New Zealand won the toss and will bat | |||
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the match 39 in the 2007 Cricket World Cup where New Zealand can cement their place in the semi-finals with a victory over another side hot on their heels, Sri Lanka in this, the 15th game of the Super Eights from the National Cricket Stadium in St George's, Grenada. | |||
This game would have been an absolutely belter and probably still will be. But the injury sustained to Sri Lanka's menacing fast bowler Lasith Malinga will surely give New Zealand a distinct advantage. They still have potential match-winners throughout the side but Malinga is a different proposition and the Kiwis will be glad to see him sat in the stands rather than out on the pitch. | |||
New Zealand would move up to 10 points and clear at the top of the Super Eights table, therefore ensuring they will be in the last four but Sri Lanka could go top with a win also. We are getting down to the meat of the tournament now after six weeks of cricket. | |||
Team news, apart from Malinga's ankle, is that Ross Taylor has overcome his hamstring injury and is likely to replace Hamish Marshall in the Kiwis starting line-ups in an otherwise unchanged side. Sri Lanka could call up Farveez Maharoof for the 'slinger'. | |||
Who will win today? What a question that is today! But that injury will make Sri Lanka weaker and therefore, it's another win for the underrated New Zealanders. | |||
The National Stadium in Grenada has been used on nine previous ODI occasions but not since the West Indies played Bangladesh in 2004 and won by 7 wickets prior to South Africa's easy win over the hosts two days ago. | |||
Wavell Hinds in the leading run-scorer on this ground with 263 runs in 4 matches (average 131.50) while Chris Gayle is the head wicket-taker with 10 from 6 matches (average 21.80). | |||
It will be the 67th time these two sides have played in one-day internationals and New Zealand lead the head-to-head 34-28 with one tie and 3 no-results. A 2-2 draw was the result in the recent series staged in New Zealand - the final game being washed out. | |||
There have been five previous contests in the World Cup between these sides and New Zealand lead 3-2. The Kiwis were victorious in 1979 and 1983 before Sri Lanka returned the compliment later in that England tournament. New Zealand won their home game in 1992 but Sri Lanka were successful in 2003 at Bloemfontein. | |||
The highest individual score for New Zealand v Sri Lanka is 141 by Scott Styris at Bloemfontein in 2002/2003. | |||
The highest individual score for Sri Lanka v New Zealand is 140 by Sanath Jayasuriya at Bloemfontein in 1994/1995. | |||
The best bowling performance for New Zealand v Sri Lanka is 5-25 by Richard Hadlee at Bristol is 1983. | |||
The best bowling performance for Sri Lanka v New Zealand is 5-9 by Muttiah Muralitharan at Sharjah in 2001/2002. | |||
Asad Rauf and Billy Doctrove are the men in the middle for this game. Aleem Dar is the third umpire and Mark Benson the fourth. Mike Procter is the match referee. | |||
