Fantastic batting by Duminy. Very underrated batsman.

 

[SL_Fan]

SA are clear favourites now. This pitch will come alive under lights.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Go Duminy. Mature batting.

[Justcrazy]

239 is Target

 

[JustAnotherFan]

SL have already declared taken the loss.

 

[SL_Fan]

Malinga mendis malinga mendis malinga mendis malinga mendis malinga mendis

Definitely not predictable that good stuff kaptaan. Goes well with

Malinga perera malinga perera malinga perera

in the last game. Worked out well didn't it.

 

[SL_Fan]

Last wicket 33 runs

 

[Ims1]

SL should get this . hardly a big total .

 

[SL_Fan]

SL have already declared taken the loss.

We'll declare on 23/3 at the 5 overs mark thank you very much

 

[IndianWillow]

ODI scores have come down by 20 runs since the new rules were introduced. 238 will not be a cake walk.

This wicket comes alive under lights. Can't explain why but it just goes crazy lol. Prolly a good idea not to play D/N games in SL except at the newly relaid RPS imo. The toss plays way too much of a role.

Really? That's a bit of a doozie. Compared to the ODI rules immediately before I presume?

 

[SL_Fan]

Maybe it has something to do with ODI wickets of late being somewhat sporting?

I think it is too unfair when toss helps too much. We shall see.

 

[SL_Fan]

Hope it doesn't go too crazy like last game.

 

[Ims1]

Looks like a easy win for chasers . 13 for none in 13 balls.

 

[Ims1]

Decent start .no wicket yet .

 

[Ims1]

30 for none in 7 overs .

 

[soso_killer]

What a catch Amla

 

[SL_Fan]

MJ out big wicket.

 

[Ims1]

47 for 1 & still think it will be easy .

 

[SL_Fan]

Amla's throw

 

[SL_Fan]

47 for 1 & still think it will be easy .

Highest successful chase here is around 200 I think. Not playing up as much as it did last game thankfully tho. This is a different wicket I think.

SA bowling and fielding extremely well giving away no freebies. This will take some getting no doubt.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Hmmm ... finally some excitement

 

[JustAnotherFan]

OK, just a 4

 

[SL_Fan]

Sanga very lucky there SA for some reason didn't go for the review. 50 up for Dilly. Well played. Still any one's game.

 

[SL_Fan]

Duminy is doing one heck of a job with the ball again.

 

[SL_Fan]

50 for sanga nearly gave it away there. 100 partnership as well.

 

[WebGuru]

It's always a pleasure to watch Sanga batting...

What's wrong with Africa and West Indies fielding these days?

Well done Dilshan

 

[SL_Fan]

Top 100 by Dilly had to work hard for most of them.

 

[SL_Fan]

No 100 for sanga but a fine knock nonetheless. Was any one's game but a brilliant partnership that.

Good game the scoreboard prolly doesn't tell the whole story. Could have gone either way if it wasn't for the Dilly Sanga partnership. Commiserations SA.

Congratulations to all Lankans here at PP
