The Black Caps have cruised to a 115 run win over Sri Lanka in their third one-day international in Nelson

The Black Caps have cruised to a 115 run win over Sri Lanka in their third one-day international in Nelson

8 January 2019

New Zealand scored 364 with the bat, with Ross Taylor leading the way on 137, before Sri Lanka were rolled for 249.

Henry Nicholls scored 124 with the bat off 80 balls and says he came out trying to get the scoring going as much as possible.

He says the wicket was a little bit tacky early on, but got better and it was nice to add a solid partnership with Taylor.

The win secures a three-nil series victory.
