Sri Lanka claimed a dramatic Super Over win in the opening match of their three-game T20 series against New Zealand on Sunday to earn their first victory on tour.
The match went to a tie-break decider after both teams chalked up 196 runs in a high-scoring thriller at Auckland’s Eden Park. New Zealand only made 8-2 off a tight Super Over bowled by spinner Maheesh Theekshana before Charith Asalanka smashed a six off the second ball of Sri Lanka’s response, then sealed victory with a four. He also scored 67 off 41 in the match.
