NEW ZEALAND v SRI LANKA Wisden CricInfo staff - January 1, 1998
At�Hyderabad, May 20 (day/night).�Sri Lanka won by 52 runs. Toss: Sri Lanka. International debuts:�C. D. McMillan,�S. B. O'Connor. Debutant seamer Shayne O'Connor quickly removed Jayasuriya and�Aravinda de Silva. Those blows, plus the persistence of off-spinner�Patel, who shared the new ball, and the slow medium-pacers,�Larsen and Astle, choked Sri Lanka's usual free-scoring style. While Mahanama tried to anchor the innings, it was left to Kaluwitharana, demoted to No. 7 after a run of poor scores, to ensure that it went past 200. Once again, New Zealand started well � they were 96 for two at the halfway mark � but then, after Fleming swept and missed at De Silva, they subsided against Sri Lanka's slow bowlers, who each picked up two wickets. Man of the Match:�R. S. Kaluwitharana. © Wisden CricInfo Ltd |
