Clinical Bowling Effort Helps Sri Lanka Beat New Zealand In 1st T20I
Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium: A clinical bowling performance helped Sri Lanka to a comprehensive four-wicket win over New Zealand in the first match of the two-match T20I series here on Saturday.
Dunith Wellalage claimed 3-20 while Nuwan Thushara, Wanindu Hasaranga and Matheesha Pathirana claimed 2-14, 2-30, and 2-25 respectively as New Zealand were bowled out for 135 in 19.3 overs after the Black Caps won the toss and elected to bat first at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium.
With superb efforts from Wellalage, Theekshana, and Thursra, New Zealand was soon reduced to 31/3 in the Power Play, from which they did not recover. Glenn Phillips (13) and Michael Bracewell (27) scored 53, but a couple of quick wickets halted their progress once again as the hosts' bowlers kept pegging at the rival batting lineup.
