I have got tomorrow's paper boys...
Just when it looked like Pakistan was about to win, they lost their star batsman Haris Sohail.
Pakistan showed their true color in the end 
, after loosing the first wicket they played really well and scored runs without loosing much wicket and now they have lost 6 wickets all of a sudden and it looks like an impossible total as all their batting power are in the pavilion, Sri Lanka is ready to white wash the series and they are bowling really well and their fielding and catching were impressive as well. Just when it looked like Pakistan was about to win, they lost their star batsman Haris Sohail. Wanindu Hasaranga got him out after a well made 50. Pakistan needs 54 runs from 29 balls, and the required run rate has now climbed to 11.3 runs per over. I would say that right now Sri Lanka is having the upper hand (you guys can disagree with me, but I am saying because I have seen Pakistan choking during similar situations earlier). Imad Wasim and Sarfaraz Ahmed are out there, and both of them are not in good form at the moment.
110/5. Just 15 balls and more than 40 runs to score finally a sigh of relief. I think the problem is with the top order of Pakistan who are unable to play as per the pace of game or maybe just sheer badluck for them that they were put to bowl first? I never expected Pakistan would have been clean sweeped in this series. I think the ahmed Shahzad and umar akmal experiment failed terribly for Pakistan. Misbah-ul-Haq has a lot of questions to answer.

I was faster than you LOL Check my last post :-P
Glad you were faster than me but now Pakistan is playing according to my plan . They are playing carefully and taking the score closer to the target and now they reached over 60 runs in 10 overs but the most important part is that they never lost a wicket again 
. I am still telling you to cash out now and wage a bet for Pakistan to win the match . I am waiting for any pool game so that i can bet again and have some fun. 
Sri Lanka finished at 147 and Pakistan would need 148 runs for a consolation win. But had they fielded properly, then they would have been chasing a total in the range of 1250-130 rather than 148. I thought that Usman Shinwari bowled well, but his figures gives an impression that he was horrible out there (4-0-43-0). Too bad that in the bowling stats we don't include the easy chances put down by the fielders while that particular player was bowling. Mohammad Amir was impressive as always and Imad Wasim was very economical. The only thing that went bad for Pakistan today was their fielding. Their bowling (both spin and pace) was very impressive.
Not sure why PCB loves Usman Khan Shinwari so much; he pretty much always proves to be a disaster for the team. He doesn't seem to be improving with time at all; there are much better alternatives available like Junaid Khan and Husnain (I liked his bowling in the last match, even though the overall figures at the end of his bowling spell weren't so good) and PCB should choose them.
BTW, I believe Sri Lanka will lose this one.
8 Overs and already 51 on the board. I think it should be an easy win for Pakistan. Today Pakistan made a very good team selection. Though Pakistan is always unpredictable anything can happen. Even if they win today it won't affect this series as Sri Lanka already won the series. But this may boost the confidence for the selected community and the team for the next series. I think they should give Babar Azam rest from T20s he is better at ODI and Test Matches. Squad in T20s should be different from test and ODI matches but it looks like all the players playing T20 series is from their regular ODI squad.

Edit:
one opener is gone for Pakistan.

Previously you bet for Pakistan and Srilanka Won, Today you bet for Srilanka, Pakistan looking to win.
Hold your horses' mate. The match ain't over till the last ball is delivered. Pakistan has a history of making a mess out of small run chases and i can bet this won't be so different...
I don't know what is wrong with Pakistan today. Their fielding was just horrible. They dropped many crucial catches and gave away extra runs. Sri Lanka is now 134/5 with two overs remaining. I think that somewhere around 160 is possible.
Pakistan usually does not have good fielders and you will see dropped catches in every series and majority of the time they spill simple catches which makes you think that something fishy is going on. Sri Lanka will white wash the series if Pakistan is not able to make an attempt to perform in this match and naturally they will be under pressure and they have already lost their first wicket before putting a run on the board.

one opener is gone for Pakistan.

And the collapse of gigantic proportion continues for Pakistan. They are already one wicket down while chasing Sri Lanka's 147. My bet for today was on Sri lanka after watching their performance in first two matches and I became even more confident after they chose to bat first once again. I think this is more or less going to be a replica of the last two matches. Let's see if the top order could survive the swing of bowlers.

Well I finally decided to go with Sri Lanka.
However in this match Pakistan can expect something. The Sri Lankan innings could be worse if they were not missing some catches. They just missed another one.
I am going with Pakistan to win the match, they need to score 148 runs to win the match and i placing a bet on Pakistan to win, i am banking on Babar Azam to score some vital runs and some cameo big shots from the middle and tail end batsman and win the match However in this match Pakistan can expect something. The Sri Lankan innings could be worse if they were not missing some catches. They just missed another one.
, lets see how this goes and hopefully we will see a few sixes from Imad Wasim

Does not matter. Pakistan now have 9 wickets left LOL
First ball striked in the stamp and we have their one down batsmen Sohail.
0 for 1 wicket :-P

You guys should stop bashing him. he's nice fella
LOL I remember this world cup match :-D 
~Snip~
The current performance of srilanka team will create the panic among their "A team". They would be fearing to get their positions replaced by these "B Team" players.Well I thought they will have hard time to score 150ish but it seems that they can even score 160 runs.
Weal link Usman Shinwari bowled excellent last over. He was expensive overall but nice to see well directed yorkers in the end
~snip~
Well, Pakistan has again lost the toss, so this means they will lose the match ?
Yes..Noo..Yess..no..Yess..noo ...leave it...Don't bet...too risky

23 balls left for Sri Lanka. They might manage more 35 to 40 runs to give a total of 150ish.
Well they failed to make 150. Its look like Pakistan will win this match even though they were terrible in the field.
Previously you bet for Pakistan and Srilanka Won, Today you bet for Srilanka, Pakistan looking to win.
Next time when you bet tell us, we will bet opposite of yours.
I don't know what is wrong with Pakistan today. Their fielding was just horrible. They dropped many crucial catches and gave away extra runs. Sri Lanka is now 134/5 with two overs remaining. I think that somewhere around 160 is possible. If the Pakistanis had fielded normally, then this total would have been at least 10-15 runs lower and they would have won the match easily. But now Oshada Fernando is making the maximum use of the dropped chances and he is smashing the Pakistani bowlers all around the park.
Well I thought they will have hard time to score 150ish but it seems that they can even score 160 runs. Yes the fielding is the worse. Miscatch, misfielding what could go wrong with this Pakistan team.They are not looking very confident after all. Especially their captain behind the stamps.

Sri Lankan is looking for clean sweep. ( edit : 5 changes for Srilanka, damn)
And recently one stat caught my eyes is Pakistan won 29 games out of 33 T-20 games since 2016 T-20 World Cup, that's very impressive number. no wonder they are way ahead in comparison of other teams as far as points are concern.
The current performance of srilanka team will create the panic among their "A team". They would be fearing to get their positions replaced by these "B Team" players.
This is the commitment when the players know that they have to perform in order to gain a position in the main team.
