    Sri Lanka's form across this tournament has been ordinary so this is no surprise.

    Rain still predicted so this batting may not yet be in vain

    Ravindra gets the final wicket.

    Sri Lanka all out for 171.

    Bowlers have done the job. It's all up to the batsmen now

    Good opening partnership to get us going despite Conway not dealing too well with Chameera, who finally got him.

    Only 86 more to get and we have out two best bats out there in Kane and Ravindra.

    Spoke too soon. Poor shot and timing by Ravindra.

    We’ve lost two quick ones.

    Sheesh that was terrible.
    Chapman and Mitchell in a bad mix up and Chapman is run out.

    It was Chapman’s call and Mitchell sent him back.

    Chapman not a happy camper.

    That’s the non-strikers call, so Chapman.

    Now Mitchell goes to a brilliant catch.

    We are losing too many wickets for a simple chase and target.

    It's worth it to try and improve net run rate by getting the target as quickly as possible.

    Phillips with the climax, pulls it firmly to the square leg boundary

    All in all that went about as well as can be hoped. Job done.

    I agree on trying to score quickly, but I thought three of our wickets were down to poor decisions. Don’t mind Mitchell’s he was as least going for it.

    Simon Doull really is a fabulous commentator/presenter. He's a real natural at it.

    New Zealand all but by the most improbable of mathematical possibilities locked in their place in the World Cup semi-final with a dominant five-wicket win - with 160 balls left - against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru. The result means they move to ten points, and a net run rate (NRR) of 0.743. That essentially means Pakistan need to beat England by 287 runs, while Afghanistan need an even more fantastical 438-run win over Australia if they are to surpass New Zealand's NRR.
    If Pakistan happen to chase, this becomes even more unlikely a possibility, as they would need to chase a hypothetical target of 150 in 3.4 overs.

    They’d need nothing but sixes off no balls. Definitely possible

    Good to get into the semi finals once again.

    What an amazing record we have in CWC’s even if we have actually won one yet (don’t get me started!)

    India in the semi will be very tough, however it’s a ODI and anything can happen. We seem to have a fit squad now and I am sure we have a chance. Not as much as India but a chance it is.
