Though each team had only 7 overs to play for, nevertheless, SA team showed that determination and grit alone will ensure a safe passage to maul Sri Lanka.
Each batsmen lead their own way and the profile that was scripted to each of them were implemented in use successfully The added advantage of having Kirsten at the Head of Coach is doing wonders to this team.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, looked perplexed. They had no clue as to what was happening and they were never prepared for the 7 overs game. That Malinga had to bowl 2 overs, was itself a very defennsive captaincy since he was already belted in the first over. Malinga generally looses confidence and remains so in the remaining overs.
The batting order looked out of sorts. I expected Jeevan Mendis to open with Dilshan and expected Perara to follow suit in his uncustomary 1 drop roll.
Nothing went SL way right from the toss and there is nothing to loose as both this team qualify to the next stage
