South Africa vs Sri Lanka Champions Trophy Highlights

Links Removed – Apologies for the inconvenience

Watch highlights from the 1st match of the Champions Trophy 2009 – South Africa vs Sri Lanka played on September 22, 2009 at Centurion.

Scoreline (Toss – SA): SL 319/8 Dilshan 106 (92), Jayawardene 77 (61), Sangakkara 54
SA 206/7 Graeme Smith 58 (44) – Mendis 3 wickets (Rain interrupts and SL win on D/L)

Dilshan goes bananas, Parnell has the worst game of his international career, Mahela plays the perfectly paced knock, Smith tries to knock the SL bowlers off their preferred line and length (something few have surprisingly attempted), SA get their first sighter of Mendis and appear blinded, and so on. With a performance like this in their opening game, keeping history in mind, does this mean that SA’s chances have actually improved?

  21. bangladash will win this championship!!!

  22. srilanka will win this match

  23. hope wi put on a show,given the second class team they have now

  24. i’m living in U.S.A, here people don’t like cricket but I love cricket. Anyway, i think Pakistan will win this trophy because they are doing better than before game and most importing thing is right now everybody doing good job, and they have strong bowler.
    On the other hand, India has little chance to get this trophy because whole team depend on Sachin. So if Sachin fails to make score whole team go under water. Also India has not good bowler who will win a game.

  25. srilanka

  26. Sri Lanka will win today. If Sri Lanka comes to final against India Sri Lanka will definitely win ’cause Sri Lankan fast bowlers will thrive on SA pitches

  27. Sri Lanka will win the match .. SA cant chase 300+ on these wickets

  28. eldoodereeno

    england will clean up this tournament…their 1-6 thrashing by australia was just a cunning plan to lure the other teams into a false sense of security!! Watch and larn compadres

  29. Salman Khan

    Australia or Srilanka will win this trophy.

  30. All about Sri Lanka, India can’t do anything in this season, they will be kicked off at the 1st round, sorry for India.

  31. ACCORDING TO ME SRI LANKA AND PAKISTAN WILL BE THE FINALIST.

  32. sri lanka best one day players

  33. pakistan has a wonderful bowling attack.. if their batting click they can be on top… i wont give india too many chances, with viru out.. but who knows… an exciting run chase on, dont rule out SA too early…

  34. pak or india can not win because is on fast wicket – and they are handycape on fast wicket – their history is proof of that

  35. South Africa will get the trophy>>>

  64. pakistan gonna win final match…………..

  65. statistically South Africa should win. but they are unlucky they wont. Pakistan is a team if they have there day they can beat any team. Srilanka will win if the bowlers do thier job. India cant win with out Sehwag. Australia i sthe team to watch. If bret lee and Mitchel J deliver in bowling dept, S.watson delivers in All round dept and Pointing plays his batting role they are unbeatable.

  66. This subcontinent country vs subcontinent country vs subcontinent country thing is going out of hand – plenty of comments deleted – am just going to close comments here. In fact, I think I’m going to shut down comments here for this tournament considering there’s an India vs Pakistan match coming up. Had enough of all this jingoistic nonsense.
