Defending a closed par total of 217 after their batting efforts had tattered before the spin actions of hosts in which Scott Styris ground out a responsible 57 from 76 balls on a worn wicket at the Premadasa Stadium, New Zealand were back into the contest with a vengeance when it seemed the match was finally won by hosts. At 160 for 1 in the 33rd over, Dilshan and Sangakkara had promising shared in the stand of 120, with a little shaky of Sri Lankan team, when Jayawardene caught LBW on 1 while facing the delivery of Daniel Vettori, next Sangakkara was trapped who was tried to play a pull shot over third man, three quick wickets made alive Kiwis for the contest but Samaraweera and Mathews propelled their side to World Cup final route.
