New Zealand took the lead in the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka with a thrilling eight-run win in the first match at Mount Maunganui.
The Kiwis posted an impressive 172 for 8, driven by a remarkable 105-run partnership between Daryl Mitchell, who scored 62 runs off 42 balls, and Michael Bracewell, who made a crucial contribution of 59 runs off 33 balls.
In reply, Sri Lanka’s chase was led by Pathum Nissanka’s 90 runs off 60 balls and Kusal Mendis’ 46 runs off 36 balls. However, Jacob Duffy’s exceptional bowling, claiming 3 wickets for 21 runs, led to a dramatic collapse that saw Sri Lanka fall agonizingly short by eight runs.
