New Zealand v Sri Lanka, 2013-14

At Hambantota, November 10, 2013 (day/night). No result. Toss: New Zealand.
A stand of 137 in 26 overs between Dilshan and Sangakkara put Sri Lanka back on course after Karunaratne had fallen to the first ball of the match. Mathews later spanked an unbeaten 74 from 64 balls to set up a challenging total. Rain was always forecast - it was one reason Mills decided to bowl first - and it swept in for good early in New Zealand's innings, during which Malinga also took a wicket in the first over.
