Cricket: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - Twenty20 Internationals (In USA)


Recommended Posts

As the title suggests, NZ are playing Sri Lanka in 2 twenty20 matches which are being played in Florida. Both matches are shown on ESPN in the UK and are on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. Not going to stick the thread because it's over in just over 24hrs but for the cricketaholics amongst us there could be some cash to be made :ok.

Re: Cricket: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - Twenty20 Internationals (In USA) Cricketaholic - that'll be me then :lol. Just the one for me in the 1st game. Complete unknown really. Nothing at all to go on and obviously no history involved here at all. 3pts New Zealand to win 1st Twenty20 5/4 William Hill Neither of these sides particularly impressed in the world twenty20 but I think this could be a big price given that New Zealand beat Sri Lanka on the opening night of that tournament. Sri Lanka will be without Muttiah Muralitharan while New Zealand will be without Jesse Ryder and Shane Bond. Both sides have enough quality to perform but I think at the prices I'll just favour NZ who seem to be masters of winning close matches and with this wicket never being used before we could get a low scoring, tight match. Taylor, McCullum, Styris and Oram are solid hitters in a New Zealand batting lineup which I think is bigger hitting than Sri Lanka's although the class of Jayawardene and Sangakkara counter that. Sri Lanka's attack can be brilliant or rubbish whereas New Zealand, led by their ever tight skipper, are generally pretty solid. I don't think there's a huge amount between these two sides so at 5/4 I'll take the Kiwi's in the series opener.
