The Blackcaps secured a narrow 8-run victory over Sri Lanka in the opening T20I. After being put into bat, New Zealand posted 172/6 in 20 overs.

Sri Lanka’s chase was led by Pathum Nissanka’s heroic 90 off 60 balls and Kusal Mendis’ 46 from 36 deliveries. However, the Kiwi bowlers held their nerve, with Jacob Duffy (picking three), Matt Henry, and Zakary Foulkes (taking two each) delivering crucial breakthroughs to restrict Sri Lanka just short of the target.
