New Zealand cricket team will look to seal a series win over Sri Lanka when the two sides face off in the second T20I match at the Bay Oval Stadium in Mount Maunganui on Monday. Mitchell Santner-led Black Caps team came from behind in the first T20I match to stun the visitors by eight runs.
The Kiwis were 65 for 5 at one stage while batting first but a century partnership between all-rounder Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell took them to a competitive 172 for 8. In reply, Sri Lanka were cruising to a win and were 121 for no loss in their chase led by opener Pathum Nissanka’s 90 but Jacob Duffy’s triple strike derailed the Lankan chase.
Charith Asalanka’s side failed to chase down 14 runs to win in the final over and ultimately losing a game, they should have won. It was New Zealand’s second successive win over the Lankans in T20I cricket after a win by 5 runs last month to level a two-match series at 1-1 in Sri Lanka. In the last 5 T20I matches between the two sides, New Zealand have now won 4 of those matches.
Sri Lanka fight to keep the series alive, while New Zealand aim to seal the deal!
