England make World T20 semis, knock out Sri Lanka

New Delhi : England qualified for the World Twenty20 semi-finals and knocked the holders Sri Lanka out on Saturday after a nailbiting 10-run victory in their do-or-die showdown in New Delhi.

Jos Buttler smashed 66 in a 37-ball knock as England posted a commanding total of 171 for four that ultimately proved too much for Sri Lanka despite a brave, undefeated innings of 73 by injured skipper Angelo Mathews.
