ICC World Cup 2015: South Africa crush Sri Lanka by nine wickets to reach semifinals
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/international-home
History is best when created, better when re-constructed and worst when invented.
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.

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.

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.didn't enjoy the grand final match.
