Sri Lanka crushed international minnows Canada with embarrassing ease at Paarl on Wednesday, completing a nine-wicket win inside two hours without the majority of their players even breaking into a sweat.
Skipper Sanath Jayasuriya had promised beforehand that his players would retain their focus against the amateurs, who had pulled off a shock victory against Bangladesh, but he could scarcely have expected such a clinical performance.
New-ball bowlers Prabath Nissanka and Chaminda Vaas shared seven wickets as Canada were bowled out for a miserable 36, the lowest-ever score in a one-day International, surpassing the 38 scored by Zimbabwe against Sri Lanka at the Sinhalese Sports Club in 2001.
Marvan Atapattu, renowned more for steady accumulation than adventure, then launched into the Canadian bowling, scorching 24 runs off 14 balls and ensuring the victory target was reached in just 4.4 overs.
