Bowlers, Young help New Zealand seal series

New Zealand’s seamers triggered a second successive Sri Lanka collapse, sending the visitors sprawling in the first few overs, before they eventually sputtered to 157 all out. Then, despite an early wobble of their own, New Zealand strode confidently to the target, inside 33 overs, to wrap up the series 2-0.

Brief scores:

New Zealand 159 for 4 (Young 86*, Nicholls 44*) beat Sri Lanka 157 (Nissanka 57, Henry 3-14, Mitchell 3-32, Shipley 3-32) by six wickets
