The first T20I between New Zealand and Sri Lanka turned out to be an absolute thril♕ler as the contest went into the Super Over at Eden Park in Auckland on Sunday.
With 7 needing on the final delivery, Ish Sodhi smacked a six over mid-wicket to force a one-over decider. However, the hosts couldn’t get the job done, with the Islanders taking a 1-0 lead in the 3-match series, courtesy of Charith Asalanka‘s battᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚing brilliance in the Super Over. Notably, it was Sri Lanka’s first victory on New Zealand soil in any format since 2015.
