Sri Lanka vs New Zealand | 1st Semi-Final | WC'11 | Colombo | 29/03/11

[Afridi_Fan]

Toss 5 minutes away. Lets hope we have a good game and not one sided affair today.

 

[Turbokam512]

Sure it wont be one sided.. NZ's Taylor is hoping for a final berth but he has to really work hard if thats to be made reality..

SL on the other hand look well suited to advance..

lets find out

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I suspect if Kiwis win the toss and bat 1st here today. They might sneak through to their 1st ever final.

 

[z2_daredevil]

srilanka will win it easily....

 

[thecricket]

nz won the toss , batting 1st.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Big toss won by the Kiwis here.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Murali fir to play. SL same side that defeated England in QF.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Andy McKay comes in for Luke Woodcock for the Kiwis.

 

[z2_daredevil]

kiwis will only challenge srilanka if they score 250+.....

 

[Badsha]

Don't think they'll make more than 220.

 

[AZ]

good toss to win, let's hope Kiwis can put up around 250+

their bowling under lights can be lethal.

[Gabbar Singh]

[Badsha]

Sri lankans have an awesome anthem...

 

[Lara400]

Nothing beats Paks anthem

 

[Lara400]

hehehe

except the third person is Tony Greig rather than a lass, no wonder why he is so excited

 

[ShaazE]

Kiwis should win simply due to having the awesomest sounding national anthem.

 

[Badsha]

God damnit this anthem is long.

 

[Spiderguy252]

They have the best jersey too.

I hope they can pull off an upset here. Would be awesome to see them in the finals, against all odds.

True that. But the jerseys aren't as good as their previous all black ones.

[adnan yasin]

just one over for malinga....

same tactics again by sangakara

[Faisalabadimunda]

T:4t

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

bad fieldng.

 

[malakian]

Murali is clearly nowhere near fit. He's only playing due to sentimental reasons, hopefully for SL his selection won't come back to bite them.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

sl need at wicket.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

well bowled rangana

 

[Deewana Mastana]

[Deewana Mastana]

Drinks for the NZ pair

 

[saajidrox]

not loosing a wicket is key in first 10 overs for new zealand
have to take atleast one wicket in the first 10 overs for sri lanka

kiwis off to a good start...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

29/0 after 6 overs

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

[adnan yasin]

This happen most of the time when you dont bowl your best bowler with new ball

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good close one

 

[Looney]

I is supporting Sri Lanka

 

[Noman]

Sri Lanka struggling with the bowling.. New Zealand have been playing alot of spin in the past 6 months.. In Bangladesh and India so NZ wont struggle like England..
