Stormy innings of Tim Seifert
Chasing the target of 142 runs, New Zealand got off to an aggressive start by Tim Seifert (79 *). He added 40 runs for the first wicket with Chad Bowes (31). Bowes also took an aggressive approach and scored 31 runs in just 15 balls with the help of 7 fours. Kasun Rajith ended Bowes' innings by getting caught by Dhananjay de Silva.

Deadly bowling from Adam Milne

Then Adam Milne got Pathum Nissanka (9) out and caught by Lister. Kusal Perera (35) and Dhananjay de Silva (37) added 62 runs for the third wicket.
