Watch Sri Lanka vs England highlights – the World Cup Quarter Final played on March 26, 2011
Scoreline: England 229/6 – Jonatahn Trott 86 (115, Morgan 50 (55), Bopara 31 (56)
Sri Lanka win in 39.3 for no loss – Tharanga 102 (122), Dilshan 108 (115)
Humorous Moment courtesy Swann: SL Bat 4 – 06:30 onwards
When Dilshan attempts the Dilscoop, you know he’s beginning to feel good about himself. Personally preferred the Upul Tharanga hundred today, though.
Given how Murali went through NZ in the group stage, his uncertainty for the semis might just open out that game a bit more. But even with England looking like finally having run out of ideas and inspiration (could have better used Luke Wright at the top though and let Bell be), the nature of this win must finally have justified Sri Lanka’s pre-tournament tag as favourites.
England got mauled by the Lions!!!
thats a terrible beating for england
To tell you the truth, I think they were ready to go anyways…I mean not even a single wicket? All those dropped catches by SL could’ve been a blessing in disguise for England but no one stepped up.
Quite an opening pair those two are. Magnificent innings played by the SL openers and well, the English performance wasn’t all that spectacular sadly. Then again, it’s shaping up to become a very interesting World Cup.
Let’s see what New Zealand will do up against Sri Lanka in the semi’s. I personally feel SL are a strong contender for winning this WC, but hey that’s just my opinion. Let’s wait and see what unravels.
england were lucky to come this far.. they were a very ordinary team in this tournament… and badsubby, looks like nobody is stealing anything from here…. :p
Um…the only upset here would be if Pakistan beat India lol or NZ beat SL…thats gonna be the only upset.
Go SL Go!!!
