Semi final 1

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka. New Zealand in every world cup they get to a semi final and lose never been to a world final.

These two where in the same group and Sri Lanka won. New Zealand won the toss and bat first bat they made a collapse after Syris have left. Murali it's his last ODI and it was very special it was in his home ground & in front of his people. He took 2/42 sad moment for him.

I said on twitter they going to be all out before 50 overs and it was just like that. Malinga took three, Mendis took three, Murali took two, Hearth took one and Dilshan took one wicket. Ten wicket fell for 217. I thought 250 was on the cards for New Zealand but just never happen's any more. Sri Lanka is off too a victory an into the finals.

Sri Lanka they have lost it for a while and losing wicket's but then every one was on a panic mode. The batsmen that's was coming on they where slow and run rate was going high. I was praying come on they have to do it some one should try but with Sri Lanka their always be some one who would win the game for them.
New Zealand was doing well Tim Southee he was dangerous he took three wicket's. They where getting close. Matthews came in injured but has a runner. Matthews where slow at the start and giving Samaraweera. Sri Lanka has he longest national anthem and their names. He was scoring run a ball at least but then Mathews come up and hit a boundaries and even a six.

Samara hit the last ball the winning runs so they thought. It was called a dead ball from the umpire just before the bowler delivered as he was distracted by the many fireworks going off round the stadium, celebrations where going off early.
They where waiting just to get that boundary and won. Sri Lanka victory a book their tickets to Mumbai, their second final in a row, what an achievement this is.

I love Kumar Sangakkara wining captain and through to the final on the 2 April 2011.
The last game for Murali in Sri Lanka, we really wanted to give him a good send-off. Our bowling variety has been great, our fast bowlers are good, our spinners have been good. Murali is the icon of Sri Lanka, on the field, off the field, a fantastic human being and a great team man." The crowd goes absolutely wild as Sangakkara gives a message in Sinhalese to the partying fans. He says the team should realise they haven't won anything yet, we have just reached the final. Sangakkara is also the Man of the Match, receives the trophy.
