West Indies set 80 in nine overs to beat England

LONDON: West Indies were set a revised target of 80 in nine overs to beat England in their World Twenty20 Super Eights match at the Oval here on Monday under the Duckworth/Lewis rule for rain-affected matches.

Whoever won this match would go through to the semi-finals from Group E along with South Africa.

If West Indies finished on 79 at the end of nine overs, an ''eliminator over'' would be used to determine the winner.

England, whose innings was interrupted by a 30-minute rain break, made 161 for six in their full 20 overs.

But a fresh downpour delayed the start of the West Indies'' reply and that led to the re-calculation.

West Indies needed to bat for a minimum of five overs for a result to be achieved in this match, otherwise it would end as a no-result draw.

If that was the case, West Indies would go through to the last four because of their superior run-rate before this fixture.

WI in semis as England out of World T20

LONDON: The West Indies have qualified for the semi-finals as they defeated England in the rain-delayed Super Eights under the Duckworth/Lewis rule for rain-affected matches here at The Oval on Monday.

They were set a revised target of 80 runs from nine overs after rain interrupted the game. However, they achieved it in 8.2 overs for the loss of five wickets.

LONDON: Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul steered the West Indies into the semi-finals of the World Twenty20 at England''s expense as they beat the hosts by five wickets on the Duckworth/Lewis method here Monday.

West Indies, set a revised target of 80 in nine overs after rain delayed the start of the second innings, finished on 82 for five at the Oval with four balls to spare to triumph in a Super Eights match where the winners knew they were going through to the last four.

Sarwan was 19 not out and Chanderpaul 17 not out, their unbroken stand worth 37 after West Indies had been wobbling at 45 for five in the sixth over.

But the experienced duo got the target down to 16 off two overs.

And that became four off seven balls when left-hander Chanderpaul clipped Stuart Broad off his pads for a boundary.

They were left needing three off the last over from Ryan Sidebottom and Sarwan''s second ball four saw them home.

Earlier, West Indies captain Chris Gayle square cut James Anderson for four but later in the first over opening partner Andre Fletcher fell for his third straight duck when he skied the bowler to wicket-keeper James Foster.

That left the West Indies six for one but in the next over, from left-arm quick Sidebottom, Gayle drove and square cut two superb boundaries.

However, with his fifth ball, Sidebottom bowled the left-hander for 15 and the West Indies were 16 for two.

And the very next ball that became 16 for three when Lendl Simmons was out for a golden duck after a cut off Stuart Broad flew straight to Sidebottom at third man.

But Kieron Pollard rallied West Indies by driving off-spinner Graeme Swann for six.

Leg-spinner Adil Rashid was then launched for six first ball over extra-cover by Dwayne Bravo but hit back fourth ball to bowl Pollard.

T20: Sri Lanka bat against New Zealand
NOTTINGHAM: Sri Lanka's captain Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and elected to bat against New Zealand in a crucial group F Super Eights match of the World Twenty20 here on Tuesday.

The winner will join Pakistan in the semi-finals. Sri Lanka have four points from two games against New Zealand's two, but the Kiwis enjoy a superior net run-rate.

If Sri Lanka win, they will top the group with six points, leaving Pakistan in second place with four points.

A New Zealand win will leave all three teams on four points each, but Pakistan are safe since they have the best net run-rate in the group, which also featured minnows Ireland.

Sri Lanka replaced Nuwan Kulasekera with another seamer Isuru Udana, while Ross Taylor returned for New Zealand after a hamstring injury in place of James Franklin.

Sri Lanka: Kumar Sangakkara (capt), Sanath Jayasuriya, Tillekaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Jehan Mubarak, Chamara Silva, Angelo Mathews, Lasith Malinga, Muttiah Muralitharan, Isuru Udana, Ajantha Mendis.

New Zealand: Daniel Vettori (capt), Brendon McCullum, Ian Butler, Ross Taylor, Martin Guptill, Nathan McCullum, Peter McGlashan (wkt), Kyle Mills, Jacob Oram, Aaron Redmond, Scott Styris.

