Stephen Fleming was moved back up to his favorite ODI batting position at No 2, but at the same time also had the misfortune of going up against the one bowler whom he least liked facing throughout his career - Chaminda Vaas. Still, he defied the odds to score an entertaining 84 off 89 balls while sharing in a massive 166-run opening partnership with Brendon McCullum. It was a good enough start to allow Ross Taylor to bat with freedom at the death, which he did with a quickfire 53 off 47 balls.

Sri Lanka still needed a further 40 runs for victory when Shane Bond claimed the wicket of skipper Arjuna Ranatunga. Their last wicket pair fought of Dilhara Fernando and Muttiah Muralitharan on valiantly to bring their team within 6 runs of victory, when Jacob Oram ended the tension by dismissing the former to bring up a thrilling 5-run victory for New Zealand. Kane Williamson also did his bit by holding on to three very important catches.
