Pakistan Vs Srilanka Live Streaming - Asia Cup 2012

Pakistan Vs Srilanka Live Streaming


Update: Pakistan won by 6 wickets

Pakistan Vs Srilanka is the 3rd match of Asia Cup 2012 and this promises to be another nail biter. These two are one of the big three teams and both are looking for a win to stay alive in the series. Although Pakistan has a win under their belt, but wasn't a convincing one which came against Bangladesh. Srilanka on the other hand lost one to India by a margin of 50 runs. They need to win this one against Pakistan to keep their hopes alive in Asia Cup 2012.


Pakistan was saved in the end by some good bowling performances against Bangladesh. The pain area for Pakistan still continues to be their batting middle order. They had got a flying start from the openers. The strong middle order with the likes of Misbah and Younis Khan failed again to capitalise. Even Shahid Afridi couldn't trouble the scorers. Pakistan may sneak in another batsman to strengthen the batting deparment.


Srilanka has looked a promising side but they once again failed to beat India. Their batting line up is good enough to compete against Pakistani bowling attack. Srilankan bowling lacked lustre in absence of Malinga. Srilankan team misses the services of Angelo Matthews and Thisara Perara who are injured since the days of CB Series.


Pitch would continue to support the batsmen in the first half and team batting second would find it arduous to chase a target above 270. Hence the team winning the toss should elect to bat first.

Update: India wins by 50 runs


Asia Cup 2012 continues to grip more attention as India takes on Srilanka in the 2nd match. These two teams have faced each other a lot in last two years but every time they meet, cricket fans are treated with something new and exciting. The last time these two met was in CB Series where India chased 320 plus runs in less than 37 overs and this match treated us with one of the best ODI chases one must have ever seen. Srilanka went on to reach the finals of CB Series but lost it to Australia.


India defeated Srilanka in the finals of last Asia Cup and Srilanka would be itching for a revenge. These two teams play much better in the subcontinent conditions and hence they are termed to be the favourites to win this Asia Cup 2012. Srilanka has a slightly upper hand with a better bowling outfit with likes of Malinga who has been a lot unplayable at times with his yorkers. Although the Indians have tackled him better than the others but at any given day he can turn tables on the opposition.


Pakistan have started their Asia Cup campaign with a marginal win over Bangladesh and they lead the points tally. Two men worth watching in this match would be Virat Kohli and Dilshan. These two are in sparkling form and they are scoring runs at a very good strike rate. With flat subcontinent pitches they would find things easier.


Asia Cup schedule format being not as long as CB Series, any team which loses the initial match would find it arduous to make it to the finals. India and Srilanka are very well aware of this fact and hence both would strive hard to win this match at Mirpur.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh Live Streaming 


Asia Cup 2012 live streaming begins on Neo Cricket. We don't often see four Asian countries facing off in a single tournament. It happens in Asia Cup and here is one of the most anticipated Asian cricket series. The first match of this series will be played between the host Bangladesh and reviving team Pakistan. With just one Asia Cup title to their name, Pakistan deserves a better record. After the match fixing saga, this team has suffered a lot and has also emerged pretty well as a good cricketing unit.


Pakistan recently whitewashed England cricket team but faced defeats in the limited version of the game. Inconsistency has always been one of the biggest issue for Pakistani team. They need to translate their consistently winning momentum into this Asia Cup 2012. They have a pretty good bowling line up consisting of pace battery Riaz and Gul. Spin department is effectively handled by Ajmal, Rehman and Afridi. 


Pakistan opening has been an issue in the batting department which loads a lot of pressure on the middle order. Captain Misbah and Younis Khan have handle the pressure very well in presence of the accelerators Afridi and Umar Akmal. 


Bangladesh on the other hand would enjoy the home conditions although they would be facing three opponents viz. Srilanka, India and Pakistan who are far more stronger than them. Bangladesh is always well known for creating upsets and who knows they may sneak in one in this Asia Cup also. Recently concluded Bangladesh Premier League have nurtured lot of talents and must have completely changed the mind frame of Bangladeshi cricketers. 


Pakistan will enter this game as favourites but considering their out of form performances recently, Bangladesh holds a good opportunity of clinching a win here. Pitch is likely to be flat and fully loaded with runs. 

Australia Vs Srilanka Live Streaming - 3rd Final of CB Series

Match Update - Australia beats Srilanka to win the CB Series 2012


Australia Vs Srilanka 3rd final of the CB Series is to be played today at Adelaide Oval. This long series couldn't have been more interesting than this. Australia and Srilanka have won one match each and now they face each other for the decider. Something that would decide the best of the three that competed to clinch the CB Series 2012.


The way Srilanka has performed in this series, they are just one win away after which they can self proclaim themselves as the best ODI team in the cricket world. They have played upto the mark so far and they deserve to be called best ODI team in the world. Dilshan who was under a scanner for his  "not so good" form has emerged as the key player for the Lankan team since last few matches. His tons have served the winning cause for Srilanka and we all know his tons come in a very quick time.


