Result: India won by 183 runs
Man of the Match: J Srinath.
India's presence in the World Cup semi-finals was confirmed on Monday after a compelling performance against Sri Lanka at The Wanderers.
During the first innings India's openers, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, laid the foundations of an imposing 292 total with a blazing 153 run stand for the first wicket.
India's fast bowlers, led by Man of the Match Javagal Srinath, then produced inspired spells in the afternoon as Sri Lanka were bowled out for a pathetic 109 in 23 overs that included five ducks.
India's second Super Six win leaves them level with Australia on 16 points, guaranteeing them a place in the semi-finals no matter the result in their final match against New Zealand.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, currently on 7.5 points, after two crushing defeats in the space of four days, must win against Zimbabwe to have a chance of qualifying.
