Sri Lanka vs Ireland Highlights – Super 8s
SL Bat
Ireland Bat
Watch cricket highlights – Sri Lanka vs Ireland from the Super 8s of the 2009 T20 Cricket World Cup.
Scoreline: SL 144/9 Mahela Jayawardene 78 (53) – Trent Johnston 4-1-18-1, Alex Cusack 3-18-4
Ireland 135/7: Niall O’Brien 31 (37), Mooney 31 (21)
Fore-play: Team down at 14/2 and like he has done for years, Mahela Jayawardene bails Sri Lanka out. All those classy shots on offer here. What made the SL innings a lone-man effort (with some support from Sanath) was the uncertainty of Chamara-Mubarak lurking below him.
Ireland did most things perfectly today even with Mahela’s innings, but in the end it came down to Murali, Malinga and Mendis. Sri Lanka have been banking too much on them and as mentioned earlier on this site, against a more experienced side that plays spin well, SL could well come unstuck.
Pre-play: With all the beauty associated with a giant-killing game, you’d have to believe that Murali-Mendis and Malinga will be too much for the (relatively) inexperienced Irish, whatever they can summon with the ball. But on an individual player note, it would be good to see Kevin O’Brien come good.

@ James,
Congrats to Ireland for a good display of Cricket… They are the Surprise bunch of the tournament…
Agree with Rinas, & would like to add the fourth M (Mahela) for scoring today. It was not easy with Ireland, but end of the day happy to see the chaps win!!!

Would like to add a comment,you’ve gotta admit that Srilanka is a winner an never gives up that easily and should say Ireland had proved their level best but there were two appeals from Murali which that S.African umpire didnt seem to act fair…Anyway best of luck for Srilankans…
WELLDONE SRILANKANS.
