Pakistan Sri Lanka match abandoned
Well, heavy rain comes to the rescue of Pakistan cricket team after a low score. Pakistan made a modest score which was not competitive at all. If they would added 40/50 runs, the match would have been in a better situation for Pakistan. As i dicussed this match with other friends of mine at work, i came to know that quite a few were unaware that a cricket series is being played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Full Bulletin
Why because the media is more projecting the series between England and India. 3rd and final match starts today and sure it would be intresting, as of this post is being made England have scored 37 runs without a loss.
The other match is between Australia and South Africa, in that match we saw to world records, one is world record for highest score in a one day and world record for the highest chase in a one day, wow !!! and more than 850 Runs scored in a day. But in the Test the South African team is quite struggling as they need 33 runs to level the score and then post a big total for Australia to chase, very intresting to see this match build up.
