New Zealand has taken a commanding lead in the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, securing a thrilling eight-run victory in the inaugural match at Mount Maunganui.

The Kiwis posted an impressive total of 172 for 8, driven by a remarkable 105-run partnership between Daryl Mitchell, who blasted 62 runs off 42 balls, and Michael Bracewell, who contributed a crucial 59 runs off 33 balls.

In response, Sri Lanka’s chase was spearheaded by Pathum Nissanka’s scintillating 90 runs off 60 balls, complemented by Kusal Mendis’s 46 runs off 36 balls. However, Jacob Duffy’s exceptional bowling, claiming 3 wickets for 21 runs, triggered a dramatic collapse that saw Sri Lanka fall agonizingly short by eight runs.

As the teams gear up for the second T20I, New Zealand is poised to clinch the series with another convincing win, while Sri Lanka is determined to bounce back and level the series. Fans can expect another electrifying encounter between these two fiercely competitive sides.
