The Alliance at one stage looked set for a big total with Aravinda de Silva batting in his zen-like cool state from 1996, but this time his plans were foiled by one of his own team-mates from that triumph. Muttiah Muralitharan, who had been economical all tournament without being particularly incisive claimed both de Silva and his Sri Lankan skipper Arjuna Ranatunga in the space of three balls to completely change the complexion of the match. He eventually finished with a five-fer, claiming 5 for 23 off his 7.5 overs in a demolition job that left his team to chase a fairly below par 202.

It was the steady accumulation of skipper David Boon and Rahul Dravid that won the day for the World Cup Warriors, who finished 3rd place out of 20 teams. Boon top-scored with a steely 69 off 105 balls, whilst Dravid only just missed out on yet another fifty-plus score when he was run out for 48. Still, he finished as the tournament's leading run-scorer by some distance with 493 runs at an average of 82.17 whilst striking at a respectable 79.26 per 100 balls with 2 centuries and half-centuries apiece - the next best being Rohit Sharma with a distant 345. Not a bad effort for a player whom many quite unfairly regarded as unfit for ODI cricket.
