Cameron White’s blast ruins Sri Lanka’s World T20 campaign

Australian leg-spinning all-rounder Cameron White has spoiled Sri Lanka’s party at the World Twenty20 championship, scoring 89 of 49 balls.

As a result Sri Lanka lost a crucial Super Eight match by a massive 81 runs.

Australia has taken a step closer to clinching their first World Twenty20 title.

In reply to Australia’s total of 169, Sri Lanka scored 87 in 16.2 overs.

Despite winning two of their three Super Eight matches - after beating India here on Saturday - Australia must still beat West Indies in St Lucia to assure themselves a place in the semi-finals. India would have to beat Sri Lanka and also keep an eye on the net run rate in the hope of making it to the semi-finals.
