Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, 1st T20I at Colombo, Sep 02 2009 - Match Result

New Zealand have won, wonderful comeback by them, the last ball was full and wide again, Malinga drives it to long-off for a single, three-run victory for New Zealand

full and wide, Malinga gets under it and clobbers it towards sweeper cover, Nathan McCullum races across to his right to try complete a spectacular catch but can't hang on to it

a leg bye, full outside off stump, tried to sweep, is struck on the pads, and the ball rolls towards point

a yorker on offstump, Malinga gets it away to mid-off for a single

Oram's on a hat-trick now, Kulaskeara holes out to long-on, another low full toss, Kulasekara's shot finds Broom, who has an easier catch than McCullum last ball

a great jumping catch from McCullum at long-off silences the crowd, a low full toss from Oram, Bandara lofts it straight at long-on, that's another dot ball, McCullum amde plenty of ground to his right before taking that one

high full toss, another heave from Bandara sends the ball towards mid-off, a single to retain the strike, wonderful over from Bond

another dot ball, only three of the over do far, slower ball from Bond, great stuff, Bandara swings at it and misses

a dot ball, precious for New Zealand, Bandara swipes that towards short midwicket

high full toss, punched back towards the bowler, who gets a hand to it but can't stop the batsmen from taking a single

Bond goes for the yorker, it's a touch shorter than he wanted, the batsman squeezes it to mid-off

length ball outside off, driven crisply to long-off, hit too firmly to get a double

pegs away at a back of a length, on middle stump, Kulasekara turns it towards midwicket, and gets a tight single, direct hit would have made things interesting

Bandara hammers that one to mid-off, Vettori fields and a direct hit would have ended Bandara's stay

it was New Zealand's fielding that kept them in the game when Dilshan was going berserk, now it's the fielding that's letting them down, another misfield, this time at long-on, giving away an extra run

back of a length, angling into Bandara, who chops it towards backward point, where Ryder (who has been exceptional in the field so far) misfields

slow, short ball outside off, Bandra wanted to dab that to third man but doesn't connect

the batsman slaps that over the infield towards sweeper cover, land just a few yards short of the fielder

Oram gets rid of Mathews, who chips an innocuous delivery back to the bowler, huge wicket that, Mathews, Sri Lanka's last remaining recognised batsman, has just perished to a full toss

slightly overpitced, well outside off, Kulasekara gets forward and drives through cover
