^^ I think Umesh Yadav inclusion should help India (He gets carried away sometimes though). there is bit of help for seamers in this pitch, in the last overs noticed good movement here and there and Rohit is already gone so time for Pujara to do what he does best in these conditions.
Stats time  Lets see what happen this game |

Well, to be fair to Ashwin and Jadeja, it was the Indian batsmen who lost the game. The Indian spinners had bowled well, with Ashwin taking 3/63 and 4/119, while Jadeja returned 2/74 and 3/65. You can't blame them, They took wickets but lost the battle against Steve O'Keefe. he alone took 12 wickets on the same match( 2 fifer in each inning) not counting Nathan lyon's and Steve smith's contribution, but agree on your point that it was Indian batsmen who failed miserably. I have heard about Pandurang Salgaoncar and he is perhaps the most infamous curator in India.  He's interesting personality for sure, i remember watching his clips where he was literally cursing (In Hindi and Marathi ) BCCI and Media for all the fuck ups. |

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. Its early to say but couple of standout players might find direct entry in regular Squad for sure and rightly so. 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 They are not looking very confident after all. Especially their captain behind the stamps. You guys should stop bashing him. he's nice fella |

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  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. |

Well these are some impressive achievement for Australian Nation. ?I hope the girls keep going and break the record set by the boys.
I think they are going to surpass Men's record soon, they are unstoppable right now. My best wishes for this girl. She must be a legend in India? People used to call her (Lady Tendulkar) and Yeah she is Legend. she used to be only famous face in Indian Women Cricket, but now most of the girls who are part of the Indian team are well known to the crowd. |

Couple of news from Women ODIWorld record!Austraila Women team sets a new World Record of 18 consecutive wins in ODI, previous record was 17 ODI wins, Which also belonged to Australia. In Men's ODI longest winning streak is 21, Again its belongs to Australia. Mithali Raj First Woman to Complete 20 Years in ODI CricketShe started playing for India when she was 16 yo and scored a ton on a very first game, she's also the only Women Cricketer who played the 200 ODI. When talking about Men cricket. there are only 3 players who played the game for 20 years. S. Tendulkar : 22 years and 91 days S. Jayasuriya: 21 years and 184 days J. Miandad : 20 years and 272 days |

But I guess this time the Indian management will ask the curator to make a track that gives no assistance to the pace bowlers.
The Curator, Pandurang Salgaoncar has a bad reputation and he's not talking to anyone as far as pitch is concern. Debut Test Match in this ground didn't go well for Indians. Australia humiliated Indians and won the game, Interestingly Ashwin-Jadeja duo lost the spin battle to Steve O'Keefe in the same match. The mystery of the Pune pitch |

@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 ? Because it took me 15 mins to figure out how to quote relevant info from article with using my shitty phone only to find out that you posted same news before me. |

Wisdom 101 "Losing is never good, especially against a team that is without their major players, and it's an eye-opener," Misbah said. "We can see deficiencies in every department: bowling, batting and particularly the way we got out against spin, and also our death bowling.
"There was a clear difference between the two teams. Despite being inexperienced, they were disciplined and did everything right, while we completely failed to implement our plan." That's What Misbah has to say about Akmal and Ahmed Shahzad's selection. surprise to see this statement coming from the Selector who happen to be a head coach too. don't know what message they are sending to young cricketers. Let's hope both senior players justify their place in the squad with contribution. "Both these players have performed well wherever they've played in the last one year. Ahmed's performance in PSL was remarkable enough for a chance, while Umar, whichever format he played, was among the good ones,"he said. "It's unfortunate in our circuit, there is no other batsman in T20s who had performed better than them. Players who have performed in domestic surely deserve a chance, and that's why we offered them.
"If they weren't able to perform what can be done? Obviously I am answerable, but to build up a team you need to do some experiments to get the answers. When you play someone in international cricket with a couple of games, you understand the utility of a player. We need to show some patience and wait for the next series to find answers."

Is Chief Selector Mishab backing both of them for T-20 World Cup? You can not predict anything LOL We will see. He's Chief Selector and Coach so he's the only reason Akmal and Shahjad are in the squad. i don't follow PCL so not sure if both of them are top performer or not. IMO instead of them he could give chance to younger players. We have only one year for T-20 World Cup so clock is ticking.. (18 Oct 2020) ~Edited Cute Image~
We have seen enough of him in WC and now here in T20. Need a new Captain now.
I doubt that if anyone else is ready for captaincy. ~snip~ I've noticed that the presence of Umar Akmal not only damages the team by his own pathetic performance but also damages the team by completely evolving the behavior of Babar Azam ( maybe because these two are cousins?). This is news for me  |

What the hell happened with the Pakistan, they were supposed to be a powerhouse when it comes to T-20. i am sure they didn't lose because they are hospitable. 2 consecutive ducks for Umar Akmal and below average performance from wanna be Virat, Ahmad Shehjad. why PCB went back to old players when their previous T-20 squad was winning the games for them? Is Chief Selector Mishab backing both of them for T-20 World Cup?

Anyway, 4th wicket gone. Hope they will restrict Sri Lanka in under 180 runs.
Let's hope Mohammad Hasnain bowls terrific 20th over otherwise pakistan going to chase 180+ runs target. so far so good, 4 balls to go. Edit : lol here you go, 4 +6 |

Okay Ladies and Gents
We have one T-20 match today, Where Sri Lanka is looking for series Win and on the another hand Pakistan eyeing on revenge for last humiliation. when this tour started no one in their right mind gave any chance to Sri lankan team but boy they surprised everyone with their performances. let's see if SL are capable of series win because no one remembers a good performance much longer if you are not winning a Series.
Edit : Sri Lanka opt to bat

Don't get surprise with Shami's performance, he has a history of taking wickets during the second innings when situation demands. his strike rate confirms this statement. If you want to thanks then give thumbs up to Captain Kohli because sometimes he thinks out of the box and India lose the opportunity but this time he tossed the ball towards shami. India didn't had much choice though . |
