ODI no. 3305 | 2012/13 season
Played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium
4 November 2012 - day/night (50-over match)


New Zealand innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
RJ Nicol	c †Sangakkara b Perera	46	107	74	3	0	62.16
26.3 thin edge! Perera lands it on roughly the same area of the previous two deliveries, Nicol decided to go for the drive and gets a faint edge to the keeper 100/2
TWM Latham	b Malinga	2	32	18	0	0	11.11
6.3 the break in play has broken Latham's concentration, lands on a good length on the off stump, hint of inward movement in the air, straightens after pitching and Latham left a big gap between bat and pad, ball shaves the off stump 17/1
BJ Watling†	c Jayawardene b Herath	55	101	86	6	0	63.95
33.3 Jayawardene takes a sharp catch! Tossed up on middle and off and Watling was down on his knee to slog, mistimed it and instead it went flat and Jayawardene was alert at short midwicket, timed his dive well and took it 130/3
LRPL Taylor*	c Mathews b Kulasekara	72	89	62	7	2	116.12
45.2 sharp catch at cover! Kulasekara fired that full outside off and Taylor tried to smoke that past cover, went flat to Mathews who timed his dive well, Mathews showed no emotion after taking it but SL will be relieved they've seen the back of Taylor 221/4
JEC Franklin	not out	35	87	40	0	1	87.50

NL McCullum	c Perera b Mathews	16	16	16	2	0	100.00
48.4 that was in the air for a long time but Perera kept his eyes on it! Slower ball and McCullum went for the big hit and lofted it over the on side, it swirled and Perera hung on and fell backwards 242/5
AM Ellis	b Malinga	4	4	4	0	0	100.00
49.6 yorker to finish things off! Too good for Ellis, he was standing outside leg, Malinga took aim at the leg stump and the batsman couldn't get his bat down on time 250/6
Extras	(b 1, lb 8, w 11)	20

Total	(6 wickets; 50 overs; 220 mins)	250	(5.00 runs per over)

WU Tharanga	c †Watling b Mills	6	19	11	1	0	54.54

TM Dilshan	c Williamson b McCullum	37	81	51	5	0	72.54
18.2 Dilshan falls immediately to the spinner! Tossed up on the leg stump, Dilshan moves forward and tries to flick him on the up but ends up tamely chipping it to Williamson at midwicket 98/3
KC Sangakkara†	c Nicol b Boult	11	13	13	2	0	84.61
7.3 the break brings a wicket! Excellent catch by Nicol! It was wide outside the off stump and Sangakkara tried to slice it wide of backward point, it was an uppish slice and Nicol kept his eyes on the ball dived full length to his right and caught it 39/2
