Sri Lanka's dream of ending a home World Cup campaign in style came crashing down in Colombo on another evening where the batting failed to show up. New Zealand scored 168, which proved to be enough on a slow and turning track at the Premadasa – and now qualification for the Lankans is mathematically impossible.(AFP)

Sri Lanka had the early wins in the first innings, as they ensured the powerful Kiwi openers couldn't launch a big start. Finn Allen looked good but was removed by Maheesh Theekshana, before Tim Seifert fell soon after. A brief partnership followed, but the Kiwis collapsed from 75/2 to 84/6.(AP)
