ICC World 20-20, PAK vs SL, Super 8: Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 33 runs
Sep 17, 2007
Pakistan eased to a 33-run win over Sri Lanka in their first Super Eight match of the ICC World Twenty20 in Johannesburg today.
Set 190 to win, Sri Lanka were restricted to 156-9 in 20 overs as allrounder Shahid Afridi was the pick of the Pakistani bowlers, taking 3-18 in 4 overs. The Sri Lankan batting struggled once openers Upul Tharanga (0) and Sanath Jayasuriya (5) had gone early. Skipper Mahela Jayawardene, who made 28, staged a brief recovery with Kumara Sangakkara (18), until the latter was unfortunately bowled.
Once Jayawardene departed the writing was on the wall for the World Cup runners-up. Chamara Silva and Tilkaratne Dilshan, who both made 38, struck a few big blows, but in the end their effort fell short of the target.
