England 131/3 after 17 overs
Sri Lankan bowlers losing the plot here. Did well to restrict England to 99/3 after 15 overs
but last 2 overs went for 32 runs!!
Buttler and Morgan looking dangerous
If Lanka lose today, they are out of the tournament, South Africa will be knocked out as well

Buttler 50 off 28 balls

It is possible that none of the Asian teams reach the semifinals of a tournament held in Asia, quite amazing
Re: World T20, 29th Match, Super 10 Group 1: England v Sri Lanka at Delhi, Mar 26, 20
171/4
England scored 72 runs in the last 5 overs
Just shows that the right players can still do a lot of damage in the last 5 overs no matter how well you bowl in the first 15!
Sri Lanka have their work cut out for them

Brilliant fight back by Sri lanka
132/5 after 16 overs
15.5
Ali to Perera, SIX
15.4
Ali to Mathews, 1 run, full toss! Just a single though, straight to deep square leg
15.3
Ali to Mathews, 2 runs, full toss worked for two - and Mathews manages two, somehow
49 from 28
15.2
Ali to Mathews, SIX, savage. Savage from Mathews! An angry, impetuous blow over midwicket - he hit that with immense power! http://i.imgci.com/espncricinfo/scorecard/icon-vid-pop-up.png
15.1
Ali to Mathews, SIX, he can’t run, but he can hit sixes. And that is huge. Mathews didn’t move his feet (didn’t need to), swinging through the line and clattering Ali for six over long-on http://i.imgci.com/espncricinfo/scorecard/icon-vid-pop-up.png
Mathews is really struggling. The physio’s on and is doing his best. 61 from 30. Sri Lanka are not out of this yet.
Re: World T20, 29th Match, Super 10 Group 1: England v Sri Lanka at Delhi, Mar 26, 20
15 required off the last over
Can Matthews do the impossible?
Re: World T20, 29th Match, Super 10 Group 1: England v Sri Lanka at Delhi, Mar 26, 20
Sri Lanka the holders are out despite a brilliant innings from Matthews. RSA out as well
England are in the semis
Re: World T20, 29th Match, Super 10 Group 1: England v Sri Lanka at Delhi, Mar 26, 20
Wow. How did SL make it this close. When I left they need 120 runs in 11 overs.

^ There were two big overs (12 and #16](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=16) went for 21 runs each) which brought Lanka right back into the game. Matthews got good support from Perera and Shanaka (fell in the 19th over to a sharp catch by Root). Had Shanaka stayed till the end, I believe Sri Lanka would have won. Unluckily for Sri Lanka, Matthews developed a cramp towards the end & was unable to run twos in the last 3 overs or so. That said England bowled well during the last two overs

Amazing. So fitness played key role at the end.
