  • Under Fire Sri Lanka Take on New Zealand Today Have One Win Each, but Both Tourists Have Won with the Bonus Points Contrary to Sri Lanka’S Win Without the Bonus Point
    Late City Edition Thursday 19th August, 2010 Randiv banned and fined, Dilshan loses match fee Under fire Sri Lanka take on New Zealand today have one win each, but both tourists have won with the bonus points contrary to Sri Lanka’s win without the bonus point. New Zealand are mindful that Sri Lanka have been dis- tracted in the last few days due to the no ball controversy. Their captain Ross Taylor also reminded that after Sri Lanka played two games in a row they will be a bit tired. “The Sri Lankans played two games in a row which has been tough and shows that the team that has played a couple of games in a row usually doesn’t win. I guess they will be a bit tired after the tough series against India. I guess that is an area where we will exploit,” Taylor said. With Randiv banned, Sri Lanka could opt for left-arm spinner Rangana Herath. Ajantha Mendis too could get a game as the New Zealanders have seen very little of him.
