Spinners and Asalanka lead Sri Lanka to low-scoring win over New Zealand in 1st T20

Associated Press  

DAMBULLA, Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka spinners clipped the New Zealand batters on a turning pitch to win a low-scoring first Twenty20 by four wickets on Saturday. Dunith Wellalage, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana shared six wickets as they bowled out New Zealand for 135 in 19.3 overs. New Zealand fast bowler Zakary Foulkes picked up three wickets in three overs but Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka’s unbeaten 35 — the game’s top score — carried Sri Lanka to 140-6 with an over to spare. We felt that we could defend it, but a couple of good knocks take it away from you.” Tim Robinson was clean bowled off Wellalage’s quick arm ball and Mark Chapman flicked fast bowler Nuwan Tushara to Hasaranga at deep square leg.
