Sri Lanka v New Zealand | 2nd T20 | Colombo | 4/9/09

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis looking for another win over Sri lanka.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I hope Oram gets another hattrick..................and remembers it this time . Dilshan is the real danger for the kiwis as he almost took the match away last time with that 50 of his . I hope Shane Bond comes back with bang this time and justifies his selection .

[Sufian84]

impossible task for sri lankan middle order. nz have the game in their hand.

 

[IAJ]

Why didn't Sangakkara walk as all the Kiwi players thought he had edged it to the keeper?

 

[ace_allrounder]

Dilshan out on the fifth ball of the first over.

Wow.How nostalgic.Just like the final of T20 2009 WC.

 

[Sufian84]

80-5

 

[12thMan]

I guess players want to go back before Sangakkara gets out or he will be yelling from the pavillion.
Required RR over 10 now

 

[12thMan]

Lot of respect for the Tiger Nathan McCullum. Only 9 runs off his 2 overs and has taken 2 wickets. Thoes swinging off breaks doing the trick
Sri Lanka require another 69 runs with 5 wickets and 35 balls remaining

 

[ace_allrounder]

Ouch!..They lost again!

Well done New Zealand.
Although I really hate the team.
