Sri Lanka has the upper hand in the 3rd T20I, as they managed to get to a gargantuan total of 218/5. Kusal Perera made 101 from just 46 balls, and received good support at the other end from Charith Asalanka. Kiwi bowlers, who performed really well in the first two matches got some real punishment this time, and Zakary Foulkes returned figures of 4-0-52-1. The spinners (Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell and Glenn Phillips) were also quite expensive, with all of them going for more than 10 runs per over.
In the third T20 match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, New Zealand team won the toss and decided bowl. Sri Lankan batsmen lost the toss and batted very responsibly. Due to their responsible batting, it was possible to defeat New Zealand by 7 runs in today's match. Today's match was very important for sri lanka if today's match is lost then sri lanka team will be whitewashed. The opening pair of New Zealand batted very responsibly in the target of 218 runs given by Sri Lanka. Rachin Ravindra and Tim Robinson batted very responsibly. Rachin Ravindra scored 69 runs in 39 balls and Tim Robinson scored 37 runs in 21 balls. After the dismissal of the New Zealand opening pair, neither batsman could bat more responsibly, which led to a defeat against Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan team won the last match by defeating New Zealand by seven runs. Congratulations to the Sri Lankan team.
