Live Cricket Score - Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, ICC Champions Trophy 2017

So that brings us to the end of the most dramatic of games. It swung one way, then another. Sri Lanka looked set for victory when Pakistan lost their seventh wicket in the 30th over with the scoreboard reading 162 for 7. Mathews attacked all the way through. Bowling his three frontline seamers. He knew this game wouldn't go 50 overs, so there was absolutely no point in waiting and watching. It was a strategy that nearly paid off until Md. Amir joined Sarfraz in the middle. Amir was, in fact calmer than his captain, as he nurdled the ball and scampered for singles. Sarfraz hit the timely boundaries and once he received the two reprieves from Thisara Perera and Seekugge Prasanna - completed his half-century and led his team to victory.

Who would have thought Pakistan would make semis when they were thrashed by India and faced the No. 1 ranked South Africa after that. But they've turned it around like only they can and are now two games away from a maiden CT title. They'll have to win the semi against England on 14th. They've never gone past the semifinal stage before. But that's a story for another day. Today we shall celebrate the flaws and celebrate the enigma that is Pakistan. Thanks for tuning in. Stick around for all the post-match copies. There should be a lot of interesting stuff there. Until next time, good bye and good night!
