And they've done it! Sri Lanka win by 7 wickets, with eight balls to spare! Hugely entertaining game, and a masterclass of a run-chase from the underdogs. Every man pulled his weight at the crease, and aside from the daft run-outs there was never a hint of panic.
More importantly, this leaves every team in the group on two points, and means the remaining games will effectively be straight knockout fixtures. At least one of the two favourites will be going home when South Africa face India, and at least one underdog will go through when Sri Lanka play Pakistan. A real group of death.
