Sri Lanka v New Zealand - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Mathews had a horror outing with the bat

Sri Lanka, after showing glimpses of fight in the ODIs, were back to being...well Sri Lanka. With 181 to chase down, none of their batsmen appeared good enough to take the fight to the Indians and unsurprisingly folded yet again to the wrist spinners - Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav.

Angelo Mathews took five balls to get off the mark and was dismissed for one off his seventh ball. His colleagues did not fare any better as all of them found the going tough. Although Kusal Perera hung around for a while, even he couldn't make much of an impact. They eventually folded for a measly 87.
