Sri Lanka supporters are in exuberant mood as they seek to secure their place in the quarter-finals with victory over Zimbabwe in Kandy
Tillakaratne Dilshan provides the usual fast start for Sri Lanka, taking 18 from four balls in the second over
Upul Tharanga is also in prime form and the duo share their sixth century opening partnership
The century stand comes up in the 17th over and, continuing the pattern, the 200 is reached in the 34th
Fans unable to get into the picturesque ground make their own arrangements
After the highest opening World Cup partnership ends on 282 wickets tumble, all of them to catches in the deep, with Angelo Mathews holing out first ball
Brendan Taylor gives Zimbabwe a superb start in their quest to make 328 for victory, reaching a half century in the 14th over
But having shared 116 inside 20 overs with Taylor, Regis Chakabva is bamboozled by Muttiah Muralitharan's doosra and is bowled for 35
Sri Lanka drop four catches but Mahela Jayawardene holds an outstanding one as Dilshan shines with the ball as well to take four wickets for only the third time
Dilshan is on a hat-trick but misses out as Jayawardene drops a low chance
Dilshan finishes with remarkable career-best figures of 4-4 and unsurprisingly wins Man-of-the-Match
Local hero Murali finishes the match in style by bowling Chris Mpofu to claim 3-34 as Zimbabwe are all out for 188 and Sri Lanka go through to the quarter-finals with a 139-run victory
