I think New Zealand got lucky in this match as Sri Lanka should of got the win, the rain I think played a part in this match as it can change the momentum of the match. I did think that New Zealand middle order batted well to help get them the win.

To sum up we can say that NZ was lucky who was able to win this match and Srilanka continue their bad form and bad luck.
The rain should have help Srilanka but NZ played better in the latter part of the innings.
Now as we are watching New Zealand for some weeks they are improving and on this tour lady of luck is also with them so now they deserve wins they already lost some big even they was deserve for this big win in this twenty/20 they done good job and won.

Did not expect Sri Lanka to lose this one especially since Malinga was bowling so well and stopped Grandhomme. With Ross Taylor gone, I seriously thought that they won this one, but the New Zealand tail enders delivered.

Mitchell and Santner saved them in this game. Thought of placing a bet on Sri Lanka earlier, but decided not to which turned out to be a good decision.

When a team does not field well and drop catches, then they should leave the hope of winning. Srilanka drop Ross Taylor and did not field well in the last 10 overs. If they had played with some responsibility they would have won easily. Except Malinga no other bowler could retain the pressure on Newzealand.

Sri lanka are messing up things  Cheesy  A drop catch and unstoppable Ross Taylor is hurting Sri lanka.
I think the match is shifted in the New Zealand favor in the last 3 overs.
Old is gold  Cheesy
I think it's still 50-50, SL need to deliver two good overs and they will win the match, however, they need to stop taylor anyhow. NZ lower order batsman aren't much experienced and it will certainly help SL at the death over.

Rain has come to add to the drama.
By the way, if the rain does not stop. NZ will won by 2 runs. How lucky would that be for NZ when Ross Taylor is just out  ?

New Zealand left it till the last over to win the match, it was a risky decision but in the end it worked for them. I felt that Srilanka players could have played little better, because at times it felt they would be able to cause an upset. @vella85 New Zealand middle order players have lots of experience, hence it was easy for them to navigate their team towards victory.

I watched only the last 6 overs. Ideally, Kiwis should win this game easily, but everything could change in a couple of overs. In the shorter format, every team can ruin their chances in short time.
175 is the average score in this ground and Kiwis must have chased it, however, 2 earlier wickets has made it harder now. I still think with the batsman NZ have can easily chase 174.

Not following the match but seems like our World cup runner up team lost 2 wickets already. I have no interest in this T20. So, I do not bother much about it.
So, you didn't bet either? You would probably lose today as well  Grin

This chase is not going to be easy as NZ has lost 3 wickets and 62 on the board.  Unless Srilanka really mess up things, i do not see how NZ can win from here ?

No, I did not gamble. In fact I did not gamble since the World cup. Really trying myself to keep out of it and focusing on enjoying the match. Gambling is very stressful and you actually lose your analytical instinct, you will always side for the team you gambled no matter if they win or lose, plying better or not.

Actually from my experience, whenever we gamble on the team or certain score, the opposite of that started to happen.  Cheesy   As long as we are not gambling, all our predictions are coming true. The moment we think, oh yes, i am expert and can gamble on my predictions, we started to make wrong predictions.

Okay so its official they can't touch 200 runs mark. they are satisfy with singles in the 17th over and Southee has one more over left.  Lips sealed
174 for 4 is the final score.
I almost forgot about this series and the T20. I was too much into Test cricket especially in the Ashes :-P

Anyway, for the team like NZ, this should not be hard job to chase. I have not seen the Sri Lankan innings. They left 6 wickets but still they are short in scoring run. This is unusual.

This is a mid range score and any team can win this match. A good partnership between Guptill and any of the top order batsmen can easily make the game in favor of NZ.  Srilanka will be relying on Maligna to take early wickets specially Guptill. I think first five overs of NZ will tell us where this match is heading.

Edit: Malinga strikes.

Srilanka has got the good and reasonable start in first T20. It now depend upon them to make a big total for the NZ to chase.

Just for the records, the last T20 which are played here in Pallekele, Aussie score 263/3 which is the 2nd highest score in T20. This means Srilanka have to make a very big score on this batting wicket.

Don't know if SL could make big score on this pitch. 23 ball left and they still need 69 runs to reach 200. Kusal Mendis is out as well, so 200 looking tough.

SL opted to bat first. Both the team is playing under two bowlers Malinga and Southee. I think both teams will perform good, the pitch is in favor of batsman. The match is getting delayed for raining.

It has started now. Lockie Ferguson is not playing due to a thumb injury. I just hope that it is not serious. The match is taking place in the city of Kandy, which is a bit far away from Colombo. Nice to see provincial cities being given their due. Anyway, so far so good for Sri Lanka. Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera have given them a slow, but solid start. There is no Boult/Ferguson, so they should be looking for a target in excess of 180.

Sri Lanka had a good start. 50 for 1 in 6th over. It's good to see Sri Lankan batsmen delivering. Whatever the results be, This is going to be an important series for personal record of Malinga. And this record would be a good trophy for one of the greatest pace bowler of our times.
