]]> Colombo: Pakistan after a tough fight defeated Sri Lanka by 11 runs in their crucial Group A match in the ICC World Cup here at the Premadasa Stadium on Saturday.
Shahid Afridi came up with another superb bowling performance after taking his first World Cup five-wicket haul in the previous match against Kenya.
He captured four for 34 runs which included his 300th one-day international wicket when he dismissed Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara for 49.
Sri Lanka, chasing Pakistan’s total of 277-7, replied with 266-9.
They have now lost seven times to their sub-continental neighbours in the World Cup, falling in 1975, 1983 (twice), 1987 (twice) and 1992.
After captain Shahid Afridi won the toss, Pakistan stalwarts Younus Khan (72) and Misbah-ul-Haq (83) not out) shared a century partnership to set co-hosts Sri Lanka a challenging target to chase under lights.
But Pakistan spinners strangled the Sri Lankan batsmen, capturing six of the nine wickets to fall.
Sri Lanka got off to a good start with openers Upul Tharanga (33) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (41) putting together 76, but got bogged down in the middle overs and despite a late spurt towards the target fell agonisingly short.
Chamara Silva led a late onslaught with a top score of 57 and Nuwan Kulasekara hit a quick 24 off 14 balls, but Sri Lanka had left their run chase a little too late.
Openers Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga provided a sound start of 76 runs but Sri Lanka lost four quick wickets for 20 runs, reeling at 96 for four.
Then, captain Kumar Sangakkara and Thilan Samaraweera took the score to 167 before Sangakkara departed. They added 71 runs for the fifth wicket.
Other batsmen could not resist the accurate Pakistan bowling despite fielding lapses. But Chamara Silva batted aggressively to become top scorer for Sri Lanka with 57 off 78 balls.
Pakistan stalwarts Younus Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq shared a century partnership after Afridi had won the toss and chose to bat first.
The pair came together after Pakistan were reduced to 105 for three and they provided a solid foundation for Pakistan’s eventual testing target.

]]> New Delhi: West Indies’ World Cup hopes suffered a major body blow on Saturday when key all-rounder Dwayne Bravo was ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a knee injury.
Bravo, a veteran of 110 internationals, suffered the injury while bowling in his team’s opening defeat against South Africa at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in New Delhi on Thursday.
He was initially ruled out for the remainder of the league stage, but is now flying back to the Caribbean for treatment on the damaged left knee.
A scan revealed the 27-year-old, who made 40 in the seven-wicket defeat to South Africa, had sprained his anterior cruciate ligament and torn his knee cartilage.
“This is a blow for us. Dwayne is our vice-captain and one of the key members of our team,” said coach Ottis Gibson.
“He has been showing good form with the bat and batted well against South Africa.
“He is also a livewire in the field and a reliable bowler. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope he gets back on the field soon.”
The West Indies lost opening batsman Adrian Barath and wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh to injury before a ball was bowled in the World Cup, with Kirk Edwards and Devon Thomas called in as replacements.
Fast bowler Tino Best, who has played 14 Tests and 12 one-day internationals, is the third reserve on the West Indies World Cup list.
But the 29-year-old is under a disciplinary cloud having been banned for Barbados’s recent match against the England Lions following a training session bust-up with coaching staff.
Former champions West Indies tackle the Netherlands in New Delhi in their next Group B game on Monday.
