An easy win for the Aussies as they continue with their dominance in cricket. Ricky Ponting smashed his 24th ton in ODIs and guided Australia to a convincing 7 wicket win over arch-rivals New Zealand. Earlier the Kiwis had posted a respectable 254/7 in their 50 overs. Brendan McCullum was the top scorer from the Black Caps as he got 96. Ross Taylor got to his 50 from only 52 balls. The Kiwis lost wickets at crucial intervals towards the close and that ensured they were around 25-30 runs short.
However, even that would not have been able to stop the Australian juggernaut as Hayden and Gilchrist smashed the bowling to pulp in the first 5 overs. Gilly got 51 from only 29 balls and was clearly the master blaster of the day. Ponting and Michael Clarke then had a match-winning 135 run partnership. By the time Clarke got out, Australia were well and truly on their way to an easy win.

Sri Lanka continued on its merry way by posting a comfortable 7 wicket win over New Zealand. Daniel Vettori won the toss and decided to bat first. The Kiwis lost their opening duo for only 25 runs and had it not been for Peter Fulton, Ross Taylor and Jacob Oram, this would have been an embarrassing defeat. Taylor, in particular, was the foundation for the score that New Zealand finally reached. Oram provided the final thrust for the Kiwis and the total of 164 runs was very much a defendable one.
Sri Lanka relied on their only superstar to come through. Sanath Jayasuriya continues to bat belying his age and his aggressive batting has remained the same as it used to be. To see this champion in full form is a treat for any spectator. His 61 runs from 44 balls earned him the man of the match award as he blasted 3 sixes and 6 fours. It was really the start that mattered and the two openers put on 82 runs before Tharanga was caught by Martin off Vettori.
