Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, 13th Match, Group 1 at Kandy, , Sep 27 2012 - Match Result

a yorker comes off the pad and runs down towards long leg, Malinga holds his nerve and pulls it off for Sri Lanka

tries to find the stands over long off, it was well struck down to the boundary and it was superbly taken by Dilshan right on the edge of the rope, great catch, so nearly a big hit from Guptill. Still 8 required, Taylor the new batsman with McCullum on strike...

Sangakkara drops a thick egde from McCullum, again it was wide and tried to be swung away. 8 to win...

full and wide of McCullum's swing outside off, Sangakkara lets it through his hands and they scramble a couple of bonus runs. NZ need 9 to win...

full ball again, chopped to midwicket Guptill trying to swing it over the on side

Guptill swings at a wide delivery and gets a wild outside edge over backward point, the cover sweeper comes around to field

full again, Perera goes for the paddle sweep, meets it on the full and gets it just over short long leg, they take three out to the boundary. Finish on 13 for 1...

another excellent full ball onto leg stump, comes off the pad of Dilshan into the covers and they take a quick single

full again, dug out into midwicket, coming back for the second, run out very easily, a good return by the deep fielder.

full outside off again, a swing and a miss by Perera, they take an extra to the keeper too

full ball dug out down the ground by Perera, great running and they get back for the second

full outside off but this is too wide of the left-handed Perera and called wide

full again outside leg, step to give himself room, dug out into the covers by Jayawardene

full ball dug out by Jayawardene, plenty of bat on this, long leg slides and saves four very well

slap into the off side off an inside edge, easy run out at point surely to the non-striker's end but I think Taylor dropped the ball, he did! Taylor dropped it and Sri Lanka have won!! But no!! On the replay the ball has deflected off Taylor's hand and deflected into the stumps!!! Amazing stuff so New Zealand have effected the run out and this is going to be a Super Over...so much checking to see what actually caused the bails to come off but it looks as if it was ball...here comes the third umpire...it's OUT!!!

full and wide, goes for the ramp and this time pulls it off! What a shot, picked it up from well outside off and it sails over short long leg

full and wide enough of the attempted drive, beats the bat, dot ball!

full ball on leg stump, dug out through midwicket for...just a single as the fielder scrambles well off the rope

full outside off, goes for the ramp and gets it off the toe of the bat in the air towards short long leg, doesn't get it at all and it falls short of the fielder

full and cracked out to cover, well fielded

slower ball on off stump and Perera swings and loses his off stump. Franklin atoning slightly, bowling a great slower ball on a good length, Perera took a huge swipe at it and lost his off stump

full and wide, swung away off an outside edge, third man is up and that will run away for four, poor ball, giving the batsman the chance to free his arms

full outside off, dug out down the ground again, Franklin nearly fielded it but couldn't hold it, another single to long on

outside off, slugged down the ground to long on from a length

cut out to the deep fielder at cover, Southee returns well, and Dilshan is diving in coming back for the second and is short of his ground he was desperate to come back and keep the strike but a great piece of work on the cover boundary again gives New Zealand hope

full toss just outside off and smashed over midwicket into the crowd

a terrific over from Southee, Dilshan plays the final blockhole delivery towards long on

once again Southee finds the blockhole and gives Mathews no room, the batsman hits towards long on

nearly in the blockhole around off and middle, driven from the crease through cover point

Dilshan makes room by moving outside leg, Southee cramps him with a yorker, Dilshan squeezes it out towards midwicket and they take on Guptill's arm to complete the second

full ball angling across the right-hander, Mathews drives towards extra cover

full ball, which Dilshan tries to smash over long-on but mis-times it. The ball reaches the fielder on the bounce

a wild swing to a straight ball, inside edge past short long leg and Oram dives and saves brilliantly on the deep backward square rope, could be a vital save that

well bowled, right up in the block hole, pushed out to extra cover
