    Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium: Sri Lanka defeated New Zealand by 45 runs via DLS method to win the first One-day International match of the series after Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis struck fine centuries at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium here on Wednesday.

    After the start of the match was delayed by a downpour and one over taken off each innings, Avishka Fernando scored 100 off 115 balls while Kusal Mendis hammered 143 off 128 balls after Sri Lanka opted to bat first and helped them post a massive 324/5 in 49.2 overs when rain intervened again to cut short the innings.

    Avishka struck nine boundaries and two sixes as he anchored the innings after the hosts lost fellow opener Pathum Nissanka (12) with 17 runs on the board. Avishka and Kusal added 206 runs for the second wicket as they set the platform for a big score.
