mathi: "Is this a worst collapse in a T20I innings of 5 wickets or more????" --- Keeping it to only Full Members, I remember Australia losing five in an over against Pakistan in a T20 World Cup game. That was the last over of the innings, though.
Adnan: "If there is a time to open the innings with spinners at both end, this could be it. "
Salman: "Either bowled or catch taken by keeper or babar during this while innings, something of a note"
Jawad: "8 wickets lost within 16 runs, 4 of them are extras, so only 12 came from bat. Can't remember another collapse like this in recent history"
Murad rony: "SL effectively 9 down for 30 what a collapse"
Mohammad Nawaz: "This is not a typical Pindi pitch; there is a lot of help for spinners. We have to be careful as the job is not yet done. We need to play as per the plan and put them under the pressure."
7.39pm Sri Lanka looked good for 170 at the halfway stage of the innings but in the end, they could muster only 114. Both captains said at the toss that 160 could be the par score here. This is way too less. The credit goes to the spinners who really applied the brakes in the middle overs and finished with combined figures of 6 for 52 from 12 overs.

Ahmad Waqas: "Interesing how the Pindi pitch transformed from being batting paradise to hard to bat on? Is that so or the spinners are bowling brilliantly?" -- This is anything but a batting paradise
