Jayasuriya, who claimed 3/30 bowling his part-time left-arm spin,
was the most successful bowler for Sri Lanka in a match that his
side won by 74 runs to book their place in the first semi-final
against Australia. "It was not easy to bat on early on, but
Marvan (Atapattu) was the key. That is why we got 256 and that is
why we won," the Sri Lankan skipper summed up at the awards
ceremony. He also went on to add that his side had a good chance
of making it to the final too. "History suggests that the ball
will turn (at Port Elizabeth) and anything can happen on the
day," he observed.
