New Zealand came up with a ruthless display in the 2nd ODI at Christchurch against Sri Lanka, romping home with 10 wickets and 41.4 overs in hand, the sixth quickest chase in ODI history, to take a significant upper hand in the 5-match ODI series being played.

That meant that Aziz could not come here for his date with Doval in August and leave India without meeting Hurriyat leaders. He stated the development in relations between the 2 nations was vital to regional peace, stability and improvement.
The New Zealand innings could have got off to a shaky start when, from the first ball, Guptill despatched a short one from Chameera towards leg gully.

The Lions will have to devote million of their salary cap next season to retain Johnson unless they restructure his contract. Harris, who said he’s 5-foot-7 despite being listed as 5-8 on the 49ers’ roster, said his lack of height gives him an edge.
Guptill was made aware that de Villiers’ half century record was achievable when he reached 42 from 11 balls.

Wellington, Dec.27: New Zealand opener Martin Guptill has admitted that he has gained a lot more confidence after producing a rich vein of form in the ODI format this year.
“People have been dejected and so forth, we have tried to assess those and we’ve been trying to motivate to guys to keep them going on”, said Jayaratne, albeit with a sense of resignation.
Guptill was partnered by Tom Latham, who made 17 not out, as a back injury prevented captain McCullum from opening the batting. Guptill reached 46 off 12 balls, but two yorkers from Nuwan Kulasekara, who was earlier taken for 14 runs in one over, denied the batsman the chance to record the fastest fifty.
The hosts have taken a 1-0 lead in the series with a seven-wicket victory in the first match that was also played at the same venue.
Instead of getting better they went backwards, being dismissed for 117 in 27.4 overs. “We just need to bowl in the right areas more often”. Brendon McCullum had held the earlier record of 18 balls which he achieved in the 2015 World Cup clash against England in February 2015.
With the ICC World Twenty20 just few months away, the Auckland-born cricketer has already sent a warning for bowlers ahead of the prestigious tournament. “The way we played is not the way we really planned to operate”, Jayaratne said.
An obstinate Milinda Siriwardana and Nuwan Kulasekara partnership saved Sri Lanka from complete disaster after Matt Henry destroyed their top order in the opening one-day global against New Zealand on Saturday. All-rounder Kulasekara top-scored with 19.
If fifth-ranked Sri Lanka wins the series by the same margin, then it will swap places with New Zealand.
“We have two outstanding bowlers in Trent Boult and Tim Southee, who are vastly experienced and have been the kingpins for us for a long time”, he said.
