New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Highlights, 3rd ODI: Sri Lanka won by 140 runs

Mitchell Santner to Kusal Mendis, Angled into the batter, Kusal Mendis goes deep inside the crease and tucks this towards leg for a single. 

Time for the first hydration break of the match. Sri Lanka bossed the powerplay, in all fairness with Pathum Nissanka going all guns blazing. But, his injury has certainly slowed down the scoring rate after that. Mitchell Santner and Nathan Smith have effectively managed to stem the flow of runs to an extent and would like to further press on their opposition with a couple of quick wickets. The Mendis duo meanwhile, will be aiming to spend more time on the crease to settle and construct a solid stand from here and cruise through the mid-overs. An important phase coming up. Santner to continue after the break. He is 3-0-15-0 so far.

Nathan Smith to Avishka Fernando, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Natham Smith strikes for New Zealand and provides that crucial breakthrough. He hurls it on a good length, and angles it on the pads, Avishka Fernando moves inside the line of the ball, and goes for the pull shot looking to take on Mark Chapman at the deep square leg fence. However, the ball isn't that short to execute that shot, hence, he doesn't time it well and the ball gets more elevation than distance and Mark Chapman does the rest by taking a regulation catch. Avishka Fernando's struggling innings comes to an end as he departs for 17 off 33 balls. Sri Lanka are 69/1.

Oh dear! Not a pleasing sign for Sri Lanka. Pathum Nissanka has struggled to complete the single here and just doesn't look fit enough to continue. He is on his haunches. Meanwhile, Sanath Jayasuriya is seen ordering him to come back and Pathum Nissanka walks out and is retired hurt. He will get a chance to bat again if he is fit later on. Kusal Mendis walks out to bat now. Also, a change in bowling as Mitchell Santner comes into the attack, replacing Matt Henry.

Ouch! Pathum Nissanka is looking in some discomfort and is unable to continue. A blow to the batting team as Pathum Nissanka is retired hurt.

Nathan Smith to Avishka Fernando, Just wide of mid-wicket! Touch full and on middle and leg, angling further in, Avishka Fernando chips it uppishly and wide of mid-wicket. 

Worrying signs for Pathum Nissanka and Sri Lanka as he is down and undergoing some treatment. In the last few strides of this quick one to bring up his fifty, Pathum Nissanka had a grimace on his face and it appeared to do something with his groin. Nissanka after some treatment is fit to continue.
