World Twenty20 2012: Sri Lanka edge New Zealand in Super Over thriller in Pallekele A wild swipe, saw the ball trickle out to cover off the inside edge where James Franklin had time to take aim at the bowlers end, as Ross Taylor, New Zealand's captain, positioned himself behind the stumps there. Franklin's throw missed the stumps and Taylor failed to gather the ball cleanly, but somehow a bail had come off before Thirimanne had made his ground with a despairing dive. Taylor felt he must have knocked it off with his fingers and shook hands with the batsman, conceding Sri Lanka had win the game. But umpire Simon Taufel had called for TV replay and after the third umpire had replayed it over several angles, and after England and the West Indies had rushed on to the field to start their warm-ups (they were playing the next match), the players returned to play out the Super Over. It was a popular win with the noisy local crowd, who screamed their approval at the outcome of the Super Over. For New Zealand, who should perhaps have scored 15-20 runs more in the main game, it will be another disappointment. They'd twice looked in control during the match, with bat and ball, only to squander their position. One day they will play a seamless match, but until then, they will have to get used to disappointments like this.
