A big thing to take out of this dead rubber would be Pakistan conquering their nemesis.
Afridi: 'We showed today how good we are. Just need to have a little more self-belief. Partnerships are the key, and will win us more games. Today we ensured that we didn't lose wickets in the first six overs, no matter how many runs are scored. Our plans were to not tinker with the squad ahead of the World T20, but some of the performances forced our hand. Want to thank the selection committee for getting together a good squad. Like we spoke early that we need to change our fortunes ourselves with hard work. I don't crumble so early. Have a lot of confidence in myself. Special thanks to the Bangladeshi crowd for their support in each and every game.'
Akmal: 'The situation we were in, credit to the management and the captain for boosting our morale ahead of the game. The rhythm our bowling has picked, and the batsmen, has a lot to do with the captain for backing the boys during a tough situation. Again want to thank my captain for letting me bat at No. 4'
Umar Akmal is Man of the Match
Chandimal: 'Overall we played some really good cricket. We were short by around 15 runs with the bat. It's difficult to grip the ball. The bowlers did well, but as I said we were 10-15 runs short. Injuries are the prime concern going into the World T20. Hopefully all players can recover soon.'
After the opener had done his job, Akmal took over and did what he does best, got his foot in the door before feeding on looseners. At the other end was a boundary-less Shoaib Malik, admiring junior Akmal. The Lankan quiver does not have enough arsenal and Mathews's absence made it even more innocuous. Herath was made to look ordinary as the Pakistani batsmen used their feet well against him, not allowing him to settle down. Pakistan have something to smile about as they head home to prepare for the World T20. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have too many issues to sort out. But if they want to take positives home, Dilshan's score will come as a relief. Stay tuned for the presentations...
Dew and mediocrity with the ball spoiled the effort the Sri Lankan batsmen had put to give Pakistan a target, which was anything but easy. Having said this, one must not rob Pakistani batsmen off the credit they deserve for making it an easy one (at least the final scoreline suggests so). It all started with Sharjeel Khan unleashing himself against Dushmantha Chameera, hitting him for 4 boundaries in an over. Sharjeel, until then, had looked sheepish, not willing to move his feet and throwing his bat at everything. Though that over was the only highlight of his innings, it gave Pakistan the belief to hunt it down. For history was not with them as far as their record while chasing is concerned.
Barely any excitement from the two batsmen out there which is understandable given the context. The Sri Lankans are milling around not knowing what's gone wrong. A good hard introspection awaits, for both teams actually.
19.2Thisara Perera to Shoaib Malik. 1 run, with the field brought up, Malik tries to go over them. The length is too full to get underneath though and he hits it straight to mid-off. Kulasekara puts it down and Pakistan win. In anti-climatic style it has to be said but Malik will take it
19.1Thisara Perera to Shoaib Malik. no run, follows a stunning catch with a yorker on off, Malik digs it out barely
Thisara Perera [2.0-0-24-0] is back into the attack
Iftikhar Ahmed, right handed bat, comes to the crease
End of over 19 ( 9 Runs )PAK 150/4 18.6Nuwan Kulasekara to Umar Akmal. out Caught by T Perera!! That should be it, lofted wide of long-off, and .. wait. Is that taken? Oh brilliant. What a catch from Perera! Full ball just outside off, Akmal slapped it inside out, probably didn't get it as wide as he would have liked but still looked good. Perera sprints to his left, sticks his hands overhead on the run and cups it safely before tumbling down. Amazing! U Akmal c T Perera b Kulasekara 48(37) [4s-4 6s-2]
Kulasekara to U Akmal, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!
150 runs for PAK 18.5Nuwan Kulasekara to Umar Akmal. SIX, boom! Clears the front leg to a fullish ball and heaves it over wide long-on. Smack-bang off the middle
18.4Nuwan Kulasekara to Shoaib Malik. 1 run, another brilliant yorker as Malik drills it towards long-on to raise the 50-run stand. A match-winning one *I said it in a whisper*
18.3Nuwan Kulasekara to Umar Akmal. 1 run, good bounce from a length on off, hits Akmal high on the bat as he tries to hoist it straight down. Mistimes it to long-on
18.2Nuwan Kulasekara to Umar Akmal. no run, almost a yorker outside off, Akmal tries to clatter a drive through extra-cover but drags it back to the bowler
18.1Nuwan Kulasekara to Shoaib Malik. 1 run, walks out to a full ball outside off and turns it to deep mid-wicket
Well I'm afraid, the goof-up from the keeper, and then the full toss from Chameera have nailed Lanka's fate. 10 runs needed off 12. Even Pakistan can't fluff this one.
