Australia opened their account at Lucknow against Sri Lanka

---

Slight difference from yesterday's standings because now Australia have opened their account and likewise Sri Lanka were downgraded from their last night position, 

Curtains for Pakistan for sure

Because now Aussies have tasted the first blood, and after tasting the first blood, the next game is
against us, because already their non-performing sectors i.e., Spin and the middle-order, started firing, and initial firing is surely going to be on us for sure, already we Pakistanis are well known for providing forms to opponent players, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to be precise, and I fear Glenn Maxwell might another beneficiary, because this game has more significance to Pakistan because in order stay on number four position, it requires to win, otherwise even if Pakistan loses, it should lose with less amount of deliveries because as you have been going through my previous blog's posts, I have been constantly giving references to 2019 Cricket World Cup where Pakistan lost the Semi-Final berth just on the basis of Net Run Rate, hence this tournament is precedent to 2019 edition, and hence NRR is quite an important aspect current format.

Australia's middle order woes recovery

This is another problematic aspect, where our bowling has not been firing, but on the contrary their (Australia's) middle order starting to fire from tonight's encounter against Sri Lanka, hence there is an Urdu saying which perfectly suits Pakistan's circumstances, کھایا پیا کچھ نہیں، گلاس پھوڑا بارہ آنے 

Furthermore, Zampa also took four wickets, while we were unable to read Kuldeep Yadav, hence I fear how we are going to read a less lethal than Kuldeep Yadav spinner, although compared to Pakistan, Sri Lanka are still better drivers of spinning deliveries, which we also experienced during recently concluded Asia Cup, where except for the final, they were definitely threat for any opponent they competed against. 

This bowling attack which bowled out Sri Lanka to 209

This bowling attack which was neutralized by South Africa, slowly starting to show off its groove, because this statistics which I took from ESPNcricinfo, I am already bit afraid while reading this statistics, because next game is against this bowling attack, where curtains are already drawn over Pakistan's expectations from Australia's game, and afterwards the game is against Afghanistan, where we are without the support of Nasim Shah to carry us towards the shores, and secondly our middle order yet to fire, hence I am not very optimistic with prospects for Pakistani Cricket Team.