Super8 round coming to end today
LONDON: The Super Eight round of ICC Twenty20 World Cup is going to be completed with two matches being played today.

The Geo Super will live telecast both the matches from the ground.

New Zealand will play today’s first match against Sri Lanka at 1830 PST. This match is do-or-die for the Kiwis, as if they were routed by the Sri Lankans, they will be shown out of the tournament.

Similarly, if Sri Lanka is defeated, New Zealand may go to the Semi-final.

South Africa will play today’s second match at 2230 PST against India. The defence champions India are out of the tournament, therefore, the match is not important.

Both the matches will be played in Trent Bridge Nottingham.

Sri Lanka set Kiwis 159-run target
NOTTINGHAM: Sri Lanka set a rather tough target of 159 runs for New Zealand in their last Super Eights encounter of the World Twenty20 here at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.

After Sri Lanka's captain Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and elected to bat in a crucial group F Super Eights match, his batsmen succeeded in making 158 runs for the loss of five wickets in the allotted 20 overs.

Main scorers were Tillakaratne Dilshan (48), Mahela Jayawardene (41 not out) and Kumar Sangakkara (35).

For New Zealand, their captain Daniel Vettori was the most successful bowler taking two wickets for 32 runs.

The winners will join Pakistan in the semi-finals. Sri Lanka have four points from two games against New Zealand's two, but the Kiwis enjoy a superior net run-rate.

If Sri Lanka win, they will top the group with six points, leaving Pakistan in second place with four points.

A New Zealand win will leave all three teams on four points each, but Pakistan are safe since they have the best net run-rate in the group, which also featured minnows Ireland.

Sri Lanka oust NZ, reach World T20 semis

NOTTINGHAM: Ajantha Mendis spun out New Zealand as Sri Lanka roared into the World Twenty20 semi-finals with an emphatic 48-run win at Trent Bridge here on Tuesday.

The mystery spinner grabbed 3-9 in three overs as the Black Caps failed miserably to chase down a target of 159 in a must-win game and were shot out for 110 in 17 overs.

Martin Guptill top-scored with 43, but New Zealand lost their last eight wickets for 46 runs after being comfortably placed at 64-2 in eight overs.

Sri Lanka topped group F with three straight wins, following their all-win record in the preliminary league, and now travel to the Oval in London for the second semi-final on Friday.

Their opponents will be either South Africa or the West Indies, depending on the result of the last Super Eights match between the Proteas and India here later on Tuesday.

Pakistan take the second spot in the group with four points, two more than New Zealand, and play the first semi-final at Trent Bridge on Thursday.

Sri Lanka''s gamble to give the second over to spinner Sanath Jayasuriya backfired as Aaron Redmond smashed the left-armer for three consecutive boundaries and a six.

Redmond, however, failed to survive Lasith Malinga''s first over, the fifth of the innings, when he misjudged a slower ball and tapped an easy catch to mid-wicket.

New Zealand moved to 64-2 when Mendis turned the game around with two wickets in four balls, having Ross Taylor stumped before bowling Scott Styris.

Another two wickets fell for as many runs when Isuru Udana bowled Jacob Oram and Jayasuriya had the dangerous Guptill caught on the square-leg fence by Angelo Mathews.

Sri Lanka continued to strike at regular intervals to wrap up the match with three overs to spare.

Earlier, Sri Lankan captain skipper Kumar Sangakkara made 35 to anchor his side to 158-5 after he won the toss and elected to bat on a good wicket.

Sangakkara put on 62 in 49 balls for the third wicket with Tillekaratne Dilshan and 50 for the fourth with former captain Mahela Jayawardene after he won the toss and elected to bat on a good wicket.

Dilshan hit a pugnacious 48 off 37 balls before tapping a catch to the cover fielder off New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori in the 12th over.

Vettori also removed Sangakkara in the 18th over to a catch in the deep to finish with two for 32 in his four overs.

Jayawardene remained unbeaten on 41 off 29 balls that included the only six of the innings and six fours.
