Mitchell Santner | NZ captain: Not the way we wanted to end the series. Credit to Sri Lanka though. They challenged us early and it was tough to come back from that. I think they got the ball swinging and made it challenging, they bowled well and took the catches in the powerplay.
Charith Asalanka | SL captain: It's always great to comeback like this.
Matt Henry | Player of the Series: Massively, shame we couldn't get over the line.
Asitha Fernando | Player of the Match - It's a massive confidence booster, both for myself and the team, we haven't played like this and it was a pleasure playing this way. There are areas where I can improve, I will get some work done and improve day-by-day
20:37 Local Time, 07:37 GMT, 13:07 IST: A consolation win for Sri Lanka but quite a comprehensive one. Earlier in the day, their batters got them off to a brisk start and the fifties by Nissanka, Kusal Mendis and Liyanage helped them post a formidable total - their highest of this 3-match ODI series. In reply, Theekshana dismissed Will Young for a duck pretty early in the innings, and Asitha Fernando did further damage with his three-wicket haul within the powerplay. Five of their top six batters were dismissed in single digits as the Kiwis were put on the back foot by the Lankan bowlers. Mark Chapman fought hard from one end, but due to the lack of support from his team-mates, the Blackcaps fell short of the target by a huge margin of 140 runs. Stay around for the presentations..
