Australia v Sri Lanka Dice Cricket World Cup Group A

The match was the chance for Australia to get their Dice Cricket World Cup campaign back on track. For Sri Lanka, it was all about not losing by a big margin at least. Sri Lanka Openers are in great form and so are their Bowlers. Dennis Lillee is having a great tournament so far for Australia. 

It was a glorious win for Sri Lanka as they proved that they belong here. Sanath Jayasuriya once again unlucky to miss out on a Century despite having an ample time. He was dismissed by none other than Dennis Lillee - a man in form. Kumar Sangakkara made sure that Sri Lanka reach a good Total. 

Australia did lose early Wickets but recovered due to Bradman & Hayden partnership. Sir Don Bradman Half Century was not enough as Chaminda Vaas & Lasith Malinga combined to restrict Australia. 

It means Sri Lanka becomes the first team to qualify for the Dice Cricket World Cup Semi Finals. Australia is almost out of the competition. New Zealand is now favorite to secure qualification for the second Semi Final spot. They will face the out of form West Indies team.

Sri Lanka with a chance to get close to Semi Final qualification while the mighty West Indies with a chance to make a comeback. The quality Bowling of West Indies needs to find form in the T10 format. The Sri Lankan Top Order can be very dangerous.

Sri Lanka with a massive win as Jayasuriya misses out on a Century on the final ball. Jayasuriya and Dilshan combined for an explosive opening partnership of 179 Runs. Ambrose dismissed Jayasuriya on the final ball to deny him a Century. All West Indies Bowlers were punished.

Dilhara Fernando again with 4 Wickets as he has now taken 8 Wickets in the tournament so far. All the Lankan Bowlers performed except Malinga. West Indies Captain Sir Viv Richards was the only one who threatened to take down the seemingly impossible Target. However, no one helped him in the cause. Sri Lanka are now almost guaranteed a place in the Semi Finals due to +91 Win Margin. West Indies are almost knocked out of the tournament.

Sri Lanka will now face Australia which is a must win game for Australia. West Indies will face New Zealand where they need to win by 10 Wickets or about 50 Runs to qualify for the Semi Finals & hope for Sri Lanka win over Australia.

Australia v New Zealand Dice Cricket World Cup Group A

The game was a chance for Australia to get closer to the Semi Final qualification while a chance for New Zealand to restore their hopes in Dice Cricket World Cup. The Trans-Tasman rivalry was at its intense. Ponting & Steve Smith with the Bat and Dennis Lillee and Glenn McGrath with the ball were in-form for Australia.

New Zealand upset their bigger Trans-Tasman rivals by 29 runs courtesy some tight Bowling by Trent Boult and Tim Southee. The Run Rate kept creeping as no one managed to support Dave Warner. His dismissal by Kiwi-Australian Leg Spin legend Clarrie Grimmett turned the Match in New Zealand's favour. Sir Bradman once again failed to deliver. Sir Richard Hadlee took his valuable wicket. Shane Bond took the prize Wicket of captain Ricky Ponting. 

Earlier, New Zealand legend Martin Donnelly and captain Stephen Fleming took the Total to 131 despite losing regular Wickets. Legendary Pacer Dennis Lillee and All Rounder Keith Miller were the pick of the Bowlers for Australia.

This means New Zealand goes from 4th to 3rd position. Australia has dropped to 2nd from Top.
