In the first T20I match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka bowled out New Zealand for 135 runs. New Zealand could not perform as well in today's match, as we saw in the Test match against India, they could not bat well against Sri Lanka today in T20. However, Sri Lanka has already lost their opening three wickets to achieve the target of 135 runs and is under pressure at the moment. Although Sri Lanka currently has good batsmen, if they bat well and patiently, it will be possible to win. I think Sri Lanka will win today's match against New Zealand, because 89 runs off 86 balls is not a very difficult game yet.
Sri Lanka's chances of winning this match are increasing with time, currently Sri Lanka need only 28 runs from 30 balls to win this match. The equation may be too easy for Sri Lanka to win the first T20 against New Zealand. A few weeks ago we also saw that Sri Lanka and New Zealand hosted a Test series between themselves. But Sri Lanka defeated New Zealand in that series.
New Zealand team batted first in the first T20 match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka today. New Zealand batted first but managed only 135 runs. With this small number of runs, it may be very difficult to win in the T20 format. They were under temporary pressure when they fell by one wicket for three runs after going into bat with a small target set by New Zealand. However, the Sri Lankan batsmen overcame that pressure and batted fluently to reach on the brink of victory at this moment.
