Miandad is the only Pakistani ODI batsman averaging 40+ (a solid 55 in fact) in tournament finals. Apart from him , Saleem Malik seems to have done decently. Who do you think will be Pakistan's ace performer in the Asia Cup finals?
Sri Lanka have played 11 Asia Cup Finals out of 12 and have won 4 times the only time they missed out the final was in 2012 edition
I think that was very nice gesture by Shahzad showing his personal milestone isn't important until team's victory. He didn't go on to score too many runs after that, but I was impressed by his dedication to chase - and its always very easy for a youngster (settling in the team) to lose restraint and celebrate wildly irrespective of how his team is performing in the match.
After the enthralling Test series between Australia and South Africa, it seems Test cricket is going from strength to strength!
Hafeez can no longer be considered a luxury - he is an integral part of the bowling attack.
It appears that there is more of a problem saving a game then winning it! Does playing defensively invite trouble?
