Co-hosts Sri Lanka are one win away from entering the quarter finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. Kumar Sangakkara’s men have two matches, against Zimbabwe and New Zealand, remaining in the group stages of the tournament to qualify.
Currently with five points from four matches, Sri Lanka will look to seal the deal on Thursday, when they take on Zimbabwe at the Pallekele Stadium.
In the event Zimbabwe spring an upset, the 1996 World Cup winners will be left with their group match against New Zealand in Mumbai to qualify.
The loss against Pakistan and the rain abandoned match against Australia have pushed the pre-tournament favourites into a tight spot, requiring them to win one of their last two remaining matches or face a shocking early exit.
