    A nervy start, but a strong finish for the victorious Black Caps in their T20 cricket series opener against Sri Lanka in Mount Maunganui


    Batting first - New Zealand lost five wickets inside 10 overs, before a 105-run stand between Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell propelled them to 173.

    Sri Lanka came up eight runs short after another Black Caps fightback with the ball.

    Captain Mitchell Santner's told TVNZ about their lack of top order runs.
