Sri Lanka win by 45 runs on DLS after the run chase was shortened to 27 overs. Will Young and Tim Robinson provided New Zealand with a solid start. However, once they fell, the visitors lost wickets at regular intervals, losing their momentum as the required rate quickly climbed. Dilshan Madushanka took three crucial wickets to his name.
