Pro20 World Cup winners 2007 – India, is out of the Pro20 World Cup competition after losing to England by three runs. England scored a reasonable target of 153 / 7 in their 20 overs. India lost crucial wickets during their run chase and needed 19 runs of the last over bowled by man of the match Ryan Sidebottom, managing only 15, only three runs short. Ryan Sidebottom took 3 wickets for 31 runs and Greame Swann 2 for 28 . India needed to win the match against England to qualify for the semi finals.
Earlier in the day Sri Lanka got a scare by Ireland but manage to win their super 8 group game by 9 runs. Sri Lanka scraped together 145 runs thanks to a 78 run contribution by man of the match Mahela Jayawardene. Sri Lanka qualified for the semi finals. Pakistan play Ireland today and England play West Indies and the winners between England and West Indies will most probably advance with South Africa to the Pro20 cricket semi finals.
