00:00The Australians are looking to bounce back. The Lankans raring to go after falling to Pakistan.
00:10Petsman takes his stance now, will get plowed away in the do or die game.
00:15Here at Newlands, Brett Lee.
00:24Flicked in the air, just behind square, Nathan Bracken, so Sri Lanka straight away off the mark.
00:29Big shout again by the Aussies, close, gone!
00:38Again, Brett Lee coming into play, should swallow, but he does.
00:41He had to move in about 20 yards.
00:45But it was a leading edge because of the swing that Bracken is producing.
00:49Often too early. There's still a little bit of time in 20 overs.
01:00The good batting is coming from those players who are actually playing half decent shots.
01:06Calculated risk.
01:09It should be out, it is! It just got to Stuart Clarke at mid on.
01:17Now that's gone to third man. Brett Lee's under it. He should take it and he takes it.
01:21Another Maxman falls. Caught by Brett Lee at third man.
01:26We just need to bat sensibly the next few overs, make sure we don't lose too many wickets.
01:30Lost another one.
01:32We need to just bat through the initial overs and see if we don't take our chances in the last few.
01:37Okay, another wicket goes down. Schlanker there, five down. Back to the commentary box.
01:44Good thump.
01:47Crunching drive.
01:49Oh, but Sangakara just a little shimmy down the pitch to get some momentum.
01:56Gone!
01:58That's another wicket going down.
02:02Michael Clarke takes a catch.
02:07Brilliant.
02:09Brilliant indeed.
02:11Well, Michael Clarke thinks he's got his man. The finger goes up.
02:14Maru was making his way back into his crease.
02:19Another high ball.
02:20And Andrew Simons.
02:22You can bank on him to take that. Swallow it in fact.
02:25Sri Lanka all at sea.
02:27And it's been from the moment they stepped out there with their bats.
02:30Now eight wickets have gone down.
02:31They've only made 83 runs.
02:34He's a handy asset.
02:35That one. Just the single. Sri Lanka struggling for the big shots.
02:40The big swing. And now Andrew Simons diving forward as he got his fingers under it.
02:47We'll just see whether he wants to claim it or not. He doesn't.
02:50Quite rightly.
02:52Often in those situations you close your eyes when you dive forward.
02:55That's a good shot.
02:56Is it going to drift over the rope? Just.
02:57So there's a handy six to Sri Lanka. Taking them to 98.
03:08It's being smacked by Vast. But it's straight to Brett Lee who takes an outstanding catch.
03:13It's all going Australia's way.
03:14Malinga really has to hit out. He doesn't get hold of that. You've got the Aussie fieldsman. Three deep on that onside.
03:28Fernando now. He hasn't got hold of that. Bracken caught and bowled. Ten wickets gone. Sri Lanka. A disappointing 101.
03:40This is a quarter final don't forget. Whoever loses going home. Australia have done the job in the field.
03:46Just a one slip in place. A ring on the offside. First ball.
03:58Fierce and power. It's a front foot low ball. I think it will be a free hit.
04:03Just passed. Malinga at mid off. It's not been a pitch where you could say it's been easy to drive the ball.
04:22Over the top.
04:27It plugs in the outfield but it will still run to the boundary line.
04:34I'm telling you what Sri Lanka would have seen enough of them this year certainly.
04:39And it has gone through for buys.
04:46Good pull shot.
04:49Starting to find footing.
04:52They spent time at the crease.
04:55Well.
04:58Another swat through mid wicket.
05:01Maharuf under pressure straight away. No wickets yet.
05:04For Sri Lanka only defending 101.
05:11And that's what we mean. It's decent but it encourages good stroke play.
05:15Five of us gone. 44 without loss.
05:20Just a bit too wide.
05:21And it's smashed away.
05:24That's the 50 up for Australia.
05:28Over the top she goes.
05:30What a clean hit that is.
05:32Superb strike.
05:36That's a dreadful delivery.
05:39Probably felt intimidated by the big six.
05:41So that's four wides.
05:42Oh, that is so nicely struck.
05:46That's an expensive over from Maharuf.
05:4819 coming from it after seven.
05:50Australia 73 with that loss.
05:52My word, how has he played that?
05:53That's a remarkable shot.
05:54Going toward the top will be done this time.
05:55Suffered.
05:56Oh dear.
05:57Oh dear.
05:58Oh dear.
06:00Muscular blow from Hayden.
06:01Six runs required.
06:02Will they finish it off with a six?
06:03Oh dear.
06:04Will they finish it off with a six?
06:07He's going for it.
06:08He's going for it.
06:09He's going for it.
06:10He's going for it.
06:11That is it.
06:12That is it.
06:13That's gone miles back into the stand.
06:15Matthew Hayden has finished off with a six.
06:17He's going for it.
06:18He's going for it.
06:19That is it.
06:20That's gone miles back into the stand.
