakistan 22 so far) and if they win that's better :-P
@Royse777 Hopefully you won your bet this is 2 successful chase by Pakistan in last five years 20 times they lost.
Yes, it is a winning day for Royse777. Pakistan has played good as the first match. 297 is really a big target to reach on the second innings. Pakistan from the starting had a good performance with every player contributing good. This is the reason for Pakistan to win the match losing just five wickets and few balls left in the innings.

IMO, calling yourself unlucky when you actually haven't lost anything would be quite stupid. Though you didn't win anything on that bet, you didn't lose anything either too, right? Wink

One single won and anther double is depending on the Indian bowlers.

I think I will get the amount back that I invested originally.

But since it is Pakistan, I would say that right now they have a 90% chance of winning this match at this point.
I made up my mind LOL
Pakistan will win the match.

It's easier even if they want to go for a T20 :-P

PS: Fakhar Zaman gone :-D

Would Pakistan win this one or we will see a batting collapse ? Wink
They should be winning however it's Pakistan bud LOL

Well.. they just lost another wicket (that of Babar Azam). Pakistan needs another 116 runs with 8 wickets in hand and more than 20 overs remaining. With any other team, I would have given a 100% chance of winning the match. But since it is Pakistan, I would say that right now they have a 90% chance of winning this match at this point.

Maybe T20 matches are the ones where we can go with the teams whose odds are higher.

Going with favorite or the underdog, in T20 both are risky so it worth taking the higher odds bu I will not bet blindly just like dice or casino games.

The T20 series is going to be a bit more competitive and it will be interesting to see whether they will stick with similar odds for SL for that series also.
In T20 any team can beat anyone in their day since there are not much to play cricket. I mean cricket is a game just not to hit the balls but to defend it too :-D
20 overs, 11 batsmen and 10 wickets - it's too many to lose LOL

But then it becomes more risky to bet on a T20 game as even the stronger team has chances of losing and you can never be confident before the start of the match that you bet on a strong team and you will surely win. Maybe T20 matches are the ones where we can go with the teams whose odds are higher.

Well.. it is going to be the future of cricket. People no longer have 8-9 hours to watch an ODI match. Also, nowadays most of the revenue for the cricket boards is being generated from various T20 leagues, such as IPL and BBL. Also I don't agree that the importance of bowlers is reduced in T20. Players such as Rashid Khan and Sandeep Lamichhane were discovered from T20 leagues.

I did not expect much from Sri Lankan team but I was surprised to see them to score that much run against the Pakistani bowling attack.
Pakistan is hosting cricket after a very long gap and as expected the pitch are batsman friendly and so is the reason even Sri Lanka was able to score runs and Pakistan started really well chasing a big total and until there is any spell by the Sri Lankan bowlers it is going to be an easy chase for Pakistan and during these situation Malinga will be missed as he is the only bowler who is capable to take 4 wickets in 4 balls  Cheesy.

I thought of placing a bet, but backed out at the last minute since the risk was too high for me and looks like I made the right call since the Sri Lankan bowlers are getting thrashed by Zaman and Abid at the moment.

Did not expect such a bad bowling performance and it looks like Pakistan might be able to wrap up this up pretty quickly unless the Lankans take a few quick wickets. I wonder who bet on Sri Lanka with such risky odds.

Pakistan is going to win this match, but the odds for Sri Lanka were really good. It was worth taking the risk, as Sri Lanka was given odds ranging from 5.60 to 6.00 by various sites. Anyway, today the Sri Lankan supporters were unlucky and might have lost money betting on their team. The T20 series is going to be a bit more competitive and it will be interesting to see whether they will stick with similar odds for SL for that series also.

If you would place a bet before the match to start then you would have a good chance to cash out some money since the odd for Sri Lanka was down when hey scored 290+ runs.

Odd for Sri Lanka is tempting @5.60
I am curious to know if anyone has taken the chance to pick Sri Lanka. If anyone did that cashing out early was already making profit LOL
