The spin trio of <strong>Dunith Wellalage<\/strong>, <strong>Wanindu Hasaranga<\/strong>, and <strong>Maheesh Theekshana<\/strong> claimed six wickets between them, dismantling New Zealand\u2019s batting lineup and ensuring that the visitors didn\u2019t run away with a big total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Early Strikes<\/strong><br>Wellalage opened the account by bowling out Tim Robinson, and within the first six overs, <strong>Nuwan Thusara<\/strong> and Theekshana also struck, leaving New Zealand struggling at <strong>29\/3<\/strong> by the end of the PowerPlay. Thusara&#8217;s pace and Theekshana\u2019s clever line forced New Zealand to adopt a cautious approach that put them under pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Middle Overs Dominance<\/strong><br>Post PowerPlay, <strong>Glenn Phillips<\/strong> and <strong>Michael Bracewell<\/strong> tried to consolidate but couldn\u2019t fend off the spin assault for long. Hasaranga, known for his skillful variations, got Phillips with a deceptive googly, and the rest of the middle order crumbled as Pathirana picked two wickets in quick succession. By the 15th over, New Zealand had slipped to <strong>96\/8<\/strong>, barely managing to stay afloat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Late Resistance<\/strong><br>A crucial 39-run partnership between <strong>Zakary Foulkes<\/strong> and <strong>Ish Sodhi<\/strong> brought New Zealand some respectability, pushing them to a score of <strong>135\/9<\/strong> in their 20 overs.

He received support from Hasaranga, and together they stitched a partnership that took Sri Lanka close to the target.
