NZ vs SL: Theekshana’s hat-trick in vain as New Zealand crushes Sri Lanka by 113 runs in 2nd ODI to win series

The Hindu  

New Zealand ripped through Sri Lanka’s top-order Wednesday to win the rain-reduced second ODI in Hamilton by 113 runs and clinch the series. Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana took a hat-trick as the home side posted 255-9 off 37 overs but the tourists could only muster 142 all out off 30.2 overs in response. Kaminu Mendis top-scored with his ODI best score of 64 off 66 balls but fell to a spectacular running catch from Daryl Mitchell from the bowling of Will O’Rourke to seal Sri Lanka’s fate. Janith Liyanage’s 22 was the next best score in a Sri Lanka chase marred by two run-outs and a series of risky shots that didn’t pay off.
