New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka, 2012/13 / Scorecard

New Zealand in Sri Lanka ODI Series - 3rd ODI

Sri Lanka v New Zealand

Sri Lanka won by 7 wickets (with 11 balls remaining) (D/L method)

ODI no. 3306 | 2012/13 season
Played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium
6 November 2012 - day/night (50-over match)


New Zealand innings (33 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
RJ Nicol	c Jayawardene b Malinga	7	12	16	0	0	43.75
2.5 that's gone low into Jayawardene's hands at second slip, so Nicol got beaten at least ten times on Sunday and made 46, today he edges one early and is gone, fullish length on off, brings him forward, enough away movement to take the edge off the push and fly low to Mahela, they check for the no-ball and the catch, clean on both counts 9/1
BJ Watling†	not out	96	145	88	12	0	109.09

BB McCullum	lbw b Mathews	13	33	25	0	0	52.00
10.3 Mathews gets one next ball, McCullum got too far across looking to work a length ball square to leg, was hit on the edge of the pad, in front of leg stump, and on first glance, looks like the angle could have taken it down leg 31/2
LRPL Taylor*	run out (Mendis)	7	17	16	1	0	43.75
14.4 from Mendis, brilliant stuff from Jeevan, he's raced towards short midwicket, where Taylor had nudged the tossed up delivery, and hit the non-striker's stumps direct, Taylor has not even bothered to wait for the third umpire, he knew he was short 43/3
JDP Oram	lbw b Mendis	2	8	4	0	0	50.00
16.3 that looked dead straight, Oram tried a reverse sweep to a length delivery, it was the googly, Oram missed and was caught right in front, umpire Dharmasena sends him back, replays show the ball pitched just outside leg stump 49/4
JEC Franklin	b Kulasekara	26	34	25	2	1	104.00
24.6 one shot too many for Franklin, charges out, misses the length delivery, which crashes into top of leg 105/5
KS Williamson	c Mathews b Mendis	5	9	6	0	0	83.33
26.6 KW is gone, skipped out to go down the ground, only went as far as mid on, ball hit the inner part of the bat 117/6
NL McCullum	not out	22	32	18	0	2	122.22

Extras	(b 1, lb 2, w 7)	10

Sri Lanka innings (target: 197 runs from 33 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
WU Tharanga	c Oram b Southee	10	20	13	2	0	76.92
4.5 and he's gone now, what an over, Southee hurrying him again with another short ball, he tries to back away and hook at the same time, the effort lands in fine leg's hands 30/1
TM Dilshan	not out	102	148	95	12	1	107.36

KC Sangakkara†	c Taylor b Mills	15	37	27	0	0	55.55
12.6 and like in the previous game, Sanga is gone against the run of play to a sharp catch, he walked out to a short ball and absolutely smacked the pull, Taylor was in the way at midwicket and reacted sharply to take it to his left, they check for the no-ball, it is a tight call, Mills' front foot slid a long way but they reckon he landed some part behind the crease first 65/2
DPMD Jayawardene*	c Oram b NL McCullum	5	10	6	0	0	83.33
14.5 oh dear, Mahela has reverse-swept straight to short third man, big Jacob Oram is standing there, and he leaps to comfortably take it 73/3
