Pakistan scored an 11-run win over hosts Sri Lanka in their second World Cup match at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The win came courtesy brilliant middle-order batting from Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan and inspired bowling by captain Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akhtar a.k.a. Rawalpindi Express.

Good Combination for batting first, But i think there is a need to change the combination if they loose toss and are batting second.
The trick of younis and misbah will not work that time

As my prediction about yesterday's match went in my favour nd I can forecast the champion of this mega event, that's a patriotic team ( Pakistan ). Insha Allah.

MA-a great effort to beat home team in their favorite home ground. Pakistan got lucky after dropping quite a few catches and getting confidence by beating a school level team from kenya. They will eliminate england in the quarterfinals-india in semis and look what australia in the finals-although it could happen in the reverse order as well-first they need to qualify for the quarters-IA.
