Yin yang

One game was a study in big hits, one was not.  To start Australia took on Sri Lanka and beat them in an exciting match.  Australia's Finch (153) and Smith (73) led their side to a 334 total for Sri Lanka to chase.  And at first sti lacks looked like they might have a shot at it.  Karunaratne (97) and Perera (52) made a good shot at it but then the wickets started to fall and just kept falling.  Starc took 4 and Richardson 3. In the end Sri Lanka ended 87 runs shy.

The next match saw Afghanistan go all out to put up a meager 125 runs for South Africa to chase. South Africa chased that down with 9 wickets to spare.  Amla, de Kock, and Phehluwakahadeityiongrxvv got the only runs while Naib the only wicket.

Tomorrow if the rain stays away it will be India and Pakistan.

Other than Michael falling to the bottom no new news on our front.
