ICC World Cup 2019 - New Zealand vs Sri Lanka

Third successive game of this tournament also ended in a drab one sided win, as the Kiwis steamrolled past the Sri Lankans total of 136 with all their wickets intact - both openers Guptill & Munro getting pleasing half centuries under their belt, in a rather easy run chase.
Barring Capt Karunaratne, who carried his bat through the Lankan innings with a patient unbeaten 52, & a couple of useful efforts from both the Perera's, it was a pedestrian effort in batting, as the whole team folded within 30 overs - in reply the Kiwis raced past in just over 16 overs as the game ended, even before the spectators had warmed into their seats.
Matt Henry was the Man of the Match, picking up 3 crucial wickets upfront for the Kiwis to rock the Lankan batting.
New Zealand are now perched on top of the table, just behind the Windies, with a very healthy NRR, something that might come handy at the later stages of the round robin.
