Sri Lanka sends England packing in Twenty20


Sri Lanka sent defending champions England packing at the World Twenty20 as they reached the semi-finals along with the West Indies after a dramatic night of action in Pallekele.

Sent in to bat, Sri Lanka posted a challenging 169/6. In reply, England could only manage 150/9.

Pakistan will join already qualified Australia in the semi's with a win.
