In the ongoing Asia Cup 2023, Pakistan’s formidable batting lineup faltered during the highly crucial Super 4 clash against Sri Lanka. The match, which held significant importance for both teams to reach the finals, witnessed Pakistan struggling to meet the high expectations placed on them. Their inability to cope with Sri Lanka’s bowling attack resulted in a disappointing performance. The Green team lost the match by two wickets and was eliminated from the ongoing tournament.

Pakistan made a significant reshuffle in the playing XI, with five changes made to the team. Notably, Imam-ul-Haq, Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf,and Salman Ali Agha were omitted from the lineup, making way for Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Haris, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Wasim, and Zaman Khan to take their places.

Pakistan’s batting performance in the match got off to a rocky start, with Fakhar Zaman falling early. While Shafique managed to smash a half-century, he struggled to find adequate support from his fellow batters, resulting in Pakistan slumping to a precarious 130/5 at one point. The partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed rescued their side with a substantial 108-run stand??.

However, despite this recovery, the changes made to the batting order didn’t earn the approval of Shahid Afridi, who remained critical of the team’s overall performance.

The former Pakistani skipper Afridi took to Twitter to express his thoughts, stating that the chosen batting order was not the most suitable for the situation. The tweet reflected his critical assessment of the team’s decision-making and lineup choices during the match.

“Did Pakistan miss the trick? We could have made better choices in the batting order. What do you guys think? In my opinion, this was not the best batting order according to the situation. @Asiacup2023” Afridi wrote on his Twitter handle.

In a dramatic Super 4 Asia Cup 2023 showdown at Colombo’s Premadasa Stadium on Thursday, Pakistan endured a crushing loss to Sri Lanka. The contest, a truncated 42-over affair, kept spectators o?n the edge of their seats as it went down to the wire.

In a test of nerves, Sri Lanka managed to maintain their composure, ultimately securing their ticket to the Asia Cup final. The outcome was a stunning upset, as Pakistan, the the prime favourites walking into the match, were left in disbe??lief following their unexpected defeat.

Dramatic last ball run-chase

In a high-stakes, dramatic last-over run-chase, Sri Lanka required eight runs off the final over; the pressure was palpable. Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, turned to Zaman Khan, to defend the target. The debuta?nt delivered four exceptional deliveries, conceding just two runs, tu?rning the tension a notch.

The Lankan side now needed six runs from the last two deliveries. The pacer charged in, attempting to deliver a wide yorker to Dhananjaya de Silva. However, the left-hander had other plans and went for a massive heave, resulting in an outside edge that raced to the boundary. It was heart-wrenching for the 22-year-old, who knew the game had just slipped through his side’s fingers.

The final ball arrived, and Zaman executed a slower ball on the off stump. It was a clever move, but Charith Asalanka was up to the task. He elegantly flicked the ball towards the vacant fine-leg area, allowing t??he Sri Lankan batters to comfortably complete the second run they needed. As the task was done, the players embraced and the local crowd erupted in celebration for the home team.

Babar could not come to terms with the outcome; he flung his arms in frustration, questioning whether the fielder should have been positioned differently or if the bowler should have bowled it far from the reach of Asalanka. His expression told the story of a leader grappling with the agony of defeat. On the other hand, Zaman’ seemed in utter dejection. He knelt on the ground, almost motionless, as the weight of the loss bore down on him. The pain in his eyes spoke volumes, conveying the depth of disappointment and heartbreak he felt.

Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood showcased their brilliance with the bat as Pakistan dominated the opening day of the second Test against Sri Lanka at Colombo’s Sinhalese Sports Club. After bundling out the hosts for 166, the Babar Azam-led side ended the day at 145-2, trailing by 21 runs.

Pakistan, leading the two-match series 1-0, displayed excellent teamwork as Shafique and Masood put on a second-wic??ket partnershi?p of 108 runs. Their aggressive approach put Sri Lanka on the back foot and set the foundation for Pakistan’s strong position.

The day began with Sri Lanka winning the toss and opting to bat. However, the Pakistani bowlers proved their mettle as leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed (4/69) and fast bowler Naseem Shah (3/41) wreaked havoc, sharing seven wicke?ts between them.

Sri Lanka all-rounder Dhananjaya De Silva showed some resistance with a gritty knock of 57 runs off 68 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup struggled to make an impact. De Silva’s fifth-wicket partnership of 85 runs with Dinesh Chandimal (34 of??f ??60) was one of the few bright spots for the home side.
