Sri Lanka’s innings never took off while chasing a par-total. The Sri Lankan batters made some poor shot choices, which enabled Henry Shipley and Matt Henry to bowl superbly with the new ball. By 10 overs, they were 31-5, and from that point on, there was no turning back.
The only top-order batsman to reach double figures was Angelo Mathews, and Sri Lanka continued to falter until they were eventually bowled out for a pitiful 76. Shipley was the best bowler for New Zealand, claiming 5-31 in 7 overs and recording his first ODI century.
What a ball Mr Shipley 👏

Lathan did not have the outing he wanted in the test series but would like to compensate for that in the upcoming ODIs. Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka being an white ball specialist missed the test series but would like to win the series as a lead-up to the 2023 ODI World Cup.
