India registered a record-breaking 302-run victory against Sri Lanka at Wankhede and became the first team in this World Cup to qualify for the semi-finals. Lowest total in Cricket World Cup by a Test-playing nation.2nd largest defeat by a margin of runs in World Cup history. Joy and History for India. They just can't handle the Indian pace attack. Mohammed Shami was awarded the player of the match for his fiery five-wicket haul 5/18 against Sri Lanka.
I think Sri Lanka's poor performance as well as poor decision-making played a major role in India's win. After winning the toss, Sri Lanka should have batted themselves. Giving batting to a strong batting attack like India turned out to be a very wrong decision. The mistake that New Zealand made yesterday was also made by Sri Lanka and seeing a target like a mountain in front of them, their batsmen were under pressure from the beginning.
Rather, at one point, four players were out for three runs, the number of wickets falling from runs was more. However, it turned out to be a very one-sided match, and so far in the matches played in this World Cup, there have been very few matches in which the fans got to see a thrilling contest. Which is being sorely missed.
