ICC World Cup 2015: South Africa crush Sri Lanka by nine wickets to reach semifinals

Duminy (3/29) dismissed Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews (19) with the final ball of the 33rd over and returned to send back Nuwan Kulasekara (1) and ODI debutant Tharindu Kaushal (0) with the first two deliveries of the 35th.

The ninth World Cup hat-trick left the 1996 champions reeling at 116/8 after the loss four wickets for just two runs in three overs and when Kumar Sangakkara was dismissed soon afterwards, the writing was on the wall.

Sangakkara, who had been looking for a fifth successive century, scored a measured 45 from 95 balls but was forced to throw off the shackles as the wickets tumbled around him and holed out to deep third man off paceman Morne Morkel.

A heavy shower appeared out of the blue as if to mourn what looks like being the final one-day innings of one of the game's great batsmen and the players came off the pitch for a 23-minute rain break.

It only delayed the inevitable, however, and Lasith Malinga (3) was the last man to depart, hammering the ball to David Miller at cover off South Africa's other main spin threat Imran Tahir.

Tahir took 4/26, including the wicket of Mahela Jayawardene to leave another retiring Sri Lanka batting great with a tally of four runs in his final innings in the 50-over format.

Sri Lanka, who won the toss and chose to bat, were never able to score at a pace that would have put pressure on the South Africans and test their mental resolve.

While Sangakkara was at the crease, though, they would have fancied their chances of putting on some kind of tally for their bowlers to defend.

Once he departed and the rain cleared, however, the semifinal appointment in Auckland against New Zealand or West Indies next week would now seem to be South Africa's to keep.

India, first batting made 302 runs against Bagaladesh, thus setting victory target at 303.

While chasing this target Bangaladesh looses 2 wickets and is now on 54 for two in 13 overs.
 
Congratulations.

India wins against Bangaladesh by 109 runs.

Hats off to the team effort.

This is the seventh consecutive success of the Indian team in this WC championship.

Australia enters semi final by beating Pakistan by 6 wickets in quarter final and would clash against India for berth in finals.

The last match for berth in semi final place would be decided after the match between New Zealand and West Indies .
 
New Zealand [393 for 6] beat West Indies by 143 runs. [West Indies all out for 250].

Earlier, Martin Guptill on Saturday bludgeoned his way to the record books with the highest individual World Cup knock as New Zealand rode on the opener's swashbuckling unbeaten 237 to crush West Indies by 143 runs and sail into the semifinals of the mega event in Wellington.

South Africa won million hearts. Real Champion. Great team but no luck. Yesterday they were close to hit more than 350. Rain messed up whole dream
 
Australia gathers 328 runs against Indian eleven, thus fixing 329 as target which seems very difficult looking at the present pace of run making by the Indians.
 
Dhoni Brigade all out by leaving 95 run margin to Australia in the second semi final played today.

It was a comprehensive alround good performance that ensured berth for Australian Team in final.
 
The Cricket World Cup 2015 goes to Australia who beat New Zealand team in a comprehensive manner to achieve this rare honour.

With this news the curtain falls on this high voltage publicised game/drama which continued to be one of the major news in print media as well as electronic media for over a month all over the globe.
 
didn't enjoy the grand final match. :sorrow: If there was South Africa against Australia in Final it could be interesting. These two were the best team in Tournament.

The alround best performance of Australia in the final made them World Cricket Champions in the recent version of competition. India also displayed good cricket but in the final they could not resist the pressure of the rival team and gave in.
