Adam Milne took five wickets as New Zealand’s seamers derailed Sri Lanka’s innings, before a scintillating Tim Seifert sent New Zealand racing to a modest target of 142, hitting 79 not out off 43 balls. After the Super Over thriller in Auckland, this match was exceedingly one-sided for the most part.
