A crushing victory for the hosts and New Zealand go 1-0 up in the 5-match ODI series. The second ODI will be played at the same venue on Monday. Will Sri Lanka turn up for that encounter? Join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..

Matt Henry is the MoM for his superb figures of 4/49

A crushing victory for New Zealand. Brendon McCullum was off to a flier, he was well supported by Martin Guptill. The Sri Lankan bowlers didn't know what hit them. McCullum registered his fifty in 23 balls, Guptill was just slightly slower and New Zealand got their team 100 in the 9th over. Both fell but the task had been completed by then. Nicholls helped himself to useful runs as the hosts' chased down the target - with 174 balls to spare. They are now 1-0 up in the 5-match series with the second match to be played at the same venue on Monday.
