Spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan shrugged off a worrying injury to take four wickets as Sri Lanka defeated table leaders New Zealand by 112 runs in their World Cup Group A clash.
Skipper Kumar Sangakkara had earlier led from the front, hitting a fine 111.
Sri Lanka made 265 for 9 (Sangakkara 111, Jayawardene 66, Southee 3-63) to beat New Zealand 153 (Taylor 33, Muralitharan 4-25) by 112 runs.
