ICC WT20 | New Zealand v Sri Lanka | Group 1 | 31/03/14 | Chittagong

[Batman]

Big game this! The winner will join India and South Africa in the Semi-Finals.

Toss will be in few minutes time!

 

[Batman]

Toss will be key here!

Win the toss, bat first, post a big score and then defend it later on!

 

[Batman]

Sri Lanka without their regular captain Dinesh Chandimal. He has been suspended for maintaining a slow over-rate.

Chandimal to miss out a key game here!

 

[Batman]

Malinga to lead here for Sri Lanka in the absense of Chandimal.

 

[Batman]

New Zealand have won the toss and elect to bowl.

 

[WebGuru]

Haha Malinga the captain for today match forgot the names of players

 

[doggy2020]

Malinga can not remember the name of his team mates ...haha...funny

 

[DW44]

Lol. Malinga forgot who was playing in his team.. Best captain ever.

 

[Ahson8]

NZ won the toss and bowl.

 

[Batman]

Haha first time as captain so has to practise it well the names.

 

[whatthewhat]

Malinga was hilarious.

Can anyone tell me why Ryan Ten Des didnt play for the Dutch? If he wouldve played they couldve been in the semis

 

[Batman]

Don't sure if it right decision to bowl first.

Sri Lanka will have to post big here.

 

[London_Lahori]

Big toss to win.

 

[whatthewhat]

Can anyone tell me why Ryan Ten Des didnt play for the Dutch?

The Dutch wanted him to be avaliable for all matches and not just the world cup which he wasn't prepared to do so because English county cricket pays his wages.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Took the time for their anthem. 2 minutes and 37 seconds

 

[ValleyRanch]

Sri lankan national anthem is indeed very long...:XD

 

[Sam18696]

Cmon NZ

 

[Batman]

Mills bowling first over!

 

[Batman]

Parera off the mark!

 

[Dragon]

Hope SL gets destroyed

 

[Batman]

80m-boundaries on either side.

That's good thing to know.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Leg side line and flicked for .

 

[Sunny786]

Why is the Bangladeshi crowd cheering for Sri Lanka so much?

 

[Batman]

:4 by Perera.

0/6.

 

[Dragon]

Ohhh

 

[Batman]

First 4 off the inning down the leg side!

 

[Jo_Don]

Why is the Bangladeshi crowd cheering for Sri Lanka so much?

They can empathise with being cast aside?

/runs

 

[Batman]

:6 by Perera!

0/12.

 

[Batman]

SL | 0/12 in 1.

 

[Batman]

Perera straight away going go take the bowlers here.

Perera is dangerous.

 

[Batman]

:4 again by Perera!

[WebGuru]

Boult want to kill out of form Dilshan

 

[anakwalajinn]

[Batman]

Jaya in at #3.

 

[Batman]

SL | 1/20 in 2.

 

[Dragon]

Dil scoop

 

[Buffet]

Poor decision from Aleem Dar. Batsman was playing so well and it's always a problem when umpire's mistake send them back prematurely.

 

[Batman]

Big wicket for NZ and get him early as well!

 

[captainbligh]

Oh c'mon! Second time he's given out, when the ball was nowhere near the bat.

 

[Batman]

:4 by Dlishan this time!

1/24.

 

[Batman]

Mills bowling his second over!

 

[Sam18696]

Cmon get Jaya and Dil

 

[Dragon]

Need to keep them under 150

 

[Batman]

SL | 1/27 in 3.

 

[Batman]

Good decent start from SL here.

 

[Batman]

Boult to continue.

 

[Dragon]

Great

 

[Poison]

The only way Dilshan is getting runs now is the scoop. Retire mate.

 

[Sam18696]

yesss 2nd gone

 

[Batman]

Dilshan gone!

2/29.

 

[leatherface58]

) Terrible stuff from Dilshan.

 

[Batman]

Sanga in.

 

[Commander]

Im rooting for NZ. Much easier match against them compared to Sri Lanka if we go through to the semis. Cmon NZ!

SL 29/2 in 3.4 overs

 

[Ahson8]

Boult is awesome.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Superb bowling from boult. Pace and swing .

 

[Dragon]

Dil catch de bethe - Rameez Raja

 

[ValleyRanch]

I dislike sri lanka...So for that reason..GO KIWIS GO

 

[Batman]

NZ cameback strongly here.

 

[Batman]

SL | 2/30 in 5.

 

[Zeshan547]

What was that? I think it can be called reverse dil scoop.

 

[Batman]

:4 by Sanga!

2/35.

 

[Mohsin]

If there's no dew, NZ are SCREWED

Tbh I still don't back them against SL's variation coupled with the pressure of chasing

 

[Sherazkhalid]

If SL loses today, they would rue England, one man innings took them out of contention.

 

[Nuekboi]

Boult on fayaaaa

 

[Batman]

Good comeback by Bould after hitting that 4 by Sanga.

 

[Batman]

Sang gone too!

3/35.

 

[Kianig89]

3 down one of the SL' choker gone

 

[leatherface58]

Boult in beast mode.

 

[Zeshan547]

Sri Lanka losing it big time, that can be the last inning of sangakara in t20 internationals.
