... THE RUN CHASE ...

The target is a big one, Windies do have the fire power but the batting has not come to the fore so far. This is a must-win game. Will they do so tonight? Lanka have the quality to defend this. Their bowlers have also been in form. A good second essay awaits.

Charith Asalanka says that he is very pleased with the team's performance, they have a big total on board and now they have to defend it. Adds that the total is above par as they were thinking about 170. Mentions that Nissanka was brilliant and even Dasun did a brilliant job in the end. Asalanka smiles as he becomes the top-scorer in the tournament. Adds that the surface is good to bat on and as a tip for the bowlers, asks them just to bowl straight and bowl good lines.

The bowling was not at its best for the Windies here. There were far too many extras bowled and there were far too many boundary balls. Russell was the pick but the others took a real pounding. The fielding too was not the best and this is surely not what Pollard would have thought of after electing to bowl.

What a performance with the bat by Sri Lanka! They have actually saved their best for the last! The Lankans will be very pleased with where they stand in the game at the moment. The start was not the best though as they once again lost Perera early but Nissanka and Asalanka steadied the ship. They took Lanka on top with a brilliant partnership. Both scored half tons before the opener fell. Asalanka though continued along with Shanaka and the two formed another good partnership, capitalized on the foundation that was built and Sri Lanka have got to a very good total.
