New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Chances of Winning
New Zealand dominated on home turf and they managed to achieve a 2-1 series victory in the T20I tournament prior to this. In the first outing, New Zealand were the first to bat and they posted 172 runs on the board. Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell’s 62 and 59 were the top scores of the innings and the hosts had a defendable target. Sri Lanka’s batting was quite poor and even though the openers, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis were able to score 90 and 46 runs, respectively, the rest of the team failed to bring it home. By the end of 20 overs, Sri Lanka were 164/8 and they ended up losing by eight runs. The second match was similar as New Zealand racked in 186 runs to start the match but Sri Lanka had trouble chasing it down. This time, the visitors were bundled out for 141 which led to a 45-run defeat.
Sri Lanka avoided a complete washout, though, as they finally played a competitive match in the final. They were the first to bat this time around and managed to secure an insurmountable score of 218. Kusal Perera’s 101 and Charith Asalanka’s 46 set the team up for success and New Zealand had their work cut out. Rachin Ravindra’s 69 was the top score of the innings and in the end, New Zealand lost by a mere seven runs.
