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.

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...
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

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 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.

This is the commitment when the players know that they have to perform in order to gain a position in the main team.

Did you notice that the stumps for today's match is painted pink and lots of pink cards in the crowd. There's a reason for this.
Pakistan needs to win this final match, else it is going to be a huge disappointment for their fans. They have waited so many years for a home series and going down against a weak Sri Lankan side must have dampened their enthusiasm. That aside, I hope that more teams will be ready to tour Pakistan now, as this series went ahead without any issues, supported by enthusiastic crowds in all the matches.
But the Pakistani team selection surprises me. They have dropped Hasnain Khan!!! I thought that he played really well during the first match (4-0-37-3 in the first T20 match). They have also dropped Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal, but I was expecting them to be dropped. Usman Shinwari comes in, and I hope that he can add more venom to the Pakistani bowling attack.

@UmerIdrees : lol
I failed to understand why you laughing for me ?
Is that my team lost to srilanka, or the article reference you gave above or any other thing ?
I always use my laptop to post and never tried with my phone.
I will wait for the toss and to see the official list of the XI today. It's really risky to bet in favor of Pakistan. At least my betting history with them is not good at all.
From the 2nd match I can tell that Sri Lanka looked way better team than Pakistan.

That is a better option because we never know what is the team composition and the team they had in ODI and T20 are different and the players who performed in ODI are not in their T20 squad, the main reason that our betting history cannot be that great is because they perform like champions one day and then they play like club players the other day and i remember i too lost some bets just like you during the world cup when Pakistan played some incredible games which we never expected I will wait for the toss and to see the official list of the XI today.

Let's see how they do in the next match. This time I am going with Sri Lanka by the way unless I see any change in the squad.
Since you are predicting Sri Lanka to win this match i am going with Pakistan to win the third T20 . I am expecting a change in the team for the third T20 and with the complete domination by Sri Lanka in the first two matches and the huge pressure from the Pakistan team management and the crowd will put pressure on the players to perform better in the third match and might win the third T20.I will wait for the toss and to see the official list of the XI today. It's really risky to bet in favor of Pakistan. At least my betting history with them is not good at all.

It is beneficial for everyone. The T20 format brings in the crowd, the sponsors and the revenue (from sponsorship, as well as from the sale of the broadcasting and streaming rights). The matches last for 3 to 3.5 hours, which is more tolerable compared to 8-8.5 hours needed for an ODI match. Therefore it suit the fans as well.
The reason i prefer International matches in cricket is simply because i am a cricket fan who used to watch only International cricket matches when it comes to football i only watch world cup and then i watch all the club matches. In Asian countries all the cricket matches attracts good crowds and that is not specially for T20 but for ODI too.That said, the retirement of AB de Villiers had nothing to do with the T20 leagues. He had a well publicized altercation with the management during the semi-final of the 2015 CWC and it was the main reason why he ended his career a few years back.
If AB de Villiers had a fall out with the cricket board it is only because there are leagues around the world where he could play and if you are not aware of that he just joined Melbourne stars to play in the Big Bash. If there is no other option to play and make money he will not have a fall out with the cricket board . This is from his autobiography:
de Villiers was the captain back then, and this scandal had a very negative impact upon him.
This might be a political situation and we have seen these kind of quota being implemented in many countries like Zimbabwe and South Africa . we have to get rid of these kind of issues, the only thing we have to understand is that selection process should be strictly on the merit of the player and not on the basis of the skin color. If we start picking players on the basis of color then do these buffoon characters say that NBA too needs white players and not just black players and have a distinction Quote
So what had happened? Had Vernon, who was officially classified as coloured, been selected ahead of Kyle, who was officially white, to ensure there were four players of colour in the semifinal? Or had the decision been made for purely cricketing reasons?
de Villiers was the captain back then, and this scandal had a very negative impact upon him.
