A sensational win.
India victorious here in Colombo by 61 runs.
it really did I think it's fair to say that this Pakistan team didn't play to their potential they're a lot better than that particularly their top four who would have really fancied their chances despite the fact that they let India get about 20 runs too many China really very expensive with the ball today just couldn't find anywhere to hide 15 runs off his
off his two, 15 and a half runs off his two overs apiece, so 31 from his spell altogether, and Shadab also expensive, went for 17, Salman Aliaga with many options with the ball, used seven bowlers in total, he was given good performances by Ousmane Tarek, Saeem Ayoub,
and himself bowled really admirably.
You're going to league run somewhere against India, I suppose.
At 175, they did let them get away 20 more.
Perhaps they felt the need to overcompensate when they came out to bat.
Not even overcompensate, but compensate for that when they came out to bat.
They're top four, and they sort of played all manner.
No, no, I'm just very hot, Daniel.
Because the AC is off in this room.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Yeah, we're going to have to find some kind of AC balance here.
But it's going to be difficult for this Pakistan team because...
It's going to be quite brutal, the post-mortem back home, and there's going to be a really negative reaction to this, despite the fact that, as you said, they still have a very strong chance of making it through to the Super 8s, and indeed to the semi-finals, because they have a really good combination.
Their spinners, their attack, their balance, it kind of fits this tournament perfectly.
What they have to try and keep in mind is they've just played the best team in the world who've come in and put in a very clinical performance.
I feel like India has some kind of psychological hold over Pakistan, perhaps that head-to-head record, not just in World Cups, but in all T20s, Pakistan having only won three of the...
17 matches they've played against each other in T20 internationals.
