COLOMBO - Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara credited his bowlers for keeping up the pressure on England right from the first ball in the World Cup quarterfinal on Saturday.
The Sri Lankans restricted Andrew Strauss' men to 229-6 before cruising to the target in the 40th over for an emphatic 10-wicket victory in the day-night clash at the R. Premadasa stadium.
Tillakaratne Dilshan (108) and Upul Tharanga (102) struck unbeaten centuries to cap a miserable outing for England and book a semi-final at the same venue against New Zealand on Tuesday.
