Kulasekara to Akmal. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump backing away cutting, well timed to cover for no runs, fielded by Mendis. It is all over and Sri Lanka have booked themselves a spot in the final where they will face either Australia or West Indies. Sri Lanka bowled and fielded very well. Pakistan were never allowed to score freely and wickets fell at regular intervals as the pressure kept building. Herath returned to the starting line-up for Sri Lanka and he finished with career best figures of 3 for 25. Sri Lanka will fancy their chances of winning the final as they have the support of the home crowd behind them. Mahela Jayawardene is delighted with his teams performance and this will be a big confidence booster after defending a low total.
