2024011.10
Sri Lanka claimed victory in this low-scoring battle, defeating New Zealand by 4 wickets to take an early lead in the series.
New Zealand chose to bat first after winning the toss, but their innings quickly faltered. Tim Robinson and Mark Chapman fell for just 3 and 1 runs, putting New Zealand on the back foot from the start. With a slow scoring rate, middle-order batters Will Young and Glenn Phillips chipped in with 19 and 13 runs, but their efforts weren’t enough to lift the run rate.
Michael Bracewell top-scored with 27 off 24 balls, while Zakary Foulkes added a late burst of 27 off just 16. However, despite these contributions, New Zealand’s batting lineup looked inconsistent, and they were bowled out for a modest total of 135 in 19.3 overs
