Herath ‘spins’ Sri Lanka to the Semis

Sidelights – ICC World T20 | Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand

119 can not be called a fighting total by any means, but Sri Lanka with the help of Rangana Herath, who, surprisingly, was playing his first game in the tournament, made 119 runs look 190 and won the game easily by 59 runs and made their all 6 Semi Finals in the ICC World T20. New Zealand fielded well but their batsmen did not compliment their bowlers and fielders and folded out for a paltry score of 60 runs.
