It has been nearly 15 years since Pakistan have progressed to the final of an ODI tournament

They have played in seven such finals and have emerged as the winners in five of these.  8)

Tipping Lankans to win here. Pakistan got out of jail twice, thanks to Afridi's innings. The match vs Bangladesh especially. And I'd be surprised if that lightning strikes thrice.

However still Lankan batting is far from solid and is fragile as well. Bangladeshis nearly beat them too the other day. Hopefully they'd put up a much better show.

I'd be glad if Pakistan won though

  Pakistan 260/5 (50.0 ov)  Sri Lanka 160/2 (29.0 ov)  Sri Lanka require another 101 runs with 8 wickets and 21.0 overs remaining 

Lahiru Thirimanne was put down, on 36, by Umar Akmal off Shahid Afridi in the 20th over

67 from 89

Jayawardene was put down by Mohammad Hafeez on 52 off Umar Gul in the 34th over

Well done Thirimanne but I think he has a problem with losing concentration after 100s. 3ODI hundreds...highest score of 102

Congrats to BudhaLanka on the win of the Asia Cup !

Lasith Malinga is da best Seamer in Asia ...
