Match State: Match start scheduled for 1230 GMT (14:30 local)
Match Referee Dennis Lindsay and the captains making their way to
the middle for the toss
Hooper tossed the coin and it falls for Sanath who elects to have a
bat
Sri Lankan Team is: *ST Jayasuriya, MS Atapattu, HP Tillakaratne,
PA de Silva, DPMD Jayawardene, RP Arnold, +KC Sangakkara, WPUJC
Vaas, M Muralitharan, CRD Fernando, PW Gunaratne
West Indies Team is: WW Hinds, CH Gayle, BC Lara, RR Sarwan, *CL
Hooper, S Chanderpaul, RL Powell, +RD Jacobs, VC Drakes, M Dillon,
PT Collins
Respective 12th men are J Mubarak for Sri Lanka and MN Samuels for
West Indies
So Sri Lanka will have first use of the pitch and hope the
conditions are such that they will assist when the lights come on
this evening
A bright sunny day with a strong south easterly wind which may help
the bowlers to swing it a bit with rain very unlikely
Talk of how different conditions are in the day and night has been
doing the rounds
Only two grounds in this World Cup are being used due to the time
of year and the possiblity of dew and conditions having too great
an influence
From experience I would say that batting first in late February and
if the moisture moves in is probably worth around 30 runs or so
Today I'd say it may be worth closer to 20 then 30 so the question
one must ask is if West Indies are 20 runs better than Sri Lanka

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
