Lanka lose Dilshan after fighting knock

NEW DELHI: West Indies got Tillakaratne Dilshan run out after his fighting knock of 39 and steady 42-run stand for the fourth wicket in the first semifinal in Mirpur.

Scorecard

A direct throw from Lendl Simmons ended Dilshan's challenge, reducing Lanka to 91/4 in the 14th over.

Dilshan's 39 runs came in as many balls and included two boundaries and a six.

West Indies had put Sri Lanka in trouble with three quick wickets after a brisk start by them.

After a 41-run opening stand, Krishmar Santokie gave Sri Lanka first blow by bowling out Perera after his 12-ball-26 on the final delivery of the fourth over.

In the next over, Jayawardene got run out without even facing a delivery.

Samuel Badree added on to Lankan worries by taking a simple return catch of Kumar Sangakkara (1), reducing them to 49/3.

Earlier, Sri Lankan skipper Lasith Malinga won the toss and elected to bat.

While Sri Lanka have replaced Thisara Perera with Seekkuge Prasanna, West Indies remain unchanged.

Spinners are likely to dominate in increasingly hot conditions in what is a repeat of the 2012 final, which was won by West Indies.

Sri Lanka: Kusal Perera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Angelo Mathews, Lahiru Thirimanne, S Prasanna, Nuwan Kulasekara, SMSM Senanayake, Rangana Herath, Lasith Malinga(c)

West Indies: Dwayne Smith, Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin, Darren Sammy(c), AD Russell, Sunil Narine, Samuel Badree, K Santokie
