Sri Lankan skipper Atapattu's gamble pays off on damp ground


DAMBULLA (Sri Lanka): Romesh Kaluwitharana capitalised on his bowlers' efforts with a vital 48 on a difficult pitch to lead Sri Lanka to a five-wicket win over New Zealand in a triangular series match here yesterday. 

Off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan (3-16) and fast bowler Prabath Nissanka (2-11) helped Sri Lanka restrict New Zealand to 139 in a match reduced to 46-overs-a-side due to morning showers.
