when SL failed to reach their target within 36.4 overs, top the
table with seven points. Pakistan have six.

pitches have dried but the side winning the toss will probably
field first

A good win for Sri Lanka as Pakistan did a fair bit of choking and
Muarli was too good for the inexpeienced lower order
Another low scoring game with both sides not really displaying
batting skills as the pitch cant be blamed anymore as its eased up
a lot, most wickets fell in both innings due to poor shorts
Towards the end the pressure was just too much on the batsmen and
they floded tamely
The last man out Shabbir may think himself unlucky to be given out
caught off his pads but Sri Lanka had done all the needed to
Now New Zealand would need to lose to pakistan for Pak to go
through and Sri Lanka will need to win tomorrow to get through to
the final
There has only been one fifty in this tourney so far
The ceremonies are on and the most boundaries for only 2 thats were
hit is shared by three people, Murali, Younis Khan and Youhana
while Murali picks up the best bowler awatd
Murali is also man of the match for 5 for 23
The best bat award to Dilshan
Tomorrow we have the New Zealand v Sri Lanka match and it starts at
04:00GMT
Thats all and we'd like to say good evening all
Please also note there is a ODI a bit later between WI and
Australia right here
