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.
As we have Sri Lanka defeated in first game of the series now I strongly believe they deserved to be whitewashed because after having good start and control of game suddenly they have gone like crap and also lost game is surely shameful for them opening stand ended on 121 then rest of team fail to score anything good specially all players gone on single digit in second game we have again good batting from New Zealand but sadly Sri Lankan batting down badly.
We have few personal good performances from Jacob Duffy, Pathum Nissanka and Wanindu Hasaranga which are good for the game and these countries hopefully we will have good contest in last game on Thursday after this ODI series could be also well-balanced.
