...Presentation...
It was looking like a straight forward win for Sri Lanka with the total on the board but their top order was cleaned up by the hat trick hero Lockie Ferguson. Mitchell Santner then used spinners mostly to create some pressure and they did exceedingly well. Lockie Ferguson though went off due to injury and Mitchell Santner had to rely on other bowlers. Glenn Phillips turned up as he did against India in the recently concluded Test match with the ball and helped his team defend a low total. This is the lowest total successfully defended by New Zealand in T20Is
