[Nate]

Sri Lanka could use Malinga's batting heroics here.

[Ikki]

Finished now.

Lollll at Umar walking towards the rope after his catch. Wouldn't want that to go wrong!

 

[vicleggie]

wow, congrats pakistan. they have killed 2 birds with one stone- win a cricket match, and turn a one sided match from nowhere into a heartwrenching thriller... coincidence?

Herath.. 4(10) at this stage is terrible. Still kudos SL for coming this close. Kulasekera tried his best.

I know it was a lost cause at the time, but why send Herath before Murali.

Good fight back from Sri Lanka. I was really pulling for them to take the victory.

cricinfo:"Wicket of the day
Thirty-five years old, a near-permanent limp and a more colourful past than Charlie Sheen, yet somehow Shoaib Akhtar is alive and kicking it at the World Cup"
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! LOVE THE SHO-MAN. NO BETTER SIGHT IN WORLD CRICKET. PERIOD.

 

[cricpk]

Pakistan did it
Should have been a 30-40 runs victory but ..............
By the way, What will happen now that Pakistan will know that they have lots of work to do to be competative against other sides & will work hard.

Apparently Sri Lanka has never beaten Pakistan in a World Cup? Definitely a surprising statistic. Anyway a good win for Pakistan and they have to be considered serious contenders now. This World Cup is wide open though I have a bad feeling Australia will win it yet again.

mixed feelings glad with the win but should have been a 40-50 run win that would have send the staement to the big boys.We were excellent for 75 overs and pretty much rubbish for other 25. This performance will not win the cup.

First home defeat for Sri Lanka in a World Cup match. Like I said after the match against Kenya, we all know which Pakistan has turned up. Well done.

As an Indian fan, I'm liking this. That's right Pakistan, get all your good performances out of the way, and then surprise us all with a rubbish one against India.

its amazing how Kakmal's show behind the stumps effect the team's performance everything was going nicely till he missed the stumping then it kinda snowballed from there having said all this I should shut up now winning a WC game at Premadasa vs the home side is actually a decent effort.

who knows India are also saving their poorest game of the year for Pakistan
Well this time around there will be more pressure on India than on Pakistan because India are being expected to win this time.

Hopefully Sreesanth can surprise us all with a good performance against someone.
