  • India won by 183 runs  
           The cameo may have been entertaining, but the batting performance
            that preceded it could not have been for Sri Lankan fans, and
            India register a big win here at Jo'burg, crushing Sri Lanka by
            183 runs
           India were on course to the semi-finals in any case, but this win
            definitely puts them there, even as Sri Lanka go down to their
            second defeat in a row in the Super Six
           They must now pull off a win against Zimbabwe if they are to see
            the semi-finals, whereas India just continue to impress, looking
            strong contenders for the title
           India's batsmen registered a strong show with the bat first, and
            then their bowlers bundled out Sri Lanka for just 109
           Sri Lanka's batting could only last 23 overs against Zaheer,
            Srinath and Nehra
           The Sri Lankans must really pick themselves up from hereon in if
            they are to make it to the knockout stage and progress any further
            past that.
           Sanath Jayasuriya may regret his decision at the toss, but he must
            now move his team past the two Super Six losses
           Javagal Srinath has been named Man of the Match for his haul of
            four wickets for 35 runs
           Join us tomorrow for CricInfo's live coverage of the Australia-New
            Zealand Super Six match, starting at 1000 local and 1330 IST. Till
            then, goodbye.
