Duckworth Lewis gives win to Sri Lanka in Wellington Twenty20
A rain reduced Twenty20 international cricket win for Sri Lanka against the Black Caps at Wellington Stadium.
The tourists reached 62 for one, in pursuit of the Black Caps 162 for five, before rain settled in on the Caketin.
Under Duckworth Lewis rules it was an 18-run win for Sri Lanka, highlighted by a man of the match performance from Sanath Jayasuria, scoring 51 from just 23 balls.
Earlier it had looked like a big New Zealand innings, when Brendon McCullum's 39 and Stephen Fleming's 38 guided the Black Caps to an 80-run opening stand after seven overs.[/QUOTE
