NZ beats Sri Lanka by 45 runs in 1st one-dayer
Print Edition
Opening batsman Martin Guptill made an impressive return to international cricket after a 10-month absence through injury, scoring 138 to lead New Zealand to a 45-run win over Sri Lanka at Mount Maunganui yesterday in the first of three one-day internationals.
Guptill’s most-recent ODI was against England in March and for the intervening period he has battled a variety of injuries, mostly calf strains, before gaining a recall for the current series and likely for the World Cup later this year. He was straight back into the groove yesterday, compiling his 14th ODI century to lead New Zealand to 371-7 as it batted first after winning the toss. Allrounder Jimmy Neesham, playing his first ODI since June 2017, took 3-38 as New Zealand bowled out Sri Lanka for 326. For a good part of the run chase, Sri Lanka was ahead of the asking rate as Kusal Perera slammed 102 from 86 balls, receiving early support from Niroshan Dickwella (76) and Dushmantha Gunathilaka (43).
