245 proved more than enough on a surface that had plenty of assistance for spinners. Greaves remains not out on 56 and gave them a sniff but he got no support from his teammates. Props to Greaves for first bowling his heart out and snapping up four wickets and then fighting it tooth and nail with the bat, what a fighter! Only McBride got to a substantial score (29), and no other significant contribution came from any other batter. A sorry looking scorecard for Scotland. Theekshana took three wickets while Hasaranga continued to cash in on his great form, took two prized scalps while Shanaka and Rajitha took one wicket apiece to register a clinical victory. Sri Lanka will be pleased to carry four points into Super Six stage and a strong net run rate of 3.047.

It has been a pleasure bringing you all the live-action and sharing in the excitement. Until next time, this is Rvel Zahid signing off on behalf of one and only Peter Della Penna and our scoring expert K Vairavan. Goodbye and keep enjoying the great game of cricket!

Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka captain: "The boys are excited for the next round. These two points are very crucial. The wicket was not easy to bat on compared to the other wickets. Credit to Nissanka and Asalanka. Playing positively and getting out is not a problem for us. Theekshana and Hasaranga always do the job for us."

Richie Berrington, Scotland captain: "We were looking to utilise the early movement...was a fantastic effort in the last fifteen overs to bowl them out under 250. We tried to be really smart with our fielding. The wicket was a little slower today. Greaves has come into the attack slightly earlier as well. But it has always depended on the situation. We were up with the rate all the way through...disappointing that we fell so many runs short. Not our day with the bat. We will look to come back strong in the next game."

Maheesh Theekshana, Player of the Match: "We wanted to bowl stump-to-stump, and with our variations, we knew we could get them out. For the first two-three balls I kept it wider, but then I kept it wicket to wicket. I think my strength is bowling with the new ball. We knew we had 10 overs to bat when I walked out, so I wanted to play till the end and get those extra 20-30 runs."
