NZ vs SL: Sri Lanka wins 3rd T20I by 7 runs but New Zealand claims series 2-1

The Hindu  

Kusal Perera scored Sri Lanka’s fastest T20I century — from 44 balls — on Thursday to spur his team to a consolation win over New Zealand by seven runs in the final game of the three-match series. Perera’s career-best score in a century partnership with captain Charith Asalanka lifted Sri Lanka to 218 for five — its second-highest T20 score, as it batted first for the first time in the series. New Zealand needed to achieve its highest run chase in T20s to complete a clean sweep of the series and was given a good start by Rachin Ravindra who made 69 from 39 balls. After taking six runs from the first three balls, one of which was a wide, Zak Foulkes hit the fourth ball for six, leaving New Zealand needing 10 from the last two balls.
