00:00 Yes, Basit bhai, 171 in 46.4 overs.

00:04 The start was very bad.

00:06 Actually, in the start, there was only one player who was playing well, Kusul Perera,

00:10 who played very fast, 51, 28 balls.

00:12 But after that, there was a disarray in the team.

00:15 In the end, he scored 43 runs, 87 balls, which was a partnership between Madhu Shankar and Tick Shana.

00:21 And in the last 4 matches, Tick Shana has become the player who played the most balls.

00:25 So, how are you looking at the performance?

00:27 See, Sri Lanka's biggest thought in this match was that we should play for qualification.

00:35 You know, for the Champions Trophy.

00:38 But we couldn't play in that way.

00:40 Unfortunately, what you are saying, 51, we should have scored 51.

00:45 Was there a need to take these shots at that time?

00:48 No.

00:49 I think it was a very bad shot.

00:51 Tick Shana played better than him, Mahesh.

00:53 He played much better.

00:55 We saw that we were 9 out, he took 12.

01:00 20 balls, he didn't get out like Nawaz.

01:03 I mean, I regret that match.

01:06 I have to say.

01:07 So, out of all the batsmen, 3-4 batsmen got good no-count balls.

01:11 Absolutely right.

01:11 This discussion is very important.

01:13 We will continue this discussion.

01:14 Firdaus Ashikawan was addressing a meeting in Teksila and was talking about this match.

01:19 So, Azhar, I would like to take your thoughts quickly.

01:22 Because…

01:23 I have to complete the talk.

01:24 So, I think this is not bad for Pakistan.

01:27 This is bad for Sri Lanka as well.

01:29 They should have played for qualification.

01:32 Absolutely right.

01:33 We think that if Sri Lanka defeats New Zealand, it is good for us.

01:37 So, it is bad for them as well.

01:39 This is not about playing cricket.

01:42 It is a simple thing.

01:43 I think they have become homesick.

01:45 I feel so.

01:46 Okay.

01:47 World Cup…

01:48 They came to play World Cup and became homesick.

01:51 Yes, it is a bad thing.

01:52 Breaking news comes.

01:53 It is a news channel.

01:55 It will happen.

01:56 Moving on…

01:56 They should know that the match is going on.

01:59 Okay.

02:00 Azhar, tell me this.

02:01 It is very important that both teams did not see any match in this event.

02:07 Because if you look at New Zealand, we can say that they have lost 4 matches.

02:11 But the last 2 matches they played, they lost 383 and 401.

02:16 So, they are playing their cricket well.

02:18 Opposition has played better cricket than them.

02:21 Cyril has played better cricket than them.

02:23 But, Sri Lanka was not in that form.

02:26 No, it was not.

02:27 But, it was not a bad team as they performed today.

02:30 If you look at their batsmen, they have performed well.

02:34 Since Kushal Mendis became captain, he has hit weird shots.

02:37 I don't understand.

02:38 Before that, they were playing so well.

02:39 They were performing well.

02:40 They were informed.

02:41 But, all of a sudden, they want to do something special.

02:44 So, Kushal Pareda is playing in front of them.

02:47 He is already taking risks.

02:48 So, your job was to anchor them.

02:51 You were already getting some support on the ball.

02:55 So, I think their top order was not in a mood to play long or set.

03:02 I think they had planned that they will play open today.

03:07 Either R or Par.

03:08 But, you see, later your tiction has shown that if you play full over, it was not difficult to make 60-70 runs.

03:17 If that was there, you never know.

03:19 You give yourself a chance.

03:20 Absolutely.

03:21 You know, Basit Bhai said a very good thing.

03:23 Kushal Pareda has taken all the risks.

03:24 It's okay.

03:25 You give a license to one.

03:26 But, when three of your wickets fell, you should reassess.

03:30 I need to change the game.

03:33 Look at Maxwell.

03:34 He has hit sixes and fours.

03:36 But, he has played smart cricket in between.

03:38 He thought that he has to play after seeing this bowler.

03:41 So, he played after seeing him.

03:42 It's not possible that you play one-way cricket and become successful.

03:46 Especially, quality side like New Zealand.

03:48 Their Ferguson had also come back.

03:50 So, their bowling was complete today.

03:52 I think, Sri Lanka...

03:54 Yes, New Zealand was still a far much better side.

03:58 But, there is not a complete side of Sri Lanka.

04:00 They have put their weapons ahead.

04:01 Absolutely right.
