Australia v Sri Lanka: Both teams awarded a point each as the rain intervenes
A crucial group ‘A’ match of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 has been abandoned. The match was evenly poised when the rain intervened, which should disappoint both the teams as the result of this
match is bound to affect the standings of the teams at the end of the group stage.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 played three specialist spinners.
Sri Lanka made only one change to their previous lineup as Nuwan Kulasekra was replaced by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HMRKB-Herath-c1559. Australia played an unchanged side against the hosts.
The decision to bat first looked shaky at the start of the Sri Lankan innings as they lost a couple of early wickets. However Sangakkara looked in sublime touch today and was very intend to dismantle the Aussies. He stabilized the Sri Lankan ship alongside
former captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Samaraweera-c2712 as both of them took the home team’s score to 146 runs for the loss of three wickets in 32.5 overs.
Sangakkara remained unbeaten on 73 runs which came off 102 balls with the help of seven boundaries. Samaraweera on the other hand was not out on 34 runs off 48 balls. Both of them scored 71 runs in their unbeaten partnership.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brett-Lee-c48419 picked up a wicket each for the Kangaroos.
It was a much awaited encounter all around the world as both these teams played the final of the previous edition of the tournament as well and both are in good form in the limited overs formant of the game recently. This match was also considered as the
crunch match of group ‘A’ as both teams wanted to gain two very important points in order to go higher on the points table. The two teams were awarded a point each as no result was possible which is a huge disappointment for the cricket fans.
