Sri Lanka move into World Cup final after hiccup
By Suneer Chowdhary
When Upul Tharanga danced down the pitch and lofted Nathan McCullum for a six off the third ball of the Sri Lankan innings, the intentions had been laid clear. It was Sri Lanka’s way of telling New Zealand that they were not going to approach the mediocre Kiwi target with the trepidation of South Africa.

Sri Lanka nose out New Zealand to reach final
By Jamie Alter
Sri Lanka set up an all-Asian final in Mumbai as they ended New Zealand’s dream, brushing aside the opposition in a five-wicket semi-final success in Colombo. The win was set up in the field when Sri Lanka’s bowlers kept New Zealand to 217 and then the batsmen knocked off the runs with 13 balls to go, overcoming a bit of nerves after a strong start.

New Zealand fare poorly with bat in World Cup semi-final
By Suneer Chowdhary
With the media and fan focus on the second semi-final that has been unkindly described as a war by some, the first semi-final could well have been referred to the 'other remaining game’. The manner in which New Zealand emulated what England had done in the quarter-final with the bat would have only made matters worse for this low-profile semi-final.

By Jamie Alter
Having made first use of the Premadasa surface, New Zealand failed to flex their muscles against a tidy Sri Lankan attack. As against England in the quarter-finals, the home spinners weren’t menacing but managed to keep matters in control, with only Scott Styris crossing fifty for New Zealand.

Semi-final Preview: Sri Lanka favourites but Kiwis not filling in numbers
By Suneer Chowdhary
On one hand is a side which was the favourite to lift the trophy at the start of the tournament. On the other, is a team which in their dark shirts weren’t even the dark horses to get beyond the quarter-finals. So when Sri Lanka meet New Zealand in the first semi-final of the ICC World Cup at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, the home team can be expected to have an easy ride to the final.

Semi-final Preview: Kiwis aim for first final against a strong Sri Lankan side
By Jamie Alter
It’s a repeat of 2007. Four years ago, Sri Lanka and New Zealand met in the World Cup semi-finals at Sabina Park. On that day, Sri Lanka won on the back of a handsome century from Mahela Jayawardene. Both teams have admitted a sense of déjà vu ahead of the biggest match of the tournament.
