The series trophy is presented to Mitch Santner who flashes a big smile and then the New Zealand side pose with the trophy. They are all smiles. That ends the T20I series. We have the ODIs next starting on January 4th (5th in India). We will be there for that. Do join us then. And keep following all the cricket action here. See you soon. Bye.
Mitchell Santner | New Zealand captain: It was a pretty good surface, they made the most of it. Great pitch in front of a great crowd. It's nice to get around the country and see the turnout we saw. Nice to perform in front of the New Zealand crowd. The way you play is pretty similar, we have got to adapt to conditions in Wellington, we were pretty good in all three games, lots of learnings and a lot of positives in the series. Today we came up on the wrong side, but youngsters coming up and performing, that's what we can ask for going forward.
Charith Asalanka | Sri Lanka captain: It's a good win for us. Throughout the series, we have played good cricket but did not manage to win but today we got it. I was bowling in home conditions, not here, today we were short of one bowler, that's the main reason to bowl. It's a momentum shift for us, adapting to conditions is key to success here. Congrats to New Zealand for the series win and looking forward to the ODIs. [on Kusal Perera] No words for that, since 2013 or something we got a T20I century, we were looking for a 100, he played amazing.
Jacob Duffy | Player of the Series: Amazing series win against a very strong Sri Lankan team and happy to be a part of it. It's good to put pressure at the death and Kusal's knock today was very good. Playing for the country is a huge honor and this time of the year to play in front of such crowds is amazing. It's been awesome and expect more of it. 
Kusal Perera | Player of the Match: It's always a pleasure to score a 100. When I faced the first ball today, was like a wake-up call. I always try to back myself and play my natural game. These conditions are helpful for the seamers, the last two games we did not get a start, once you get a start here you need to make it count. That's what I tried to do. 
17:18 Local Time, 04:18 GMT, 09:48 IST: A consolation win for Sri Lanka. New Zealand tried hard but quick wickets starting with Hay's and some good bowling at the death from Binura Fernando and Thushara helped them win this one.
19.6
Binura Fernando to Santner, 1 run, Sri Lanka win.
9 off 1. If Binura Fernando keeps his foot behind the line and does not bowl a wide, this will be over.
19.5
Binura Fernando to Foulkes, 1 run, to mid-off
10 off 2
19.4
Binura Fernando to Foulkes, SIX, still New Zealand in this. A slower-ball off-cutter full outside off, Foulkes shuffles across and lofts nicely and clears the long-off fence, first one Foulkes has struck cleanly
Just one good delivery should win this for Sri Lanka.
19.3
Binura Fernando to Foulkes, 2 runs, full outside off, driven wide of sweeper cover and it's just two
18 off 4
19.3
Binura Fernando to Foulkes, wide
