Captain at his best.

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field first
No Jayasuriya or Vaas today since they are rested for the game.

Last update (out dated score, please check the edits below.) - Unofficial Score 2.38PM EST
Current Score is
Sri Lanka 137/2 (25.0 ov) - cricinfo
WU Tharanga (lhb) 87
KC Sangakkara (lhb) 5
New Zealand 285/8 (50.0 ov)



edit 10.42AM EST: Yahoo reports that Maharoof or may be .... Nuwan Kulasekara has taken Flemings wicket. Check the picture above. There is no update on the latest score though.

edit 11.11AM EST: Scott Styris is also out caught by Sangakkara... Again no update on the score card. New Zealand could be 2 down or more at this stage. Cricinfo is crappy today!

edit 11.39AM EST: My boss is here... and I've got to work ... lol.. no more updates from coolwind. If someone else could keepup with the updates, feel free... be my guest... here is the latest picture blog from yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/photos/ss/even...4sportscricket
Later ya all! good luck Sri Lanka!

edit 2.37PM EST: I'm back and it seems that Sri Lanka is 121/2 according to some you. Crapinfo reports that Sri Lanka is off to a flyer and they are still having lunch for 2 hours. Hope there would not be a middle order collapse as usual... starting from Mahela.


edit 2.57PM EST: Crappy cricinfo finally updated the score. Sri Lanka is 137/2 after 25 overs. Mahela's bad form continues... Tharanga is on 87 and it is said that he was off to a flyer. good for him... Sangakkara and Tharanga are on the crease. Sangakkara is batting at 5 and Tharanga at 87. It seems like we need to pick up the run rate just a bit. Having to play 13 players, the target should not be that hard for us. I'm gonna get back to work. I'll see you guys at the end of the game.
Sri Lanka require another 149 runs with 8 wickets
Victory for Sri Lanka. Cheers!
