Asitha leads inspired bowling effort to hammer New Zealand, hand SL consolation win

India Today  

Sri Lanka ended a nearly decade-long drought on New Zealand soil by securing a commanding 140-run victory in the third ODI at Eden Park, Auckland. New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, 3rd ODI: HIGHLIGHTS New Zealand’s chase began disastrously, with Maheesh Theekshana striking in just the second over to remove Will Young. Despite the one-sided nature of the contest, New Zealand found some solace in their bowling efforts, particularly from Henry, whose late strikes prevented Sri Lanka from amassing an even larger total. Michael Bracewell also warmed up for future assignments with an economical spell, while Mitchell Santner’s effective use of spin hinted at the strategies New Zealand might employ on subcontinental pitches.
