India 163/5 (20/20 ov)
Sri Lanka 167/5 (20.0/20 ov)
Sri Lanka won by 5 wickets (with 0 balls remaining)
The entire Sri Lankan team charge onto the field, screaming in joy. Kumar Sangakkara can’t stop grinning. India trudge off without a single win in the Super Eights, just as in the previous World Twenty20.
It seemed Sri Lanka had left it for too late but a flurry of sixes from Mathews and Kapugedera has given them the win they needed. Sangakkara had played a crucial innings earlier, with his three sixes helping Sri Lanka stay in touch.
