Kulasekara and Tushara both got 3 wickets each. In 3rd and final match against Sri Lanka Pakistan batting line was scattered like dry leaves and faced a shameful defeat against Sri Lanka. Shoaib Malik of Pakistan Cricket Team showed bad captaincy in the final match.
In 2002,
Pakistan was beaten by Australi by 224 runs and it was considered the worst defeat of Pakistan Cricket team ever but now recent bad performance has broken all previous record as now Pakistan Cricket Team has been defeated by 234 runs and has broke its previous bad performance record of 224 runs. While lowest score of Pakistan Cricket Team on home ground was 113 runs against West Indies which Pakistan Cricket Team made in 1986.
Pakistani Batsmen could not play well against bowling of Toshara and Kulasekara. Murlitharan got 2 wickets and he became 2nd bowler of the world who got 500 wickets in one-day international matches after Wasim Akram of Pakistan Cricket Team. No Pakistani batsmen could reach even in double figures except Umar Gull 광주 상무지구 오피 and Shoaib Malik who made 27 and 19 runs respectively. 4 players got out on zero and Pakistan Cricket Team also dropped 3 easy catches and I believe catches wins the matches and Sri Lankan Cricket Team took full advantage of these mistakes and made record runs. First wrong decision of Captain Shoaib Malik was sending out of form batsman Younis Khan in opening position. Sangakara received award for making fastest fifty.
Sri Lankan Team set a target of 309 runs for Pakistan to achieve. As Salman butt remained out of the field during the ending session of Sri Lankan Cricket Team therefore he could not come for batting as opener. Another mistake of Pakistani Captain Shoaib Malik was to send Kamran Akmal earlier for batting and Misbah could not perform differently from his counterparts.
Sri Lanka Cricket Team will come again in February for playing 2 test matches and Sri Lankan team will reach in Pakistan on 14th February’s Lankan off spinner Muttiah Murlitharan said that he’ll say good bye to cricket after World Cup 2011.Sri Lankan Captain said that he did not thought that our team will win the final match with such a great margin and this victory has pooled our confidence level and we expect to give similar performance against Indian Cricket Team.
Sri Lankan Cricket Team is playing better cricket consistently and I believe that to defeat Sri Lankan team would be very tough for Indian Cricket Team as they are in full form and on the other hand if we analyze the performance of Indian Cricket Team then we can conclude that both teams are equal and viewers will enjoy seeing cricket matches between these two teams.
Sri Lanka is very strong opposition at home ground and India should make necessary planning about how to tackle Murli, Mendis, Kulasekara.
