Sri Lanka lost their Group A
match against Pakistan by 11
runs after Pakistan posted a
first innings total of 277 for 7
off their allotted 50 overs.
Younis Khan scored 72 runs
while Misbah-ul-Haq top
scored with 83 while Shahid
Afridi was the pick of
Pakistani bowlers, picking up
four wickets for just 34 runs.
Sri Lanka began their innings
brightly with a 75 run
opening partnership where
T.M. Dilshan scored 41.
However, with the loss of
quick wickets and an
increasingly slow rate of
scoring Sri Lankans were
forced to force the issue.
They could only manage one
fifty in the innings where
Chamara Silva scored a
patient 57 runs while Captain
Kumar Sangakkara scored
49.
