Sri Lanka dominate New Zealand in dead rubber with emphatic win

Sri Lanka concluded their tour of New Zealand with a commanding 140-run victory in the third ODI at Eden Park on 11 January, salvaging pride in a dead rubber after losing the series.

The visitors capitalised on the small boundaries to post a competitive total of 290-8 before dismantling New Zealand's batting lineup to secure a morale-boosting triumph.

New Zealand's top order faltered spectacularly, with four of their first-choice top six managing just three runs between them.

While the loss came in a series-decider of little consequence, it marked a disappointing end to the Black Caps' home summer.

Mark Chapman was the only New Zealand batter to stand tall, scoring 81 off 81 balls in a valiant effort.

Playing in his 110th international match, the 30-year-old recorded his highest ODI score for New Zealand, displaying the potential that has often gone unnoticed on home soil.

Despite a brave fight, Chapman's dismissal ended the innings at 150, with no other Kiwi batter crossing 20 runs.

Earlier, Sri Lanka's batting was built on solid contributions from Pathum Nissanka (66), Kusal Mendis (54), and Janith Liyanage (53 off 52). Their efforts ensured a challenging target for the hosts, while Kamindu Mendis added a crucial 46 to stabilise the middle order.

Henry achieves milestone

Matt Henry was the standout performer for New Zealand with the ball, taking 4-55 in his 10 overs. The seamer reached the landmark of 150 ODI wickets during the match, dismissing Liyanage with a low full toss in the final over. Henry achieved the milestone in his 85th ODI, making him the second-fastest New Zealand bowler to do so, behind Trent Boult, who achieved the feat in 81 matches.

Globally, Henry ranks as the eighth-fastest bowler to reach 150 ODI wickets, with Australia's Mitchell Starc leading the pack, having achieved the mark in just 77 matches.

Trent Boult 81 05/06/2019

Richard Hadlee 110 04/03/1990
Tim Southee 110 30/01/2017

What's next for the Black Caps?

While this loss may sting, New Zealand have two more matches in an upcoming tri-series against Pakistan and South Africa to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the Champions Trophy. The focus will now shift to regaining momentum and sharpening form before the tournament.
