Sri Lanka win ICC WC T20

Sri Lanka win ICC World Cup T20

T M Dilshan (18) was caught by Kohli at deep square leg fence off Ashwin as Sangakkara joined Jayawardene. Jayawardene's crisp 24 ended when he tried an uncharacteristically cross-batted heave off Suresh Raina that was caught at deep mid-wicket boundary by Ashwin. Lahiru Thirimanne (7) was dismissed when he went for a cut shot and Dhoni snapped it brilliantly behind the stumps off Mishra's bowling. Sri Lanka were 78 for four at that stage but Perera and Sangakkara coolly carried the team home. Earlier, Kohli struck his fourth half century of the tournament with yet another superb effort but Lankan bowlers applied brakes on a struggling Yuvraj Singh which certainly hampered the scoring rate to a large extent.
