NZ 174-6 (20 ovs) vs SL

Kulasekara starts with the slower delivery in his final over as Kane Williamson takes a single from the first ball.

Kulasekara then bowls a low full toss and James Franklin takes full toll of it, lofting it back over the bowler's head for a six.

The next ball is a yorker, which Franklin digs out back to the bowler, who misfields it to give away one.

Williamson turns it on the leg side for one and Franklin hits it straight to midwicket for one.

Williamson turns the last ball to deep square leg and tries to come back for two, but is caught well short of his ground to be run out for 4.

NZ finish on a healthy 174 for six in their 20 overs and they will be pleased with their effort but the pitch is good for batting and Sri Lanka will also confident of chasing down the total.
