SUPER OVER

NZ 3-0 (0.2 ov) vs SL 13-1 (1 over)

New Zealand need 14 runs to win the tied match in the Super Over with just two wickets in hand.

Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill will open the innings for NZ, while Lasith Malinga will bowl the Super for the hosts.

1 Guptill on strike and he slices the first ball from Malinga over point for two runs.

2 The next ball is a low full toss and Guptill gets an inside edge for a single.

3 Brendon McCullum is on strike and he gives Malinga the charge but is beaten and even wicketkeeper Sangakkara is beaten to give away two byes. 9 from 3.

4 Malinga bowls another good delivery, full and swinging away from the batsman. McCullum gets an outside edge but again Sangakkara drops it and also gives away a run. 8 from 2.

5 Guptill then lofts Malinga down the ground. It goes high but does not go all the way and it is caught by Dilshan on the long-off boundary. 8 from 1. SL are done with this it looks like.

6 The result is just a formality now unless Malinga bowls a wide or no-ball. The last ball is full on the pads and McCullum gets an inside edge as it goes behind the wicket to give SL victory.
