Sri Lanka cruise past Kiwis

SRI LANKA coasted to a six-wicket victory over New Zealand to move level on points with their opponents at the top of the World Cup Super Eight table.

The Kiwis, who began their fourth second-stage match with one of only two 100% records, failed to post a par total despite Scott Styris’ fourth ODI hundred.

His personal haul was a 152-ball century, brought up with his seventh boundary after Stephen Fleming had chosen to bat first on a good surface.
