That's all we have from this match. Do join us tomorrow for the last double-header of World T20, 2014. Until then, it's good bye and cheers!!!

Rangana Herath is the unanimous choice for the Man of the Match award. He says that the plan was to bowl in the right place. Adds that, they were lucky that there was no dew.

Outstanding performance by Sri Lanka to defend a paltry total! They have now qualified for their fourth World T20 semi-final and will be flying high on confidence. Rangana Herath was the star of the show as he wreaked havoc and completely rattled the Kiwi batting line-up. He was too hot to handle and had the batsmen in all kind of trouble. Finishes with an exceptional bowling figures of 3.3-2-3-5, which is the third best in T20Is. Their semi-final opponent will be decided tomorrow after the match between Pakistan and West Indies.
