Speaking of the 1st SL vs NZ ODI, Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando smashed centuries against a new-look New Zealand side as the hosts cruised to a 45-run win via DLS method in a rain-hit first ODI on Wednesday.
Mendis smashed a career-best 143 off 128 balls and Fernando made 100 off 115 in Sri Lanka’s imposing total of 324-5 in 49.2 overs before rain came and reduced New Zealand’s target to 221 off 27 overs.
Will Young and Tim Robinson, one of the three New Zealand debutants, combined in an 88-run opening stand but Sri Lanka derailed the Black Caps’ chase through its spinners and restricted the reply to a total of 175-9.
Pallekele will host the remaining two matches of the series on Sunday and Tuesday.
