ICC Champions Trophy 2017: Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 5 Talking Points

#5 Skipper Sarfraz Ahmed rides his luck to take Pakistan home

Sarfraz took his side home

Sarfraz Ahmed rode his luck to drive Pakistan home with an unbeaten 61. However, it should be remembered that Sarfraz was given two lives by the Lankan fielders without which the result could have been different.

He was dropped once on 38 and another time on 41 as Sri Lanka failed to grasp on to crucial catches. While the second one was a bit tough, the first one was an absolute sitter that Perera dropped off Malinga’s bowling. Malinga was later seen fuming as he knew that dropping that catch meant dropping the match.
