So Eng must win and then it will come down to NRR. :hmmm:

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

England’s NRR is already better than that of the West Indies. So even if England only win by with the last ball of the match (or in a Super Over), they would still go through ahead of West Indies. The only chance for the Carribean boys is a Sri Lankan victory.

Kieswetter has been dropped. Bairstow is keeping.

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

This match could be a cracker...for England(the defending Champions) a do or die situation to stay in the tourney...just the wish for another super-over...I start loving it...lol

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

In that case Go Lanka.

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

England won the toss and elected to field...unlike Pakistan the other day...could be a good decision...

Go England...provide us some cool entertainment... :D

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

lol...Darren Sami the West Indian captain standing with the Lankan national anthem... :D

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

lol...most spinners are bad fielders...

SL 12/0 off 2.0 overs...

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

chitrol has started. 4 overs 34/0

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

are SLA losing their way

96/3 after 13.1 overs

England would feel confident chasing anything in the region of 150-160

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

SRI LANKAAAA :slflag:

not bad at all…very exciting batting…

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

Target for Eng: 170...should be getable if nothing dramatic happens... :D

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

169 to win for Eng. Not going to be easy.

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

@Zabardast - u chup rahooooo :emmy:

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

What an excellent recovery from SL after a slower start and quick mid way wickets!

SL are a good balanced side (experience and young talent)

They should get the better of England today...

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

JUST IN:

Sri Lanka are basically through - **England would need to chase 169 in less than 13 overs and that, **my friends, ain't gonna happen. So it's England v West Indies for the second semi-final spot.

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

Me need some entertainment… :smiley:

Re: ICC World Twenty20: Sri Lanka v England, Super Eights, Pallekele, Oct 01

England 16/1 after 2.3 overs
