Mitchell out for 3 as NZ collapse

February 25, 2026

New Zealand 98-6 (16 ovs) vs Sri Lanka | SCORECARD

The New Zealand innings is going nowhere as the Sri Lanka spinners continue to dry up the runs.

Wellalage starts his final over with three dots in a row to McConchie before he takes one and Santner also manages just a single off the last ball.

Wellalage finishes with tidy figures of 1/27 in four overs. He went for 15 runs in his first over bowled in the Powerplay and went for eight in his second. But he bounced back in his last spell, taking one wicket for four runs in his last two overs.

McConchie breaks the shackles as he sweeps Asalanka for a four through square leg -- the first boundary after a long wait of 33 balls.
