New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by 9 wickets with 32 balls to spare in the second T20 International match on Wednesday thanks to the excellent performance of Adam Milne (5 wickets) and Tim Seifert (79 *). Sri Lanka batted first in the match played in Dunedin and the entire team was all out for 141 runs in 19 overs.

 

In response, New Zealand achieved the target by losing one wicket in 14.4 overs. Adam Milne (4 overs, 26 runs, 5 wickets) was adjudged player of the match for his brilliant performance. With this victory, the Kiwi team drew 1-1 in the three T20 International series. The third and final T20 International match between the two countries will be played in Queenstown on Saturday.

 

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.

 

Seifert dominated from here on. He made an unbeaten century partnership for the second wicket with captain Tom Latham (20 *) and sealed the team's victory. Seifert scored an unbeaten 79 in only 43 balls with the help of three fours and 6 sixes. Kasun Rajith got the only breakthrough for Sri Lanka.

 

Deadly bowling from Adam Milne

Sri Lanka got off to a poor start after being invited to bat first by New Zealand. Opener Kusal Mendis (10) was caught by Ben Lister at the hands of wicketkeeper Latham. 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. Milne broke the partnership by getting Perera caught by Neesham.

 

Soon Rachin Ravindra gave the fourth blow to Sri Lanka by getting Dhananjay de Silva caught out by Lister. From here the Kiwi bowlers completely dominated. Sri Lanka, who lost 99/4 wickets, again kept falling wickets at regular intervals and the entire team was all out for 141 runs in 19 overs. Milen completed his five-wicket haul by dismissing Charit Aslanka (24), Pramod Madushan, and Dilshan Madushanka.
