Injury Forces Murlitharan Out of T20 World Cup

In a severe blow to Sri Lanka’s T20 World cup prospect, Muttiah Muralitharan suffered a groin strain and would not be able to participate in the remaining of T20 World Cup 2010.

Team physiotherapist Tommy Simsek said Muralitharan has sustained a grade one strain on his right adductor muscle and will need up to three weeks’ rest.

On Monday, in a do or die situation Sri Lanka will take on Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka after losing the first match has to win this match if they wish to move to super eights.

Venue: Providence Stadium, Guyana

In match 7 of ICC T20 World Cup 2010, Sri Lanka will take on Zimbabwe who have announced the presence in West Indies with two wins against Australia and Pakistan in warm up matches. Sri Lanka would be under tremendous pressure as they had lost the first match against New Zealand and one more loss means they have to pack the bags and return home.

Zimbabwe who have become a surprised package would be all prepared to end Sri Lanka Caribbean holidays today. This match is expected to be a real thriller. Sri Lanka is depending on star batsman, M Jayawardene and all rounder Angela Mathews and would be hoping that they both fire today to save them from early exit.

Match 1 New Zealand Edge Past Sri Lanka By 2 Wickets

Match: 1st T20
Venue: Providence | Date: April 30, 2010
Toss: Sri Lanka elected to bat
Result: New Zealand won by 2 wickets
Man of the match: N McCullum

In an thriller opener off ICC T20 World Cup, New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by 2 wickets. Earlier Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first. Jayawardene and Dilshan started the innings for Sri Lanka. Jayawardene played a superb innings of 81 and helped Sri Lanka score 138/6 in 20 overs. All other Sri Lankan batsmen failed on the slow pitch but Jayawardene showed his class and played steadily to score his career-best Twenty20 score.

Chasing 139 to win, New Zealand got to the worst start possible with Angelo Mathews bowling a maiden wicket over. J Ryder and M Guptill then tried to stablise the innings and took the score past 50. Just when it looked the black caps are getting back on track, Muttiah Muralitharan got the wicket of Ryder. Soon Guptill also got out and Sri Lanka were back in the match. The match was balanced as any one could win but in the 17th over, Mendis got the wicket of Styris and it came as a blessing in disguise as Jacob Oram scored 15 runs off that over. The match was like a roller coaster as it swung from one side to another. New Zealand needed 20 off last 2 overs, Walegedera bowled Oram and then Gareth Hopkins was run out. The excitement was rising as New Zealand needed10 off last over. Nathan scored a brilliant boundary and a six to win a nail biting match.
