Are you asking a question or making a statement?

Some have made ridiculous suggestions that there is nothing in it for Sri Lanka to play as they already have a foot into Super 8. Some even made more preposterous claims that the match could be fixed, to keep Indian sponsors, Indian TV media giants and huge Indian audience happy, get better TV ratings for World Cup in general - by forcing Sri Lanka to throw away the match.

That is absolute crap. Sri Lanka have everything to play for. If they earn any points, they would get to carry them forward into Super 8. There is no reason for Sri Lanka to be complacent and/or field a weaker team.
 
Group B - Sri Lanka vs India

Sri Lanka XI: WU Tharanga, ST Jayasuriya, DPMD Jayawardene, KC Sangakkara, LPC Silva, TM Dilshan, M Muralitharan, WPUJC Vaas, RP Arnold, SL Malinga, CRD Fernando

India XI: R Dravid, SR Tendulkar, SC Ganguly, AR Uthappa, V Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, AB Agarkar, Z Khan, MM Patel, Harbhajan Singh

This game is underway and we are currently in the 10th over. Jayasuriya was out early for a very slow innings of six runs.

Sri Lanka are 1/39 in the 10th over with Tharanga on 17. Extras is on 16.

"There is no reason for Sri Lanka to be complacent and/or field a weaker team."



Except for the fact that if they win bye-bye 2/3 of WC TV audience.
Don't think Lankans know on which side their bread's buttered? They
win, financially they (and ICC, and WC, and Windies, and sponsors, and
local businesses, etc, etc) lose big. My prediction: Lankans lose in
half-hearted effort. Just exposes another glaring flaw in this idiotic
group round format.
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

Interesting start here.
Sri Lanka 78-2 after 20 overs.

India were thrilled with the 2 wickets they took, but Sri Lanka haven't lost any more and should be on their way to a fairly respectable total.
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

92/3 after 23 overs. India seems to be applying the pressure keeping them at 3.91 RR
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

Tharanga finally out

133-4 after 32.2 overs.



Indian bowlers are doing a good job of restricting the runs here. When India bats, they'll have a good shot at reaching whatever total is set for them.
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

184/4 the Sri Lankans are piling on the runs, now they have 9 overs left.
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

Good partnership between Silva and Dilshan

187-4 after 42


They should be able to swing for the boundary over the next 8 overs. They ought to reach 240-250.
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

Dilshan finally out

216-5 in the 46th over


Silva is still in there though. He's reached a half century in 4 straight matches!
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

And now Silva gone to begin the very next over!

216-6, and unless Arnold or Maharoof can do something impressive here, I think 250 is out of the question.
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

243/6 after 48 overs.
Looks like they will reach 250 after all.
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

244/6 after 49 overs, 6 more ball to go, can they make it to 250.
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

254/6 after 50
A good innings by the Sri Lankans. I await the Indian response :)
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

Sri Lanka finish 254-6.

Good last few overs from Arnold and Vaas.

This match is evenly poised right now. It should be a very exciting chase.
 
Re: India vs Srilanka match or war for super 8

Good c & b from Vaas. Not quite as good as some of the c & b's we've seen from Dwayne Bravo, but still good.

Uthappa out for 18

India 25-1 after 6.5 overs
