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.
Sri Lanka main goal now is to stop New Zealand from winning all games in series. They can only do this if they win third T20I game. In first match Sri Lanka played well but New Zealand played better in second game. Sri Lanka tried to catch up to New Zealand score of 186 but they were 45 runs short. Now Sri Lanka is under pressure to do well in last match but they are good enough to win and not lose all games. To win they need to stop New Zealand batsmen from scoring too many runs especially if New Zealand bats first.
Yesterday we saw excellent by that players of New Zealand International T20 cricket team because that team made excellent runs in this match and after they won the match easily by high margin and they played well in all formats because they did excellent bowling, batting and fielding. Mitchell Hay was awarded as player of the match because he gave excellent effort for the win of team and we are expecting that team will win next match and Sri Lankan team is little nervous because they lost 2 matches of the series and hopefully they will lost next match and the result of this series could be 3-0 . But Sri Lankan players should give all effort to win next match because they could win this match.
