After winning the toss and electing to bat first, fast bowler Will O'Rourke got the Black Caps off to a solid start having sent openers Dimuth Karunaratne (2 runs) and Pathum Nissanka (27 runs) back to pavilion in the opening hour.

Tim Southee contributed to Rourke’s fiery start to the game and got Dinesh Chandimal’s scalp to reduce the Lions to 88/3.
