Watch Live Cricket Middle-order Ross Taylor and all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme delivered splendid batting performances to help New Zealand register a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the first T20I of series in Pallekele on Sunday. The day started with Sri Lanka Captain Lasith Malinga winning the toss and opting to bat first in right batting conditions. His decision proved to be a correct one as Kusal Mendis, and Kusal Perera put on a 41-run partnership to get the side off to a good start. New Zealand made a comeback and picked up Kusal Perera and Avishka Fernando in quick succession.
