The match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka has begun. The New Zealand team has won the toss and chosen to bowl first. Sri Lanka has lost some early wickets, scoring 82/4 in 20 overs. Fernando: 36* (44) Liyanage: 28* (39) on the crease have built the partnership. The New Zealand team bowlers are good with the ball, trying to keep everything under control. Sri Lanka won the previous ODI series that took place a month back, and this time it looks like New Zealand is winning the series.

In the first ODI match of New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka batting was really disappointing. The New Zealand team decided to bowl first by winning the toss and this decision was put to good use. The New Zealand bowlers bowled very aggressively from the beginning, due to which the Sri Lankan batsmen could not collect very good runs. The Sri Lankan team was bowled out for just 177 runs. The Sri Lankan batsmen should have batted more responsibly if they tried to play the whole over maybe they could have given the opposition a bigger target. Avishka Fernando scored the maximum runs for the Sri Lanka team. Avishka Fernando batted fairly well and got out for 56 runs off 63 balls. The target of 178 runs given by Sri Lanka was batted very responsibly by the New Zealand opener pair, the New Zealand team lost only one wicket to meet their target. New Zealand team won by nine wickets Congratulations to New Zealand team.

Yes, I have seen the entire game of this match, in today's match, the New Zealand team easily won the match due to the irresponsibility of the Sri Lankan team players. In today's first match of the ODI series, the Sri Lankan team players have performed so badly that it is not worth saying. In this match, the Sri Lankan team players failed in both batting and bowling. In today's match, the New Zealand team has completely dominated the Sri Lankan team. The Sri Lankan team had to end the "match" with disappointment due to the dominance of the New Zealand team throughout the match.

When the Sri Lankan team lost the T20 series against New Zealand, the Sri Lankan batsmen should have learned from their batting and bowling that if they want to win against New Zealand, they must play responsible batting and bowling, otherwise they will never win against. The performance of the Sri Lankan team in the first ODI match was really disappointing batting. The batting of Sri Lankan batsmen clearly shows that they have weakness in batting, Sri Lanka must focus on batting to win against New Zealand. If the Sri Lankan team wants to win the second ODI match, every player has to perform responsibly. The second ODI match is very important for Sri Lanka as these two teams face each other tomorrow. If Sri Lanka team wants to win against New Zealand they need to bat and bowl responsibly otherwise they will never win against New Zealand. Let's see how well they can perform in the second ODI after losing the first ODI.
