NZ VS SL: New Zealand clinch series with 113 run victory over Sri Lanka in 2nd ODI

Hamilton: New Zealand ripped through Sri Lanka’s top-order Wednesday to win the rain-reduced second ODI in Hamilton by 113 runs and clinch the series. Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana took a hat-trick as the home side posted 255-9 off 37 overs but the tourists could only muster 142 all out off 30.2 overs in response.

It followed New Zealand’s comfortable nine-wicket win in Wellington to go 2-0 up in the series, with the third match to be played in Auckland on Saturday. Agencies
