Sri Lanka started off with a very good reply, with their openers [[Upul Tharanga]] and [[Tillakaratne Dilshan]] accelerating steadily after a slow start to add 76 in just over 14 overs until Hafeez had Tharanga caught at point. This was the turning point of the match, as three more wickets, including that of Dilshan fell soon after to leave Sri Lanka tottering at 96/4. [[Kumar Sangakkara]] rode his luck with Kamran missing two stumpings off him, and staged a recovery with [[Chamara Silva]], but his luck eventually ran out as the required run rate went up, with Afridi having him caught at long on one short of his fifty. Silva struggled to time the ball early in his innings, being 16 off 49 balls at one point, but he then accelerated rapidly to reach his half-century, but Afridi returned to remove dangerous looking [[Angelo Mathews]]. Silva eventually fell for 57 when Kamran did get a stumping right, and despite [[Nuwan Kulasekara]]'s cameo, Sri Lanka ended up 11 short. | Sri Lanka started off with a very good reply, with their openers [[Upul Tharanga]] and [[Tillakaratne Dilshan]] accelerating steadily after a slow start to add 76 in just over 14 overs until Hafeez had Tharanga caught at point.
