Muthiah Muralitharan was getting the ball to turn a mile while Kumar Dharmasena was almost unplayable. Muralitharan accounted for the wickets of Vincent, Jacob Oram (6) and Daniel Vettori (3). Oram found himself short in making the crease to a throw from Muralitharan at the long-on fence. But it was Dharmasena who made all the difference as he effectively tied down Harris and the adventurous Adam Parore. Dharmasena tasted his only success when he bowled Mills (2) and finished with the figures of 10-1-29-1. New Zealand could only make 204/9 in 49 overs and Sri Lanka were the winners by 16 runs. Jayasuriya was named the Man of the Match.
