New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first in the first semi final match of world cup cricket 2011 against Sri Lanka at R. Premadasa International Stadium of Colombo, Sri Lanka. First three dots balls were delivered by Malinga in his first over. No runs were taken in the first 4 balls of the match. Very dangerous bowling and attacking fielding by Sri Lanka payers. The opening batsman of New Zealand Martin Guptill was not able to take any runs still 4 balls.But the 5th ball was gone for boundary and New Zealand opened their score board 4 runs from the very first over
