Things all started to go pear shaped when Sarwan was hit and had to
go off to hospital to be checked out
Up until then West Indies had looked in control even though they
had lost a few early wickets

Jayasuriya did well using his bowlers to perfection with Vaas being
the pick and likely to be named MoM in IMO
Sri Lanka did well under some pressure after the poor performance
in Nairobi
Vaas indeed named for his wonderful spell and has been the arrow in
the quiver that Sanath carries
Sri Lanka now basically through no matter what but there is still
lots to play for
Be sure to be here as we continue to bring coverage of the World
Cup with Bangladesh vs Kenya and the India vs Pakistan game which
is sure to be a great one tomorrow
