New Zealand won the first ODI series match against Sri Lanka
2022 has been stellar for the Sri Lanka national team. They won the T20 Asia Cup, sensationally beating Pakistan in the final battle, and then Sri Lanka had a fantastic show at the T20 World Cup in Australia. However, Sri Lanka came to the start confronting the NZ squad in a terrible state – officially the most powerful team in Asia first lost in the T20 format, then faced 3 loses in the ODI matches to the Indians, after which 2 defeats happened in tests against the New Zealanders. Previous evening, the team from the Asian region could not interrupt the unsuccessful time — New Zealand won the first ODI series match against Sri Lanka.
The primary battle ended with the New Zealand triumph with a handicap of 198 runs.
New Zealand and Sri Lanka will need to play 2 more matches in a short format: the second match of the ODI series will be on March 28, the third – on March 31.
Will Sri Lanka manage to turn the tide of the series?
