MOUNT MAUNGANUI: Sri Lanka again fell short in a tough run chase as New Zealand won the second T20 International by 45 runs Monday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
The tourists were edged by eight runs chasing 172/8 in the first match two days ago and again faltered late while chasing New Zealand's 186/5 on Monday. Sri Lanka were all out for 141 in 19.1 overs.
"It's really important to finish the game, no matter how it started," Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka said. "The way you finish is the most important thing. In the first game we were almost there to win and again we're disappointed."
