In the second T20 match yesterday we thought maybe Sri Lanka would win very easily with a target of 187 runs but Sri Lanka were four wickets up to 127 runs but then the next 6 Sri Lankan batsmen got out to collect only 14 runs. So it is easy to understand that Sri Lanka will be whitewashed in the T20 series because there were some easy matches which Sri Lanka could not win. So in the last match too, New Zealand will want to whitewash and that's how they will perform.
Although the Kiwis had a slow start, they amassed runs towards the end. They scored 41 runs from the last 2.3 overs, with Mitchell Hay smashing the Lankan bowlers without any mercy. That more than made up for the relatively slow scoring from both Tim Robinson and Mark Chapman. And Lankans struggled with their batting, once Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera got out. Matt Henry and Jacob Duffy made use of the pace-friendly conditions at the Bay Oval and Lankan batsmen struggled against them.
