So now, take a look at the 5 Talking points of the Sri Lanka v Pakistan 4th ODI:

1. Ahmed Shehzad’s blistering knock of 95 runs:

When the Selfie King Ahmed Shehzad gets going, then his brutal batting is piercing enough to menace any bowlers. Who knows this better than the Lankan spinner Pathirana who was pounded for a six on the first ball he bowled. In his 90 ball 95 runs knock there was hardly any bowler who could pose any danger to him as he looked in utmost ease and even thwarted Lasith Malinga for two consecutive boundaries when he looked like the most miser of the lot. For the second wicket Shehzad combined with Mohammad Hafeez in a match winning 115 run stand. It was only Perera’s brilliant diving catch which prevented him from reaching the three figure mark.
