Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upal tharanga decimated the English bowling attack to post a match wining first wicket partnership of 229 runs to beat England out of the World Cup. England has been a tough team, bouncing back and winning some tight games, including a massive 338 chase to tie with India. But they were just no match for the Sri Lankans who were just absolutely clinically surgical in their bowling and their batting.
Here are some stats of the Dilshan and Tharanga Partnership
- They put on 231 runs to chase the target of 230 in just 39.3 overs
- Upul Tharanga(lhb) scored 102 runs in 122 balls. He hit 12 fours and one huge six at a strike rate of 83.60
- Tillakaratne Dilshan(rhb) scored 108 runs in 115 balls with the help of 10 fours and 2 sixes.His strike rate was 93.91
- Tharanga got lucky with him being dropped twice. Both were really tough chances though. However the score was 132/0 and sri lanka would have won any ways
- The duo hit a boundary in more than half the overs faced
With this form, i have little doubt that Sri Lanka Will Over power the Kiwis in the semi-final on next tuesday. The big question is if they will face India or Pakistan in the World Cup Finals. Here are our prediction for the World Cup Cricket Final between India and Sri Lanka
