New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI - Sri Lanka in New Zealand, 3 ODI Series, 2023 - summary

New Zealand will be top of the moon right now. How good were they with the ball? The pacers ruled with some swing bowling display. Matt Henry and Henry Shipley started the proceedings and then Daryl Mitchell came in to get three wickets to his name while the other two mentioned too ended with three each. They were superb in the slips and overall on the field as well. This should be an easy chase for New Zealand unless Sri Lanka come up with some magic. Stay tuned.

A sorry looking batting card for the Lankans. They were beaten by pace dearly. There was no significant contributions from anyone apart from Nissanka at the top. The other batters were victims to some class swing bowling. They were right under the pump as they lose three inside the 10 overs. Dasun Shanaka and Pathum Nissanka were trying to build a stand but a silly run out didn't help them. The skipper and Chamika Karunaratne made some handy contributions but we feel, this is way below-par.

Tom Latham says Matt Henry, Henry Shipley and Daryl Mitchell were really good with the ball. Adds Lanka bowled really well, creidts Young and Nicholls for the way they played. Adds it would have been nice to play all three games but can't do anything about the weather and he is pleased with how the boy have played.

Dasun Shanaka says the batting was not good, they had a chance to score 250 but they kept losing wickets. Adds it is never easy to bat here but they were not up for the challenge. Says they played two Tests before this and the experienced players need to take more responsibilty. 150 was never going to be enough but they bowled well at the start, however, Young and Nicholls played well.

Henry Shipley, PLAYER OF THE SERIES, says he feels good. Adds the wickets had a lot of bounce and he made good use of it. States it is about learning from the experiences and he hopes he can be effective in unfamiliar conditions too. Ends by saying he is looking forward to the tour of Pakistan.

Man of the Match, Will Young says it is good to get over the line, they were under pressure but the partnership with Nicholls came at the right time. Adds he has played here and there are some special memories here. Mentions he is looking forward to the T20I series.

... PRESENTATION TIME ...

Lanka just did not have enough on the board, another 100 runs and things could have well been different. They bowled really well though to begin with. The likes of Lahiru Kumara and Kasun Rajitha were very effective with the new balls but as the game progressed, batting got easier and it was too easy for Nicholls and Young. Another dominating performance from the Kiwis to take the series 2-0.

A very convincing win in the end for the Kiwis! The chase though was not all that straight forward at first. They lost 4 in quick succession and were in trouble. They could have lost a 5th too had Henry Nicholls not taken the review and after that, it was all about New Zealand. One partnership is all they needed and it came as Henry Nicholls and Will Young added 100. Young was the mainstay, he batted brilliantly and is the biggest reason for Kiwis winning but Nicholls gave him able support.
