Sri Lanka who defeated mighty India in the group league played disastrous cricket against Pakistan. Pakistan is probably the worst team of Champions Trophy and due to disastrous cricket from other teams they have gone to the finals. Mathews, Dickwella knew very well that the ball was going to reverse swing in Cardiff after 32 to 34 overs. They purposely played lose shots at that time to get out. The team which looked to score around 290 runs crumbled down to a score of 236 runs.The same team went on dropping catches of Sarfaras to ensure Pakistan goes to the next round.
