Pakistan

England

England won by 6 wickets.

Man of the match: John Emburey

Bell is still in beast mode. England win again, even without Robin Smith taking a bag of wickets (only in ICC SL would you read a sentence such as that).

2nd Qualifying Final

Australia v Sri Lanka - Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney

Australia

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka won by 2 wickets.

Man of the match: Duleep Mendis

It's the Sri Lankan steamroller once again! What a winning streak it has been for them. A drug test may be necessary before the tournament ends.
