Sri Lanka vs New Zealand 1st T20I Live Updates: Left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage took three wickets for Sri Lanka to leave a second string New Zealand side all out for 135 in Saturday’s T20I opener. Fresh from a commanding red-ball series win in India, the tourists arrived in the island nation missing Tom Blundell, Rachin Ravindra and other stalwarts who are resting for an upcoming Test battle against England. Despite a brisk start that saw the Kiwis notch up 12 runs in the first over, Sri Lanka’s spinners quickly brought their inning to a screeching halt.

Wellalage finished 3-20 and Wanindu Hasaranga took two while pacers Matheesha Pathirana and Nuwan Thushara also piled on the misery, grabbing four wickets between them. All-rounder Michael Bracewell showed the only fight from the top and middle order, scoring 27 off 24 balls including two fours and a six. (Live Scorecard)
