It was an amazing bowling display by Muttiah Muralitharan who worked his magic on the Kiwi batsmen.

 

The speciality of his bowling as always is that he kept his head and remained calm even when Kiwi's were going strong after a good start and Murali had to even counter the dew which made the ball difficult to spin or even hold. Sadly, neither RossTaylor, Scott Styris, Kane Williamson or James Franklin were able to come to grips with Murali's bag of tricks.

 

This spell once again proved the calibre of Murali who is still able to turn things around with his phenomenal spin bowling.
