Kulasekara to Oram, FOUR, Oram swings hard at a low full toss, slicing the ball high over the bowler's head towards the boundary. Thisara Perera ran from long on and dived but couldn't reach the ball

More than a wicket , that was a dot ball

 

[Justcrazy]

SL have done well , 175 will be chaseable provided they bat well

 

[asif9138]

willamson to face mainga

 

[Justcrazy]

Williamson at number 8

 

[asif9138]

good yorker

 

[Justcrazy]

NZ should have gone in with another bowler instead of a pure batsman at number 8

 

[mosh101]

180 looks tough from here with just one over to go ! Machas will chase this down

 

[Justcrazy]

165 / 6 after 19 overs

[asif9138]

175 to win..and this score was chased by pakistan agianst BD

 

[asif9138]

bowling test

 

[mosh101]

Sri lanka have never won chasing at home in t20 internationals

 

[Slickman]

first 6 overs will decide the game pretty much!

 

[Mobashir]

Just confirmed what I think, hitting in the last overs of a T20 is not a way to go, the set batsmen, the top order have to bat with strike rates not think that people are going do it in the last overs!

 

[asif9138]

444444

 

[asif9138]

6666

 

[asif9138]

dilshan on fire

 

[Strike!]

[sada90]

Srlianka hammering Newzleand

 

[asif9138]

Sl will score 75 in PP

 

[asif9138]

tough chance

 

[iRfaN_LA]

piece of cake for SL, this is a flat deck.

 

[asif9138]

not a chance really

 

[asif9138]

southee was appealing

 

[asif9138]

66666

 

[asif9138]

61 in 4.5

 

[asif9138]

62 in 5 overs

 

[asif9138]

[asif9138]

[asif9138]

single taken

 

[asif9138]

easy going for SL

 

[asif9138]

kiwi needs few quick wickets

 

[asif9138]

i think i am the only one here in this thread..good bye

 

[mosh101]

Machas will murder kiwis

 

[Tridibans_16]

SriLanka looking good here. They are in complete control.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

what a boring one-sided match !!

 

[mosh101]

Lucky breakthrough but game is lankas

 

[Space Cat]

This is how we should of batted instead of starting so slow with a deep batting lineup.

 

[Tridibans_16]

Good point by Nasser. Sri lanka like Ausseies are too dependent on the top order. This is why I think Pakistan (if they bat like the last two games) from group 2 and WI from Group 1 are good contenders for the title.

 

[Strike!]

Medium pacers are the way to go it seems.

 

[Space Cat]

If we can somehow get Dilshan we might have a slight chance.
