Jayawardene all praise for death over specialist http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540 – Cricket News Update
Sri Lankan skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 in a World T20 Super Eights
Group 1 fixture, at Pallekele, on Thursday, September 27, 2012.
After opting to bat first, the Black Caps amassed 174 for seven from their stipulated twenty overs, on the back of opening batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-James-Boyd-Moss-c86323 Nicol’s scintillating half century. In reply, the hosts, riding on Tillakaratne Dilshan’s 53-ball 76, drew level on 174
for six, at the end of their allotted quota of overs. Batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hettige-Don-Rumesh-Lahiru-Thirimanne-c63124 failed to score the single needed to win the match, off the final ball of the Sri Lankan innings, leaving it up to the Super Over to decide the outcome of the game.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TG-Southee-c2659 bowled the Super Over for New Zealand as Sri Lanka scored 13 for one, setting a target of 14 runs for the tourists to win. But the visitors could only manage seven runs in reply, as Lasith Malinga’s characteristic bowling did not let the New
Zealand batsmen break free.
“I don't think so,” replied Jayawardene promptly when asked, if he could think of any death bowler who matched Slinga Malinga? “He has got the experience, he has done it in various situations. He said what he was going to do from the beginning and how he
wanted the field. It is easy for a captain when you have a bowler with that sort of confidence.”
"Another day he might go for runs but you always back your ace bowler. It is good to have somebody who has control mentally over that situation. After that you try to execute your skills. It is important that you are tough in that situation and Mali is one
of those guys," the Sri Lankan skipper went on to add.
Sri Lanka will next play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808, the same day.
In another Group 1 Super Eight fixture on Thursday, West Indies defeated defending champions http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 by 15 runs.
