I was watching the Sri Lanka Vs Pakistan World Cup cricket match played at Colombo tonight. I was hoping it would be terrific and so it was when Pakistan was batting. Then the Srilankans came in to bat chasing 270 odd runs. The run rate dropped to a trickle and at 30 over into the Srilankan innings, the hosts needed a run rate of about 10 runs an over.
I thought it was all over. That Pakistan had won the match. Then I saw a series of misses. Stumping chances, catches. A bunch of them missed by Pakistanis. What should have been a cakewalk for Pakistan turned out to be a tough match.
Eventually Pakistan did win the match with about a ball to spare. If Pakistan continues to field like they did today, they might as well go back home.
