Sri Lanka comfortably disposed of the West Indies in the second 20/20 world cup semi-final.

Sri Lanka batted first and managed a respectable 158 for 5, after Tillekaratne Dilshan’s struck an unbeaten 96 not out off only 57 deliveries. Whilst the rest of the Sri Lankan side batted quite poorly, Dilshan held the innings together and helped Sri Lanka post a competitive total.

The West Indies on the other hand started their innings in the worst possible manner. Gayle got an early single, before Angelo Mathews’s struck 3 times in the first over. At 1/3, Gayle was the West Indies last hope and he managed to bat through. However it was the lack of support and wickets at the other end that sealed the West Indies’ fate.

This sets up a Pakistan – Sri Lanka final at Lords. It makes for an intruiging clash with some great batters, fast bowlers and spinners. In the end I think it’ll come down to 1 player winning the game for their respective teams. I think Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul could win it for the Pakistanis, and they are my favourites to win another world cup..
