It's looking like curtains. Get ready to collect your winnings DD.
Xtreme sweety, i’ll wait for them to crush India like they crushed us

SL 105/7 off 34.
108 required off 96 balls.
Nobody crushed us DD, we had an off day and they were playing without any pressure having already snatched 4 points off England in freak conditions.
Order a 5 course meal ;)
SL 123/7 off 38.1 overs.
Rain stopped play. If there is no match from here on Australia will go to the final under the D/L method.
ehsan bhai - I think they have reserve days for Semifinals , No ??
Xtreme - If your team had an off day then why cry about captaincy change, inquiry and all that 
Let the current team,captain play and we will see. 
Infact Rawalpindi passenger is having an Off month 
even the local batsman are spanking him now.
Yes Asif there is a reserve day but for some weird reason that because so much of the match has been played today that it is close to decision, the match will be decided today and therefore despite the fact that there is a reserve day, Australia will win if the rain does not stop.
SL needed to be on 172 to have won this match.
Weird rules but that is it. :(
Reserve day comes into play if BOTH teams can not face at least 25 overs. Only then it is considered a wash out.
Rampant Aussies through to final](BBC SPORT | Cricket World Cup 2003 | World Cup | Rampant Australia through to final)
Australia will play in their third successive World Cup final
World Cup semi-final, Port Elizabeth: Australia: 212-7 (50 overs) beat Sri Lanka 123-7 (38.1 overs) by 48 runs (D-L method)
Australia sauntered into their third successive World Cup final after brushing Sri Lanka aside with contemptuous ease in Port Elizabeth.
Chasing 213 to win, Sri Lanka were seven wickets down and a beaten team when rain forced players from the field in the 39th over.
Either India or Kenya await the reigning champions in Johannesburg on Sunday after their ruthless 48-run win.
Sri Lanka were bullied off their game by the pace of Brett Lee, who took three scalps in an opening spell that saw the 1996 winners lose six wickets for 39.
But the Aussies were also hugely indebted to Andrew Symonds, whose stylish unbeaten 91 not out bucked the trend on a low-scoring pitch.
The middle-order batsman survived a stumping chance before propelling Australia to a decent total.
After winning the toss, the Aussies sped to 34 in five hectic overs.
Symonds played a match-winning knock under difficult conditions
It took a refreshing piece of chivalry to stop them in their tracks when Adam Gilchrist walked despite an appeal for caught behind being given not out by umpire Rudi Koertzen.
Australia were in trouble when Vaas removed skipper Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden, both batsmen playing too early on attacking shots and scooping chances that were deftly held.
Both Symonds and Darren Lehmann played responsibly to get Australia’s innings back on track.
The pair added 93 in 22 overs but Lehmann was denied the chance to cash in on his patience when Jayasuriya bowled him to grab the first of his two scalps.
The Sri Lanka skipper found himself on a hat-trick when Michael Bevan edged behind first ball.
Brad Hogg survived but Australia were reeling again Ian Harvey fell to Vaas, whose three wickets took him to 23 for the tournament - the best return in any World Cup.
But the waywardness of Pusanthi Gunaratne allowed Symonds and Andy Bichel to score freely at the death.
Symonds ran out of time to add a century to the one he scored against Pakistan, but his effort meant Sri Lanka would have to set new chasing standards at the ground for this World Cup to win.
They started promisingly before the loss of Marvan Atapattu, clean bowled by a 100 mph Lee thunderbolt, sparked the side’s torrid top-order slide.
Glenn McGrath chipped in with the wicket of Sanath Jayasuriya before Hashan Tillakaratne and Avishka Gunawardene fished tamely at Lee and were caught off edges.
The game was over as a contest when Aravinda de Silva fell to a superb direct hit from Andy Bichel off his own bowling.
Kumar Sangakkara and Vaas battled admirably to the end, putting on 47 runs in 12 overs before weather sealed Sri Lanka’s fate.
In extending their winning sequence in one-dayers to 17, Australia atoned for their 1996 final defeat at the hands of Jayasuriya’s men.
Let us see who faces Australia : Kenya or India?
Have a Nice Day
