The Kiwis underlined their superiority at home in familiar conditions while Sri Lanka showed they were underprepared mentally technically.\u00a0 Sr Lanka toiled valiantly in their second stint against a tidal wave of runs to overhaul but it was too little too late. Dhananjaya De Silva 98, Skipper Karunaratne 51, Dinesh Chandimal 62 and Kusal Mendis 50 top scored.
