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.

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

Many of you are predicting 1:1 series draw which means that Srilanka is all set to win the last ODI. Think again. They lost first 5 wickets quickly which means they lack good batting. They did manage a good partnership in the late middle order but this miracle cannot happen in every match. So i still think Pakistan have better chances of winning the last match too on paper and on the ground too.


Bro, you need to read a context before replying. i suggest please check the last 8-10 response. We are not making any predictions for the next game but discussing possible scenarios according to SL performance.

Pakistan is my pick for tomorrow. Anyone is risking any money?
Yeah, Pakistan should win this, but Some players from the Sri Lankan team gave some promising performance in the last game, which is good and if the Odds are juicy then one might think about taking a risk.

There is not much of a difference between predictions and possible scenarios of who can win the next game.
I will stick to my point of view and will go in the favor on Pakistan for the tomorrow match. One more thing to consider is that Srilankan team consists of mostly new players and they will not be able to handle the pressure. This only will favor the home team.
Seeing the previous match performance, apart from Sh. Jayasuriya and Dasun Shanaka the rest of the Srilankan team was booked under 50 only. Don't expect them to do any different in the next game.

As i told before Pakistan will surely win today. They have managed to make 100+ runs with the loss of no wickets. Srilanka did not send their A team and when you send your B team to play against an International side then you should forget about winning.

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.

Pakistan is cruising quite comfortably to a victory. They are comfortably placed at 91/0 after 14 overs. The required run rate is less than 6 runs per over, and they are going to get to the target quite easily. Sri Lanka can take some positives from this match, but in the end a loss is a loss. They are not doing themselves any good by performing poorly on a continuous basis.
Well still they have a long way to go however if they can make it then I think I will have a good day for me LOL

Pakistan to score most four
Pakistan to win
Two singles and also two doubles combining with India with each :-P

By the way, Sri Lanka still has chance to get something from this match.

Honestly speaking, I was not expecting much from this Sri Lankan ("B") team :-P

I think that now the advantage is with Pakistan. As I had posted earlier, any score less than 300 is achievable for the Pakistanis. They are playing at home (after a big interval) and the conditions suits them. On top of that, the Sri Lankan bowlers haven't yet got any chance to acclimatize with the local conditions, as they had arrived less than a week ago.

Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are in good form, and during the 2nd ODI they were able to score 300 plus (8 runs more than what Sri Lanka scored today). But there is some weakness in the middle order. If the Lankan opening bowlers (Nuwan Pradeep/Isuru Udana) can get either Zaman or Azam early, then they'll be having a chance. Else, it is going to be cakewalk for Pakistan.

300 looking very much possible but Amir can ruin the party for Sri Lankans. not surprise if in the death overs Pakistan manage to restrict them close to 290-295 runs.

No doubt, Chase is going to be a interesting one. Chokers or Strong?

Man you should start your own tipster thread  Grin

SL 297/9. Amir did well to limit the run flow on one-side while Riaz was not able to do the same.  Superb batting from Shanaka, enjoyed every bit of it.  I hope they win this match.
