Again it was just a practice match for both the teams. Both are going to work on their weakness as this dead rubber match hardly decides the Asia cup winner.
Pakis still ranks at 3rd when winning the Asia cup so they should aim for big. With this, they might come close to SL in terms of trophies (just little bit) and it's very much possible if their batters clicks.
Both Srilanka and Pakistan are unpredictable. The last match might have been a practice match with Srilanka winning it but that does not mean they would again repeat the same performance. With the Afghanistan match who would have expected a known bowler like Shaheen Shah to hit two consecutive sixes? I would watch the finals with an open mind and enjoy the finals today which I am expecting to be interesting.
A bowler naturally gets nervous when he is going to deliver for the last over. Fazalhaq Farooqi was a good bowler and everyone expected that 12 runs in 1 over was never possible from that position in favor of Naseem Shah when it was the last wicket. Unfortunately the bowler deliver full touch ball both of the two balls and the batsman exploits that opportunity as well.
I too agree that Fazalhaq Farooqi would not have given two full tosses in any other circumstances. He got over looked by a lot of pressure. At the same time, Naseem Shah was also brave enough to hit those tow balls out of the ground and made a victory for Pakistan which will be remembered for a long long time.
For today's match, it wil be the Pakistan who are the favorite but if somehow, they loss the toss, then it would become indeed interesting.
I also want to keep Pakistan ahead in today's game, they played very well in this tournament. They will play their best today. Maybe they have planned a lot to win. But there is no reason to think of Sri Lanka as small at all. They have also beaten teams like India. Hope to enjoy today's game.
