Dambulla: Sri Lanka huffed and puffed to a three-wicket win over New Zealand in the second ODI of the tri-series and helped India reclaim the second spot in the ICC ODI team rankings on Friday. India had surrendered the second position to Kiwis after the humiliating 200-run loss in the series-opener.
Opener Upul Tharanga (70 off 109) was top scorer in Sri Lanka’s haphazard chase as Sri Lanka scored 195 for seven in 40.5 overs in a target of 193.
New Zealand, electing to bat, were all out for 192 in 48.1 overs after Sri Lanka’s pace duo of Lasith Malinga (3/35) and Angelo Mathews (3/36) shared six wickets between them. The Kiwi total was built around some good effort by debutant BJ Watling (55) and Nathan McCullum (36).
