Pakistan lacked in his power play 3. Omar Akmal, Shahid Afridi and Misbah ul Haq could not take advantage of that power play. Credit goes to Sri-Lanka bowling which kept their nerves till the end.
In bowling, Pakistan was enough good but again fielding was totally sub-standard. Pakistan lost almost 5 sure chances including stumping and catches. If these chances were taken fully, then Pakistan may won the match by huge margin. Can you imagine to give 2 chances to Sangakara (top batsman of Sri-Lanka)?
Pakistan team and coaching staff should sets some standard in the fielding. Kamran Akmal again in wicket keeping lost his form and i am putting a question mark on him.
Bowlers of Pakistan specially Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi were excellent and due the bowling of these two bowlers Pakistan got this victory in the end.
Sri-Lanka could only make 266/9 runs. Sangakara and Silva were the top scorer for the team.
This is the first step for the Pakistan, in the World Cup and Pakistan should think about his next by keeping the eye on semi finals.
India, Australia, Sri-Lanka, England and South Africa will be the toughest competitor in the tournament. Check their fielding standards. Pakistan was not up to the mark.
Any how Pakistan got another victory in the route of cup. Congratulation, but still team Pakistan you have to go more strongly in the next up coming matches

Thats right. the tough competition will be against australia. Have to defeat them man.
it was really an historical victory- i think first time some team defeated sri lanka in their home ground or may be its just Pakistan. but Pakistan should learn from this match and improve their fielding.
my wishes are with pakistani team.
