South Africa Women vs Pakistan Women

The South Africa Women's team won the first two ODI matches with excellent performances. But in today's match again we saw poor performance from South Africa women team. The team has given a target of only 186 runs. A win in today's match would have clinched the series 3-0, and avenged the loss in the T20 series. Nadine scored the highest 60 runs for the South African women's team. Every bowler in Pakistan performed well.

Pakistan collected 102 runs in 23 overs, losing only one wicket. Collecting 84 runs in 27 overs is not a difficult task, as Pakistan still have several experienced batsmen. Pakistan women team will win today's match easily.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka
 In the team match, Pakistan batted first and set a target of 252 runs in 42 overs. Pakistan team batsman Babar Azam got out for 29 runs in 35 balls. Fakhar Zaman got out for 4 runs in 11 balls. Pakistan team batsmen did not bat very well. Now bat  Sri Lanka came to the field to score 16 runs in 3 overs. So far Sri Lanka has not lost any wicket. Sri Lanka team has a high chance of winning in today's match. If Sri Lankan batsmen can perform well in batting then this run can be easily crossed.  can win

The first innings of today's match was just finished, and the target from Pakistan was very good. Rizwan hit 70+ runs which helps for Pakistan win. This is an important match for both teams because whoever wins today's match will qualify for the final.

Zaman Khan play their first ODI today against Sri Lanka so let's see Zaman Khan what will do.

Pakistan didn't get off to a good start and almost ended their hopes of getting back into the match, but from that position, Pakistan played an exemplary innings after rain break. Rizwan's excellent batting has been able to take the entire innings in a reliable position. However, there is no score as reliable in cricket. If Sri Lanka perform well in this important match then it is not unusual for them to win the match. On the other hand, Pakistan also has no option to win. Today's match is very important. Will Dasun Shanaka's team achieve that goal or will Pakistan be able to prevent them from achieving that goal? All in all, the match has become very exciting now.

Chasing a target of 252 runs in 42 overs, Sri Lanka quickly lost a wicket. After a long time, Kusal Perera returned to the XI but failed to increase his innings. This Sri Lankan batsman got an unexpected run out in the end, raising the hopes of the Sri Lankan fans. He was becoming a threat for Pakistan before his dismissal, with Kusal Perera being run out for 17 runs early in just 8 balls. 

Pakistan's total in 42 overs reached a respectable level. Md Rizwan batted very responsibly in this match and he batted in the end.
The equation of this match will gradually become difficult for Sri Lanka because the more Sri Lanka plays the dot ball the more their RR will increase which will put pressure on them to score runs and because of that pressure they will make mistakes and Pakistani bowlers will want to take advantage of that opportunity.
Given the target given by Pakistan in 42 overs to Sri Lanka, Pakistan can win this match if their bowlers can bowl well.

Yeah. Pakistan definitely have the advantage here, but it won't be easy for them since Sri Lanka is playing well at the moment. A single wicket fell unluckily implying that their bowlers need to ball better.

Samarawickrama and Wellalage are the key players to target if you ask me since they are in great form recently.

The target of 253 runs in 42 overs is not a big target. Sri Lanka needs to score around 6 runs per over to win. And from the beginning of the innings, they are batting at decent run rate Sri Lankan players. Kushal Perera is run out. Still, Nissanka and Kushal Mendis are batting well. Sri Lanka collected 57 runs in 9 overs. Mendis scored 17 runs off 15 balls and Nissanka scored 19 runs off 31 balls.

Both teams still have a chance to win the match. The Sri Lankan team will win if they don't lose quick wickets. The target is not too big. But I doubt if the Sri Lankan batsmen can bat responsibly. Although there are several good batsmen in the Sri Lankan squad, their performances have not been consistent.

Pakistan has managed to set a strong total, even though they lost wickets regularly. Now, it's up to Pakistan's bowling to determine the outcome of the Asia Cup, but at the moment Sri Lanka is in a strong position. They just continue batting steadily without losing wickets. There's a good chance Sri Lanka can reach this target, but things can change quickly in cricket.

Where the match is right now it looks like a walk in the garden for Sri Lanka team to win it. Required rate is 6 and they have 8 wickets in hand. Best is they start to accelerate now itself on atleast run a ball if they lose wickets the incoming batsmen will still get some time to get settled on the pitch, otherwise if someone will have to start hitting immediately it could become a mess.

I thought the Pakistan team is very strong and they will be the champions of this year's Asia Cup. But my assumption was wrong. I am very disappointed with Pakistan's performance. They have very talented and experienced bowlers in their squad. However, their performance is poor. Today they set a target of 253 runs in 42 overs. Even then, the team will probably lose this match. The performance of the bowlers is not good. Also their fielding is very bad. Pakistan will not be able to defeat the Sri Lankan team if they play like this. Sri Lanka need 85 runs in 14 overs. Sri Lanka lost just two wickets. The match is completely under the control of Sri Lanka.

You can't predict the Pakistan team they can do things that nobody can think of. In against of, India they lost the match by a very poor margin but now against Sri Lanka they set a goal of 252 runs which I think is a big challenge for Sri Lanka to chase. But now Pakistani bowlers showing low performance. If the Sri Lankan batsman holds the partnership for some time they will definitely win this match. However, the bowlers are trying to get down the wicket and break the partnership but they are still failing somehow they miss bowls on them which in my view is a good strategy.

Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf injuries screwed Pakistan big-time and it's pretty evident in this match since Sri Lanka is cruising towards victory at the moment. Shadab is the only decent bowler among them.

Afridi is struggling along with the rest. Mendis is most probably playing a match-winning innings. Great stuff Sri Lanka!

Another worst match for Pakistani team because Sri Lanka has managed to make around 250 runs in 41.5 overs and only four out. I was expecting a good bowling performance from team Pakistan but again they aren't doing very well today. I think Sri Lanka will win this match because their batsmen especially Kusal Mendis played very well in the match, and now Charith Asalanka is also giving his best performance to win the match.

Hard luck to the Pakistan team. They were so close to be in the finals but yet not found themselves there. Charith Asalanka snatched the win from Pakistan and he got his team into the finals with India.

The Srilankans and the people in Colombo won't sleep tonight. They will keep on buzzing about this match for a long long time as this is one of the historic win. It was cliff hanger and we didn't know till the last ball who would win the match to play the finals with India.

We have to wait for another Asia cup for the India Pakistan final.

What a fight it was at the end 2 ball 6 need and Sirlanka won this match by 2 wickets. Watched a nail biter after a very long. Sirlinka is qualified for the final of the Asia Cup. Unbelievable match Pakistan good comeback back to back wickets that put Sirlinka under pressure but second last edge went to four heartbreaking for Pakistan fans.

But there is not fault Zaman Khan Not your fault at all, because its 1st International Match and you gave hope to a Nation. It was an edge. It is a bad day well played Pakistan hard luck. Charith Asalanka won the match for Sirlanka great inning of 49 runs unbeaten in just 47 balls. Congratulations to Srilanka for qualifying for the Final of Asia Cup 2023

Yes, in all of the matches the Pakistani teams luck wasn't good this time. The rain basically ruined their luck and because of rain they lose against India and now against Sri Lanka. It seems like that Pakistani players weren't ready for a sudden rain and if they were aware that anything like that could take place during the matches then they should have practiced by creating such environment artificially so they could tackle any issues that arise due to rain. Well, sometimes luck also determines the winning of the games and this time I noticed that Pakistani teams luck was not good at all. The team Sri Lanka played very well and they deserve to be in the finals. I must say that this match was truly an outstanding one and Sri Lanka hardly won the match, and that's why I said luck works sometimes.

Pakistan's loss at the last stage brought tears to the eyes of thousands of spectators. The only reason Pakistan lost was due to injuries to the only experienced bowlers Haris Rouf and Naseem Shah. The bowling pressure in the last phase was the only great chance to take the Pakistan team to the top of the win if the fielding was in the right place. The Sri Lankan team almost sealed their victory by collecting a four at the last minute and this was Pakistan's weak point at this stage. If there were players at the right place at the right time then there was definitely a chance for Pakistan to win.

It's not the worst match bro, it's a part of the game one will win and the other will lose. It's a normal thing either you win or lose but the main thing is that they entertain us. The Pakistani bowlers did their best and just looked to end where 6 runs for the win on just 2 balls, and the bowlers put very huge pressure on the batsman and yeah they got pressurized and I think that Pakistan will win this because of the pressure on the batsman which think will not doing that but unfortunately the edge will some changes and victory goes to the Sri Lankan side. The best thing is both the teams make their full efforts to win. No doubt the Sri Lankan batsman also did a great performance and congrats to them for qualifying for the final.

This is really sad for Pakistan. They did not have the best players available. Some people are even going to say that this decision was unfair. The DLS method certainly needs to be checked out again. Because I think this is one of the shittiest methods in cricket, if not in the history of sport. This method needs to be revised. But of course, congratulations to Sri Lanka to be able to win the match. But only if Pakistan had all the players available to them. The result was definitely going to be different.

Bangladesh is already out of the Asia Cup, and this is their last match. According to Cricbuzz, Bumrah, Siraj, and Pandya are likely to be rested, while Bangladesh would try to win the last match as they did not win any match in the super four. The Bangladeshi batting line was very poor in the last couple of matches, and the opener, Naim Sheikh, was given all the chances.

Wicket-keeper batter Anamul Haque Bijoy is still out of the probable XI, while Mushfiqur Rahim will not play the last match. This clearly shows how politics works in Bangladesh cricket team. Bad luck for Bijoy!

Right, Pakistan lost this match because their main fast bowlers injured Harris Rouf and Naseem Shah. Zaman khan debut bowler bowled well in this match he bowl last over good deliveries but 2nd last ball of the match edged and four will hurt every Pakistani fan. Sirlinka won the match by 2 wickets by DLS Method. From Pakistan Iftikhar Ahmad bowls well part time spinner pick 3 wickets by just giving 50 runs in 8 overs. The player of the match is Kusal Mendis for their amazing performance scored 91 runs in 87 balls unfortunately miss he well deserved century by 9 runs short but helped the Sirlankan team in this run chase. Sirlinka Now qualified for the Final and will be played Final match of the Asia cup against India.
