world cup match
The match today at Wellington was a sharp contrast of what happened
yesterday at Auckland. Cohosts Australia New Zealand played a low
scoring thriller yesterday. Australia scoring only 151 almost defended
the total before going down by one wicket to New Zealand. Today England
batted steadily posted an impressive 309/6. Sri Lanka batted beautifully
and cruised to 9 wickers win sinking the English pride to a possible
first round exit from the world Cup. This was only the second instance a
score of over 300 was successfully chased. Sri Lankan icon Sangrakkara
scored yet another majestic century his second in this world cup century
in the last four days. Thirimanne also sparkled with an unbeaten 139*.
Joe Roots smart century was eclipsed by dominating Lankan batting.
England is now left with two must win games against Afghanistan and Bangladesh for any chance of advancing into
quarter final. Any more slippage will get them early tickets back home
empty handed.
