Kasun Rajitha, Lahiru Kumara, and Chamika Karunaratne bowled well at the death and conceded only 56 runs in the last 10.3 overs to bundle out the hosts for 274.

Only three Sri Lankan batters managed to register double-digit scores – Angelo Mathews (18), Chamika Karunaratne (11) and Lahiru Kumara (10). New Zealand bundled out Sri Lanka for 76 to secure a commanding 198-run win led by Shipley’s Maiden fifer.
