  • 5 years ago
Sri Lanka have qualified for their third ICC World Twenty20 final after heavy rain and hail ensured their semi-final clash with the West Indies was decided on the Duckworth/Lewis method in their favour.

Brought to you in association with Clarus XC (http://www.harkness-screens.com/clarusxct20), the latest Cricket World (http://www.cricketword.com) video news update from the tournament reviews the two semi-finals played today - both in the men's and women's tournaments.

There were no Darren Sammy sixes today as he was left stranded at the non-striker's end when play was called off with the West Indies on 80 for four in the 14th over replying to Sri Lanka's 160 for six - leaving them short by 27 runs on the Duckworth/Lewis method.

Lahiru Thirimanne had earlier top scored with 44 and two quick wickets from Lasith Malinga helped put Sri Lanka, who will now face India or South Africa in Sunday's final, into a winning position.

Meanwhile, Australia Women beat the West Indies Women by eight runs to reach their third final in a row.
