Today's match between Pak and Sri Lanka was an exciting one. Both the teams were looking tough and wanted the win in the world cup. The match started at 2:30 in the morning. Pakistan had won the toss and elected to bat first. The two openers gave a good confident start to the Pakistani team but soon it looked that the sri lankan's had the upper hand in the match but the two batsman yonus khan and misbah-ul-haq played brilliantly they both reached their 50's but soon Yonus Khan's wicket fell and Umar Akmal came into the pitch. Misbah-ul-haq was still going strong. After that wickets started to fell in the depth overs and Pakistan reached to a total of 277runs. The Sri Lankan's had never won a single game against Pakistan in the world cup. After that the Sri Lankan's came on to bat. The two openers gave an excellent start to the team but the team soon began to collapse.
Kumar Sangakara played an excellent innings but it was his unfortunate that he was caught out on 49 by Afridi. After that Silva who reached to his 50 was playing marvelously it looked as though that the Sri Lankan's were gonna win the match but soon his wicket fell and the Sri Lankan's last hope was gone after that it was all about Pakistan. They played like champs and are on their way onto the nest round. Their next match is against with Canada and if they won this match they will qualify for the nest round. The man of the match in today's match was Shahid Khan Afridi for his brilliant 4wickets. Pakistan won the match by 13runs and are now on the top on their group.
