New Zealand v Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka won by 7 wickets (with 7 balls remaining)

T20I no. 30 | 2007/08 season
Played at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg (neutral venue)
15 September 2007 (20-over match)


New Zealand innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
L Vincent	c Silva b Fernando	14	21	16	1	0	87.50
5.1 Low full toss - waist-high - on the off and middle, Vincent goes for a slash down the ground, ends up scooping it between mid-off and mid-on and both nearly collide but Chamara Silva takes the catch 25/2
BB McCullum†	c Malinga b Fernando	10	16	12	0	0	83.33
3.6 Short and rising, McCullum pulls it straight to long leg. McCullum was dropped twice and Sri Lank have been third time lucky 22/1
PG Fulton	c Malinga b Wijekoon	25	27	19	1	2	131.57
10.5 full and outside off stump, sliced straight to sweeper cover. 95/3
LRPL Taylor	c †Sangakkara b Malinga	62	59	43	3	3	144.18
18.5 very full, very straight, Taylor opens the face of the bat and tries to run the ball down to third-man. All he manages is a simple catch straight into Sangakkara's hands. End of a cracking innings from Taylor 153/6
SB Styris	lbw b Jayasuriya	2	3	3	0	0	66.66
11.3 trapped in front. Full and on the middle and off stump, Styris shapes to play a reverse sweep, misses and that proves fatal. Hawk eye suggests it would have missed the off stump. 97/4
CD McMillan	run out (Silva/Malinga)	2	6	5	0	0	40.00
12.5 from Malinga, fuller and on the stumps, the ball is punched to cover, the batsman head off for a single, McMillan isn't too quick, the throw comes to the bowler, Malinga catches the ball and breaks the stumps. The decision is referred to the third umpire ... and gone! 102/5
JDP Oram	not out	33	30	19	2	2	173.68

DL Vettori*	run out (Fernando/Wijekoon)	3	4	3	0	0	100.00
19.6 Wijekoon to Oram, very full, straight, driven hard down to long-on, the batsmen run hard, coming back for the second but the throw is good and an easy run out ends the innings 164/7
