driven to the off-side boundary and that's a comprehensive victory for Sri Lanka
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, 11th Match at Mumbai, Oct 20 2006 - Ball by Ball Commentary
So, Sri Lanka have kept their Champions Trophy dream alive by wrapping up proceedings here in what was a very one-sided match in the end, despite Daniel Vettori's cameo. Thanks for joining us and do tune in tomorrow when England will be looking to restore some pride after their drubbing by India, while Australia will hope to put their loss at the hands of West Indies behind them.

well waited for that one which is chopped down behind point
tickled to square
