The post-match parley
A senseless batting display by the Pakistan A top orders put the team to make a heavy weather out
of an easyTask in their chase of a meagre total to post a marginal victory against Sri Lanka A in their SAARC cricket engagement yesterday.
Pakistan A captain Asif Mujtaba commented this in a postmatch press session at the Dhaka Stadium yesterday.
"Definitely. 130 was a very low score . But I think we batted very badly and did not take the score very seriously. Even I also did the same. That was why we had to lose so many wickets. We should have won this match by at least seven to eight wickets," said Mujtaba.
Asked whether it were the Sri Lankan bowlers who made it difficult to have a smooth go, the Pakistani skipper replied. "Well they bowled well and the ball also moved a bit. But that should not be an excuse because you can not expect to have a cakewalk in every match. What happened actually was our batsmen including me failed to apply ourselves according to the demand of the situation and
that's why we had to depend on our last pair to reach the victory."
Like the captain. Pakistan A manager Zaheer Abbas was not also pleased at all with his toporder batsmen. It was definitely a good batting wicket and the batsmen simply committed suicide playing the bad balls, said the celebrated former Pakistani cricketer, fondly nicknamed as 'run-machine.' "They way they have played today makes me worried because if they continue to play like this they would not be able to win the final (scheduled for Friday)."
When the Pakistanis were found planning for the final, the Lankans were left with their finger crossed to know their chances for the other berth. With outcome of the today's match it will be decided whether the Indians or the Lankans are to make their way into the final.
Talking to the reporters, Sri Lanka A cricket manager Rumesh Ratnayake said. "We lost the match in the morning session when we were all out for a paltry 130. It was not a good total to defend. But it is good to see that our boys tried their best
to contain the powerful Pakistanis and they almost achieved the win. So I think our boys were OK in bowling and fielding department."
When asked why their batsmen failed to perform as they did against hosts Bangladesh, Ruwan Kalpage. the skipper of Sri Lanka A who kept quite amongst the reporters for most of the time. said. "It happens in limited overs cricket. Some day you play better and some day you Tose. Today, it happened with us and that's all. I don't want to come up with any excuses for that."
When asked whether they still hope to play in the final or not. Kalpage said that it was still uncertain and it would be too early to comment on that "Wait for tomorrow," said Kalpage.
