Result : Sri Lanka won the match by 20 runs against Australia and going to semis
SRI LANKA innings:
Over 50 || Score 252/8
Mahela Jayawardene played a fantastic knock and remained unbeaten on 84 as Sri Lanka reached a formidable score of 253 runs for the loss of eight wickets. It was a fantastic knock under pressure from the Sri Lankan veteran who once again proved his worth in big matches. Sri Lanka added 40 runs in the last five overs, most of which were scored by Mahela.
The Aussies need to chase the total in 29.1 overs. We are expecting a majot reshuffle in the batting order which Australia must do to entertain their chances of winning the match. The Sri Lankans need a win, by any margin.
AUSTRALIA innings:
Over 42.3 || Score 233/10
And the fall of last wicket of Aussies. Dilshan took a blinder off his own bowling, the Lankans needed a special effort to break the 41-run partnership and Dilshan did just that! Sri Lanka won the match and now move to the semis, the Aussies and the Kiwis have been knocked out.
