Sri Lanka make it to second consecutive World Cup final

March 29, 2011   10:35 pm

Sri Lanka beat New Zealand by five wickets in the first World Cup semi final played at the R. Premadasa a short while ago. Tillakaratne Dilshan once again performed at the top of the order with a patient 73 while Captain Kumar Sangakkara scored 54.

 

Tim Southee picked up three wickets for 57 runs and caused some nervous moments in the middle of the game but Sri Lanka finally got to the total with 13 balls remaining.

 

India and Pakistan play their semi final tomorrow at Mohali to stand a chance to meet Sri Lanka in the World Cup final in Mumbai on April 2.
