Overall the 3rd day of test match proved to be good for Pakistan team as they had to bear the loss of two wickets only in the whole day. As from the day starting, Pakistani batsmen showed their defensive approach.
Sri Lankan team got 2-3 chances but they could not avail those chances and due to this it was a normal day for them. Younis Khan and Khurram Manzoor resumed the innings for Pakistan team and played a little bit slower in the opening hour of the day. Soon Manzoor got out by adding only few runs and got out on 27. After the dismissal of Khurram Manzoor, Shoaib Malik came for batting. He along with Younis Khan played a brilliant knock and they build up a partnership of 149 runs to give a solid stand to the shaking building of the team. On this stage, Malik got out on 56. He played this innings by consuming 168 bowls. Today the scores of the batsmen moved very slowly in the match and that is just due to their defensive approach.
At that stage, Younis Khan handled the innings very deliberately and played a captain innings knock. He is still not out on 149 runs and about to achieve the mark of 150 runs. Along with him, the other not out batsman from Pakistan team is Misbah-ul-haq and he is batting on 20 runs. The positive thing that was shown by Pakistan team is that they didn’t look desperate today and played their game by keeping themselves calm and quite. But the negative impact that was given by the Pakistan team was that they played too slowly and wasted number of deliveries just to save the day for them. The cricket results that were shown by the Pakistani team were satisfactory but not up to the standard. They have to show a positive attitude while playing the match as they weren’t there to save the match but to win that match.So team as well as the team management should have to change their thinking approach so that they can win the games.
In any matter of life, your thinking approach and your attitude matters a lot. And in cricket or in any kind of sports you have to play the game with positive frame of mind. Pakistani players showed their stamina, especially Younis Khan and Shoaib Malik that they can drive any kind of innings in their own way. Younis Khan gave a solid stand to his team and still on its way to take its team to a match leveling position against Sri Lanka. He played a captain innings and no one can doubt on that innings but only one thing was lacking that his strike was very low. This team can perform well but they have to work hard for this purpose. The major thing is that they have to remain united as a whole unit.If you wanted to watch yourself the performances of team or cricket live scores then you can easily do that from ScoresPro.com.
