Australia vs Sri Lanka
Super 8, Match 19, AUS vs SL: 26 and not out for Aussies
Apr 16, 2007
Australia wrapped up a comfortable seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka in Grenada, scoring 232-3 to extend their unbeaten World Cup run to 26 games. Captain Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds saw Australia home with an unbeaten fourth-wicket stand of 106. Earlier Sri Lanka were bowled out for 226 as they tried to end Australia's 25-game unbeaten one-day run. They lost three early wickets before captain Mahela Jayawardene (72) and Chamara Silva (64) compiled a patient stand of 140 for the fourth wicket. But five wickets fell for 17 runs and only a late assault took the score past 200, while Nathan Bracken took 4-19. In the morning, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first in Monday's World Cup Super Eights clash with world champions Australia under a hot sun on a slow pitch at the Grenada National Stadium. Australia team: A C Gilchrist, M L Hayden, R T Ponting, M J Clarke, A Symonds, M E K Hussey, B J Hodge, G B Hogg, N W Bracken, S W Tait, G D McGrath

World Cup Super 8, Match 19, Grenada: Australia 232-3 bt Sri Lanka 226 all out by seven wickets
Super 8, Match 19, AUS vs SL: Sri Lanka take on Australia to assert supremacy
Apr 16, 2007
Sri Lanka will enjoy conditions equivalent to a home match in Monday's World Cup Super Eights clash with world champions Australia under a hot sun on a slow pitch at the Grenada National Stadium.
Both teams have already qualified for the semi-finals on April 24 and 25 along with New Zealand who beat South Africa by five wickets on Saturday. The Sri Lankans ended New Zealand's unbeaten run on Thursday with a six-wicket victory and Kiwi skipper Stephen Fleming later admitted it had been a mistake to play only one spinner on a surface which has suited the slower bowlers.
Even in the probable absence of strike bowler Lasith Malinga, who has injured his left ankle, Sri Lanka field a versatile attack headed by Chaminda Vaas's left-arm swing and Muttiah Muralitharan's right-arm off spin. They also possess Sanath Jayasuriya, still one of the most destructive opening batsman in the world, and a host of other stroke-makers ready to take on an Australian attack which has not yet been fully tested during their unbeaten progression through the tournament. Australia team (from): R Ponting (Captain), A Gilchrist, M Hayden, M Clarke, A Symonds, B Hodge, M Hussey, B Hogg, N Bracken, G McGrath, S Tait, S Clark, M Johnson, B Haddin.
Sri Lanka team (from): M Jayawardene (Captain), S Jayasuriya, U Tharanga, K Sangakkara, C Silva, T Dilshan, R Arnold, C Vaas, F Maharoof, D Fernando, M Muralitharan, M Atapattu, N Kulasekera, M Bandara.
