COLOMBO, Sri Lanka – Sri Lanka beat New Zealand by three wickets with nine overs to spare in the One-Day International tri-series at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium yesterday.

Seamer Kyle Mills took four for 41 as New Zealand threatened a shock victory.
But Upul Thuranga (70) and Kumar Sangakkara (48) combined to guide Sri Lanka to 195-7 in the 41st over.
