Cricket pundits never imagined that Pakistan would overcome the formidable Kiwis and South Africans and make it all the way to the T20 finals. Since the experts keep getting it wrong, we thought we’d allow you take a shot at guessing what will happen in tonight’s match.
If Pakistan wins the toss, should they bat or field? What will be the target? Is Malinga going to sling us off the field or will Gul beguile the Lankans? And will Afridi be able to maintain his stellar run and keep his eyes open as he bats? Share your predictions with us.
Pakistan will loose.
If Pakistan bats first Pakistan 5 runs – Lankan team 500 runs
If Pakistan wins the toss, they should and must bat first and the score should be 169/6.
My key players are Younus Khan and Kamran Akmal.
Lankans are a formidable side we cannot fool with them and with their top performance they reached the finals without defeat.We have to be more resolute than at semis and not only Afridi each player hss to perform the chances are even. Finally it is a 20/20 game lets face it bravely if we win great come back if not well done after the prolonged hybernation from International cricket.Good and happy viewing!!
Any team that scores 150 would win. Both teams have excellent bowling and 150 would win the game.
Pakistan need to bat first. Pakistan bowling attack is better than batting. Bowling will give Pakistan better chance to win –Inshallah
goooooooo pakistan- pak 156/5
sri 149 all out
We Cant predict any thing about Pakistan though, but i still think that the only way for Pakistan to win this match is to involve there emotions in the game because Srilanka can match Pakistani team but they cannot match Pakistani spirit. GOOD LUCK PAKISTAN.
Pakistan must bat first and I am pretty sure they are capable to score 170/6 snd Siri Lanka will not reach 158 with their effort.
If SL bat first situation will be reversed I mean SL will win with same score and wickets given above.
Both teams need one outstanding performance either in bowling or batting to win the match
One day cricket is a cricket in which most of the time one player wins the match just like baseball even thogh every one puts great efforts like horse race but one horse beats every other horse.
If paki win the toss they should bat
paki 150/7
if Lanka bat first
Lanka 170/8
Its all about who win the toss
good luck to both team
Pakistan should bat first. Their batting is the weak and can crumble under pressure.
Our local Pakistani fans should be ready to invade the pitch and hold hostages in case Pakistan appears to be losing.
Any team that could combine its skills with self control, application and cool would be the winner. External factors (like pitch, weather) do contribute however internal self disciple and mental alertness have a last say in a compeition like this.
Sri Lanka to bat first.
Pakistan chase it down with less than 10 balls remaining
Malinga is scary with his slingies no doubt.
Pakistan, if wins toss, will opt for batting and should score around 170 on the board and defend the total using its combination of slow, medium and fast attack.
SL, if wins toss, and chooses to bat first should be restricted to around 150.
Bottomline, Pakistan will win InshaAllah regardless of who wins toss
Pakistan after winning the toss, will bat first, definitely.
Malinga will get kicked by the middle order that is hungry for some real show.
Shahzaib will be the key in opening pair, this time.
Afridi has done his role in the semi-final; he will be at his best in his four over’s spell.
Pakistan all the way!

I hope Pakistan elects to bat again if we win the toss. But even more then that I hope younis changes his batting lineup. I love how they brought Afridi up the order, they need to do the same with Alam and Razzaq, becuase younis, misbah and malik waste too many balls to get settled in ( majority of the time they dont even get settled in ) we need to go all out hitting.. we have batting upto #8 why do they play slow???? Younis Misbah and Malik are senior and should be low order in T20 because they can handle pressure and play regularly if we loose wickets.
Inshallah Pakistan will win
if younis brings afridi razzaaq and alam earlier Pak should score around 170 – 180
and Inshallah restrict/bowl out Sri Lanka to 155-165
SALAM . TO ALL THOSE WHO LOVE CRICKET AND PAKISTAN . I PRAY TO THE FOUNDER AND CARE TAKER OF DAWN THEY ALLOW US TO EXPRESS OUR VIEW IN THE DAWN.GO GO PAKISTAN, AND BE HUMBLE.

AND DO THE NAFIL AND ENJOY , AND BE MORE HUMBLE. THANKS . YM JAVAID FROM USA. sharing and caring with helping hand.
I think pakistan have good chance to win T20 Cup. What they need to do is if win toss , BAT FIRST, score and put 160 plus target. Very hard to chase in final in T20. They need to unite at a team, and play as this is their last game… GO PAKISTAN ….I am with you 100%……
Pakistan going to rock tomorrow… and we will be celebrating at green street… in London
Predict the unpredictable…the title says it all….in simpler words for all…
PAKISTAN TO WIN T20.
If I predict from my heart….
PAKISTAN WILL WIN
But if I predict from my mind….
SRILANKA WILL WIN
Pak should definitely bat first, thats a 50% victory right there, my other advice is that shoaib, younis or misbah should be on the crease when their spinners are bowling,so I guess they should set their batting order accordingly.
Best of Luck!
IF BOOM BOOM CLICKS THEN NO ONE CAN STOP HIM HOPE FOR THE BEST & PRAY FOR PAKISSSSSSSS.
160 IS ENOUGH FOR SRI LANKS IF PAKISSSSS BAT FIRST
For Pakistan to win, Toss will be very important. It will be very difficult for
Pakistan to chase 145. On the other hand Pakistan can defend 145 if Sri lanka chases.
Main contrubers will be
Kamran Akmal,Yunis, Shahid F., Umar Gul.
Shahid F & Gul will trouble all including Dilshan.
I have a hunch Amir will Clean bowl JaySurya.
Although Dishan is the best batsman in the world, he might get in trouble with
A. Razzaqs because of his late swing.
Butt or Shazib can play comfortabley against medium pacers. If Malinga starts the attack Whichever one of these losers accompanies Akmal will be either Clean Bowled or caught on a short delivery like all their lives against Pace induced Trauma.
