Henry Shipley tore by Sri Lanka’s batting line-up as New Zealand romped to a 198-run win within the first one-day worldwide in Auckland on Saturday. Playing simply his fourth match for the Black Caps, tall seamer Shipley took 5-31 because the vacationers had been skittled for 76 at Eden Park, their lowest ODI rating towards New Zealand and their fifth-lowest ever. Sri Lanka’s capitulation in 19.5 overs made it their second shortest innings. The guests by no means recovered after slumping to 31-5, with solely three batters reaching double figures, together with prime scorer Angelo Mathews (18).

It comes simply two months after Sri Lanka’s world-record 317-run loss to India in Thiruvananthapuram — once they had been out for 73.

Captain Dasun Shanaka recognized some evident shortcomings that will must be improved on for recreation two in Christchurch on Tuesday.

“Especially with the bat, we need to tighten up the techniques,” Shanaka stated.

“The way Shipley bowled, the movement he got and the bounce, I think all sorts of things happened tonight.

“Credit must be given to Shipley, it is excellent bowling.”

Sri Lanka’s batters succumbed to a series of loose shots, allowing Shipley to claim New Zealand’s first five-wicket bag in the format for more than four years.

The 26-year-old worried his opponents with steep bounce and pace throughout his seven overs, beating the bat routinely and prompting a series of shots to be lofted aimlessly to waiting fielders.

Daryl Mitchell took 2-12 and Matt Henry 2-20 in an innings that lasted lower than two hours.

New Zealand captain Tom Latham said he was unsure if their score of 274 all out would be enough at the small Eden Park venue where international teams regularly surpass 300.

However, he noted the pitch was less friendly than usual.

“We knew it was a tough wicket, it was holding somewhat bit and the fellows bowled fantastically nicely,” Latham said.

“I believed we managed to scrap to 270. To put a rating on the board, we knew it could be difficult.

“The guys then came out and set the tone with the ball.”

Chamika Karunaratne took career-best figures of 4-43 off 9 overs as New Zealand’s batsmen largely fell to pictures that ballooned into the outfield.

Opener Finn Allen top-scored with 51 however he was considered one of a number of Black Caps responsible of not pushing on after making a begin.

Allen’s 49-ball knock helped the hosts into a robust place with almost half of their overs remaining. But they misplaced their means over the latter levels and had been dismissed with three balls remaining.

All-rounder Rachin Ravindra departed late within the innings for 49 on his ODI debut whereas Mitchell scored 47 and Glenn Phillips 39.

Seamers Kasun Rajitha and Lahiru Kumara, who each performed in Sri Lanka’s 2-0 Test sequence loss to New Zealand, took two wickets every.

The vacationers wanted a clear sweep of the three-match sequence to take an computerized World Cup berth.

With that now not a chance, they’re more and more prone to be pressured to play in a qualifying match in June-July.
