Leave the game, experience wise Pakistan team is far superior than this Srilankan team and we cannot even say that both of them are equal on paper.
This Pakistan team is much better than the touring Srilankan team as they have not sent the full team because they are experimenting playing yet again in Pakistan and the Pakistan cricket board and the political system must have paid a huge amount of money to the Srilankan board to tour them.

Pakistan has world class bowlers and batsmen in their team. Name any player from srilanka whom who is popular ? None, because this is Srilanka B team.
You do not need to be popular to be a match winner in T20s. One good innings could change the match and a good couple of overs can also make a huge difference in this format, So anything is possible.

The odds are tempting as the T20 matches can be closely contested but Pakistan has more experienced players and they are playing with their best players while Srilanka is not coming into the series with their best one. Even if the Srilanka best eleven play these series i doubt they will defeat Pakistan in their home series.

From what we have seen so far in the series, I would say that the gap between the two teams is not as large as many of us would have feared. The third ODI confirmed this. It was a very closely contested match, and the Sri Lankans had their chances. If they had a bit of luck, then they could have pulled it through. Still, it is an encouraging sign for them, going forward to the T20 series.

Pakistan players are a formidable force when playing at home, but their flaws were definitely exposed in the last match which will boost Srilankan player’s confidence going ahead in T20 series. However I don’t expect Srilankan team to cause an upset because they’re inexperienced, and had they been playing at full strength then I would have placed small bets on them to cause an upset.
Current Sri Lankan team cannot do any upset as we watch in 2 ODI's in third ODI we watch some hype because they want some entertaining cricket and we have now in Twenty/20 we will have some different planing from both sides but still I believe these could be not going in favor of Sri Lanka.

The first match was a one sided affair, but the second match was a close one and Sri Lanka could have won it had the luck gone their way. And the most encouraging sign for Sri Lanka is that they have discovered a couple of young players, who could become regulars in the fist choice XI.
If you wait for luck to win a match then it is a completely different factor altogether  Wink. Yes the Srilankan team should see this as an opportunity to find new promising young players who could replace their legendary players like Jayawardene, sangakkara, Murali and they are yet to fulfill that. I know those legendary players cannot be replaced but they could find talents.


if the gambling sites continue to give odds of 5.50-6.00 to them, then those who bet in favor of SL will get good returns even if they lose two of the matches and win at least one. I have a feeling that the T20 series is going to be more evenly contested.

Or you can just double your next bet. There are still T20 between Sri Lanka and Pakistan and Pakistan has hard hitters that generally goes for a boundary than for runs.
Pakistan are always better when it comes to T20s so the odds for Pakistan are low. Even the odds for 4s are 1.54 for Pakistan 2.7 for Sri Lanka and 10 for draw. That's why I'm thinking of betting for sixes. Pakistani batsmen loves sixes.
I do not advise using the Martingale strategy (Doubling after every bet) since I got burnt using this strategy in the past(Dice, Sports bets etc) and props bets make it even more riskier overall.

Instead, betting on the moneyline is far better in comparison and the max limit is much higher while playing moneyline bets. Use martingale only if you are really good at predicting these props bets. Just a suggestion from my side.

I am not familiar with the current Pakistan T20 team members but they always had power hitters and Imran Nazir, Abdul Razzaq and Afridi comes to mind when it comes to their power hitters but now a days i am not following their cricket that much as they usually play in neutral grounds but they also have a T20 league like India and i am sure they will have a good team for T20 internationals and with the second string team Sri Lanka has i am betting on Pakistan to win the series.

The Sri Lankan team may be a second string side, but they had performed better than expected during the ODI series. The first match was a one sided affair, but the second match was a close one and Sri Lanka could have won it had the luck gone their way. And the most encouraging sign for Sri Lanka is that they have discovered a couple of young players, who could become regulars in the fist choice XI.

Now coming to the T20 series, I believe that Sri Lanka has a very good chance of staging an upset in at least one of the three matches. If the gambling sites continue to give odds of 5.50-6.00 to them, then those who bet in favor of SL will get good returns even if they lose two of the matches and win at least one. I have a feeling that the T20 series is going to be more evenly contested.

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

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

Betting does not suits you. Most of the time, the bets gone opposite for you. Even those bets which are sure shot seems to go wrong.
Getting same number of fours is pure bad luck when if you had not bet, i am sure Pakistan would had more boundaries.  This bad luck type thing happen with me too and the only way i get rid of it, is to stop betting for few weeks.

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.
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. Glad to see that weather is clear now to have some matches and the Pakistan crowd to enjoy cricket after a long long time.
Actually he is saying this because maybe Sri Lanka was never thought off as a competitive team for this series. Infact after the 2nd match they proved themselves why they couldn't be trusted. Even today odds were so low for sri lanka so that I think was the reason why people bidding for Sri Lanka would have been happy after watching them scoring 298. Even after that I think Sri Lanka gave a better fight today and atleast played like an international team unlike the last match where they were saved by just their two lower order batsmen.

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.

I have seen a lot of people making a fortune on spot betting because they know how to read the nerves of the game. Not exactly in 50 over matches but in T20 some people can predict wickets and boundaries pretty well than others maybe from the stance of the batsmen or their body language or maybe how they had played the last two balls.

A wonderful half-century by Abid Ali and Finishing another valuable half-century by Haris Sohail did make it easy to Pakistan to seal the series 2-0 in Karachi, It's really good momentum for the Pakistan Cricket,  After a long time, they hosted a home series and won it against Sri Lanka, Most important thing is that, Some of the talented players did a tremendous impact on this series and undoubtedly their opening partnership was really amazing. On the other hand, an Opening partnership of Sri Lanka also built a handsome total, It's mandatory to mention the name of Danushka Gunathilaka who made a hundred and Dasun Shanaka scored a fast fifty claimed a big total. Whatever the result, I congratulate on both of the team.

Had Sri Lanka won the match, then you wouldn't have posted this. It was a tight match, and could have gone either way. Sri Lankans proved to be competitive during the first ODI (but still lost the match by a big margin). It was clear that they had a chance of beating Pakistan. Also, it was very much true that the gambling sites had heavily underestimated Sri Lanka, giving them odds ranging from 5.5 to 6.0. And the results prove the close nature of the match. At one stage, it looked as if Sri Lanka were on the top. And Pakistan scraped thorough, with just 10 balls (and 5 wickets) to spare.

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.

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.
