Things all started to go pear shaped when Sarwan was hit and had to go off to hospital to be checked out. Up until then West Indies had looked in control even though they had lost a few early wickets

Jayasuriya did well using his bowlers to perfection with Vaas being the pick and likely to be named MoM in IMO.

Sri Lanka did well under some pressure after the poor performance in Nairobi. Vaas indeed named for his wonderful spell and has been the arrow in the quiver that Sanath carries. Sri Lanka now basically through no matter what but there is still lots to play for

Be sure to be here as we continue to bring coverage of the World Cup with Bangladesh vs Kenya and the India vs Pakistan game which is sure to be a great one tomorrow
