In what was another terribly low scoring game at Florida, Sri Lanka chased a paltry target of 82 losing three wickets in 15.3 overs. New Zealand after opting to bat first were packed up for 81 in 17.3 overs with pacers Nuwan Kulasekara and Lasith Malinga taking three wickets each. In their chase, Sri Lanka were guided to a well earned win because of a responsible 33 not out in 49 balls from opening batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan. Kulasekara was named as the Man of the Match while Daniel Vettori got the Player of the Series award.
