"Mitchell Santner led New Zealand's recovery on Wednesday with a captain's knock of 47 off 26 balls after coming in with his side in huge trouble at 84-5 to power them to a competitive 168-7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo."
"Santner joined Cole McConchie, who made 31 not out, in a rapid 47-ball stand of 84 that proved decisive. Santner smacked four sixes as New Zealand plundered 70 runs from the last four overs to ensure their bowlers had a decent total to defend."
"Henry bowled Pathum Nissanka for a duck with the first ball of the Sri Lankan innings and deceived Charith Asalanka with a slower delivery in his next over. Player of the match Ravindra then whittled out Sri Lanka's middle order to derail the chase."
