ICC Twenty20 World Cup: Finals: Sri Lanka Vs Pakistan

June 20, 2009 By: admin1 Category: Champions Trophy 2009 No Comments →

Sri Lanka have set the pace throughout the Twenty20 World Cup with both bat and ball and have not lost a match.
Pakistan, desperately short of practice, were outplayed by England in their opening match but rallied remarkably to thrash New Zealand and then upset a confident, well-drilled South African team in Thursday’s semi-final.
Both sides have exhibited the imagination and technical expertise which have made the tournament so memorable with the latest form of the game evolving and changing daily before noisy sell-out crowds at Lord’s, the Oval and Trent Bridge.
Sri Lanka will start favourites by virtue of their consistency and strength in depth.

ICC Twenty20 World Cup: 2nd Semi-Final: Sri Lanka Vs West Indies

June 20, 2009 By: admin1 Category: Champions Trophy 2009 No Comments →

Sri Lanka Captain Kumar Sangakkara called Tillekaratne Dilshan as a “pioneer” after the opener hit an unbeaten 96 to lead his side past West Indies and into the World Twenty20 final.
Sri Lanka cruised to a comfortable 57-run win at the Oval and will now take on Pakistan in the final at Lord’s on Sunday.
Dilshan’s knock was the centrepiece of Sri Lanka’s 158 for five with his 57-ball innings, which featured two sixes and 12 fours, the equal third-best in Twenty20 international history.
Fellow opener Sanath Jayasuriya (24) and Angelo Mathews (12 not out) were the only other Sri Lankan batsmen to reach double figures.
Mathews took three wickets in the first over of the West Indies reply and the Caribbean side finished on 101 all out with Captain Chris Gayle walking with 63 not out.
“It’s Mathews’s first major international tour and you can’t ask for much more than three wickets in the first over,” added Sangakkara.
“To get three top order batsmen out is a great start. We have a great bowling attack, they are all thinking cricketers.
“Now we will take this confidence into the final against Pakistan. We’ll concentrate on getting our basics right, we’ll be responsible and execute our game plan.”
Dilshan said he was learning all the time in the international arena and was awarded Man of the Match.
Gayle said the defeat was a bitter pill to swallow after his bowlers had limited the flamboyant Sri Lankans to 158-5.
“Dilshan took the game away from us. But we have struggled to get a start and get runs on the board. We’ll come back as a better unit and learn things from this” said Gayle.