With other batting greats like Jayawardene and Sangakkara in the team and someone in good form like Chandimal; Srilanka hardly has to worry about the batting department. The bowling has been good in patches especially if we talk about the spearhead Lasith Malinga. When he clicks, he takes his team home with a victory and we all know that. His yorkers are one of the best in the business and once they get going, we see batsmen returning to the pavilion in no time.


Australia have their own set of problems. The biggest issue for them is the inconsistency. They need to keep the winning run consistent. A win in the first final shouldn't have been followed by such a disappointing performance in the 2nd final. Warner has regained form with two tons on the trot. Michael Clarke scored a quick century in last match. He may not play in 3rd finals as he doesn't seem to be fit enough to feature in this big match. So Watson may take over as the captain of Australia. 


The pitch here at Adelaide is still the same and we can't expect anything more than good amount of runs for the batsmen and a little bit of help for the spinners. Let us hope for a gruelling match here where both the teams are striving hard to clinch this one and lift the CB Series 2012 trophy.

Match Update: Srilanka beats Australia to level the finals 1-1


Australia is on the verge of another series win under the captaincy of Michael Clarke as they take on Srilanka in the 2nd final here at Adelaide Oval. Australia clinched a narrow hard fought win against Srilanka two days ago. It was merely a 15 runs win where the match could have swinged either ways but finally Australia emerged as the winner; thanks to a brilliant ton from David Warner.


Australia would be wary of their bowling attack which looked pretty consistent till the last match but they leaked away runs heavily in death overs and turned a comfortable win into a hard fought one. Pattinson and Hilfenhaus gave away more than 90 runs in nine overs, which compelled Clarke to hand over the bowling to David Hussey. Although David Hussey couldn't score runs but he managed to claim 4 Lankan wickets.


Doubts are served on Warner's availability for this match due to an injury. If he doesn't play, Peter Forrest may get an opportunity. Shane Watson may then have to open the innings. McKay may repleace Hilfenhaus.


Srilankan bolwer Malinga stands tall with most number of wickets in CB Series but he is also the bowler with highest economy rate. He needs to control runs flowing from his own bowling. Angelo Matthews plays a nice all rounder role in the team and if he can recover from his injury, he could be a good addition to the team.


Again a lot would be expected from the batting trio of Dilshan, Sangakkara and Jayawardene. Chandimal who has been a lot consistent needs to click in the 2nd final to give Srilanka a stronger base in posting a big total. Weather looks clear and pitch seems to be batting friendly with more support to the spinners.

CB Series 1st Final Live Streaming - Australia Vs Srilanka

CB Series 1st Final Live Streaming

After a long month of CB Series finally we have reached the finals. The format of this tri series allows three finals where the team which wins 2 out of 3 finals would lift the cup! Srilanka will take on Australia in the first final at Brisbane and provide us a cricketing treat on Sunday. India has headed home with a disappointing tour ends with an elimination from the tri series. India would get few more days to prepare for the Asia cup which begins after the conclusion of CB series.


Sri Lanka begin this series badly with two losses but the put their feet on the accelerator on the right time. They defeated Australia thrice and managed to beat India once and accumulate enough points to make it to the finals. Srilanka has come out with flying colours under the captaincy of Mahela Jayawardene and now the whole team looks in form. The only worrying factor so far was Sangakkara but he has batted well in last two matches. 


Lasith Malinga is the leading wicket taker so far and if we minus is performance against India at Hobart; he has been too good. Chandimal has been very impressive in the middle order and Srilanka has lately received good starts from Dilshan. 


Consistency is still a problem for Australia. They managed to beat India more than Srilanka and so far they haven't proved to be a dominant unit. Clarke has been unfit and Watson so far hasn't clicked too well. Forrest, Christian and Hussey brothers have played their roles upto the mark. Bowling department looks rusty at times and lacks consistency.


Pitch here at Gabba has so far provided us high scoring matches in CB series. So good news for the viewers as we can expect CB series 1st final to be a high scoring match. At the same time the bowlers would get a good bounce on this track. Australia will come hard at Srilanka whereas Srilanka has to just to continue playing well just like they have done so far against Australia in this tri series.

Australia vs Srilanka Live Streaming - CB Series Match 12

Australia vs Srilanka Live Streaming 1st Final


Things aren't as complicated now as it were when India played Srilanka in the last match at Hobart. Australia plays Srilanka here at Melbourne with a pretty simple equation. Australia is already into the finals. India has pulled a rabbit out of their hat to still stay alive in the series by scoring 321 in their last match against Srilanka in less than 37 overs! And if Srilanka wins against Australia here at Melbourne they will play Australia in 'best of three' finals. And if they lose, India plays Australia in the finals.


India can now relax or shop or spend their time doing something off the cricket as their fate of reaching the finals now rests on the result of this match. Australia is led by Shane Watson who looked impressive in last match against India. Selectors may opt to rest Clarke for one more match before playing the finals. James Pattinson is recalled in to the squad. Even McKay and Christian would try to make the most out of this match to prove their worth for the finals.


Srilanka looked a comfortable team in second half of this CB Series before they were thumped by India at Hobart. Virat Kohli played the innings of his life where India faced a dauting 321 runs target and to win a bonus point this target had to be achieved within 40 overs! Malinga who is one of the most feared fast bowlers in the world, gave away 96 runs and he may never forget the 24 runs over when Kohli smashed his balls all over the park.


