Sanath Jayasuriya and Upal Tharangaâ€™s stunning assault made a mockery of the huge English total, reaching the target with 75 balls and 8 wkts to spare. This is easily the quickest victory by a side in terms of balls faced in pursuit of 300 or more runs. The previous best was of 16 balls by England against Pakistan in October 2000.

Sri Lankaâ€™s in 37.3 overs at 8.64 runs per over is also the second highest scoring rate by any side chasing a target of 300 runs or more. The best still remains of 8.79 in the epic encounter of South Africa and Australia. For readerâ€™s interest the accompanying tables have the complete details.
