However, the result of the match was expected for me and from my personal perspective, I also think that most people expected New Zealand to win this match as well. However, I will agree with you that Sri Lanka's wickets fell a little too quickly, especially when it came to taking the last wickets here, with two outs almost every over. In this regard, New Zealand's batting lineup has also performed excellently, with Jacob Andrew Duffy in particular having a hilarious performance as a T20I fielder.
Anyway, New Zealand has already won the series, so what are your thoughts on match number three? I expect that since New Zealand are the hosts in this series, they will enjoy the advantage in the third match as well and whitewash the Sri Lankan team.
The only thing left for Sri Lanka in this series is to avoid whitewash and this is possible only if they won third T20I. Sri Lanka played well in first T20I but New Zealanders dominated today's game. Today New Zealand gave target of 186 and Sri Lankans were 45 runs short of this target. Now pressure is on Sri lanka in the final game and they have the capability to win the last T20I to avoid whitewash. To win the last game, Sri Lanka need to control New Zealand batters and stop them from giving big target in case they are batting first.