Srilanka did hard to reach World Cup finals but lost to India. Since then they have played well in patches. They need to be consistent with their wins. Sangakarra regained his form at Hobart with a ton and Dilshan was a delight to watch as he scored 150 plus. These two batsmen shared a huge partnership in a lost cause. They need to continue from where they left their innings at Hobart.


Seems to be a clean day of match and no chances of rain interruption. Bowlers would enjoy the bounce on this MCG track which may put batsmen in uncomfortable situation. Overall proves to be a match worth watch, especially for Indian cricket fans!

Target For India - 321, India chases it in just 36.4 overs to register a win with bonus points. India keeps their hope for final berth alive.


India faces Srilanka in their last match in this CB Series, if they can't make it to the final. Australia has already made it to the finals and Srilanka looks the second team to make it. India has a very slim chance if they beat Srilanka with a bonus point and if Australia beats Srilanka in the last round robin match. India has allowed to leak matches in the second half of this CB Series whereas Srilanka is on a rise in the second half.


India's loss against Australia was disappointing and India can't take any positives from that game. Sachin was run out when he was looking good. Sehwag is probably in his worst form ever and he may have to sit out if he doesn't bat well in  near future. Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina have looked impressive at times but they were always unable to convert their starts into a long innings.


Indian bowling looked impressive in patches. In couple of matches they leaked  more than 90 runs in death overs and at times they bowled tight to give away nothing. The most likely change in bowling department seems to be Ravindra Jadeja making way for tall leg spinner Rahul Sharma.


Srilanka has clinched victories on perfect time and they have an easier way to make into the finals rather than India. So they have an upper hand in this match. Srilanka would hardly opt for a change in their winning eleven. Every player is playing his part upto the mark. The only concern so far has been Sangakkara who comes high in big matches. He seems to have kept his role reserved for the finals.


Considering the scores in last match here, the pitch looks a batting paradise.There might be light showers but that won't harm the play to a large extent. Indian fans are hoping for a miracle here from their out of form team whereas Srilankan team looks relaxed and in the driver's seat.

India vs Australia Live Streaming - CB Series Match 10

We have seen a lot of see-saw in individual forms in last couple of months. A batsman scores 219 in an ODI fails in the whole tour to Australia (Virender Sehwag). A batsman who answers all his critics and scores tons in test series fails to score a double figure in 5 ODIs on the trot and has to quit his ODI career (Ricky Ponting). Similar we have seen see-saw performances in teams. Sri Lanka was the slowest starter in this CB Series and now they are on top of points tally. Australia win few and lost few and hanging in between. India topped the table half way mark find themselves at the bottom and also in do-or-die situation. These things make cricket interesting!


Apart from bad form the Indian team is also suffering from "rifts" amongst the players. At this juncture only thing needed from the team is an inspirational win somehow to regain the lost form and make it to the finals. Will Virender Sehwag or Sachin Tendulkar struck form before its too late? This still remains to be an important question unanswered so far!


Keeping aside the rotation policy the team has to go ahead with the trio of Sachin, Sehwag and Gambhir. Dhoni will add strength to the middle order alongwith Virat Kohli and Raina. Also bowling selection would be a headache for Dhoni this time as in last two matches the Indian bowlers leaked more than 90 runs in last 10 overs.


Australian team also plays under pressure as they lost against Srilanka inspite of scoring well. Thus their bowling comes under scanner this time. Forrest scored a brilliant ton but in vain due to the loss. David Warner is yet to click and he is a worry for the team as far as ODI format is concerned. In case Clarke is unfit for the game, we may see Watson coming into the playing eleven for Australia.


Sydney cricket ground hasn't proved to be too lucky for Indians. This might be a low scoring game where bowler's success may come into picture. Overall a hard working day for the batsmen and tougher one for those who are not in form!

Australia vs Srilanka Live Streaming - 1st Final


Australia plays its first ODI in post Ponting era as he is axed from the ODI squad and Ponting thinks its an end to his ODI career. On the other hand Sri Lanka is on a rise after two good wins. The tri series is slowly moving towards the final stages so this would be a good match to decide which of these two are more firm to reach finals.


Shane Watson makes a come back as vice captain of Australia. He can come handy with his quick bowling and batting. Australia would more or less follow the same combination in the team which helped them win a game against India.


Srilanka has flourished with good cricketing display from players like Angelo Matthews, Farveez Maharoof, Lahiru Thirimanne and many more to name. Last two matches for Srilanka have been exceptionally well and the only thing they need to concentrate on is the winning consistency. A bad loss can turn tables on a particular team in this CB Series format.


Clarke's prime focus would be to keep the team united after omission of Ricky Ponting. If Watson will be played probably someone like Christian will have to make way for him. Srilanka may not look to make any major changes in their winning combination so far.


Pitch here at Hobart will primarily support the fast bowlers and provide a true bounce which will also help the batsmen to time the ball well. Srilanka have played Australia once in Hobart and registered a win (in 1999).
