14 June 2009 (20-over match)


Sri Lanka innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
TM Dilshan	c †NJ O'Brien b Rankin	0	1	2	0	0	0.00
0.2 got him! Rankin strikes! A good, straight bouncer which Dilshan tried to pull but top edged it to O'Brien's left, who jogged a few metres to swallow an easier skier. Massive wicket! 0/1
ST Jayasuriya	lbw b McCallan	27	50	27	5	0	100.00
11.4 gone! There's the breakthrough for Ireland, Jayasuriya goes for the sweep and is taken on the inside of the front pad...big appeal from McCallan and Tony Hill raises his finger. Jayasuriya isn't happy and that breaks an important stand 81/3
KC Sangakkara*†	c †NJ O'Brien b Johnston	3	13	10	0	0	30.00
3.3 got him now! A brilliant catch by O'Brien standing up to the stumps, Sangakkara beaten by extra bounce and getting a thin edge to the keeper. And he walks! 14/2
DPMD Jayawardene	b Cusack	78	60	53	9	1	147.16
17.6 gone! Cusack strikes again and this is the big one. Jayawardene gives himself room to go through the off side, but he misses and Cusack hits. 128/6
LPC Silva	c Rankin b McCallan	4	9	6	0	0	66.66
13.5 another goes, this time the sweep proves the downfall as a top edge goes straight down Rankin's throat at deep square-leg. Silva couldn't have picked out the fielder any better 97/4
J Mubarak	c †NJ O'Brien b Cusack	7	11	9	0	0	77.77
17.3 another wicket at a good time for Ireland, Mubarak went for a pull and gets a big top edge that loops high on the off side, Niall O'Brien calls for it and takes the catch easily 126/5
AD Mathews	b Cusack	10	8	7	1	0	142.85
19.2 gone! The golden spell from Cusack continues as he castles Mathews, who tried to sweep this fine but missed...Cusack has just stuck to bowling straight and it has worked 139/8
KMDN Kulasekara	c Mooney b Rankin	1	4	2	0	0	50.00
18.4 and another! Kulasekara drives in the air to long off where John Mooney runs in to take a fine low catch 132/7
M Muralitharan	st †NJ O'Brien b Cusack	0	3	1	0	0	0.00
19.5 and another! Murali can only last one ball, has a big swing at a full toss, misses, and Niall O'Brien brings off another superb stumping. His glovework has been outstanding in this tournament 140/9
