Sri Lanka stormed to a series victory over New Zealand, securing the two-match Test series with a resounding innings and 154-run triumph on the fourth day. This victory, Sri Lanka’s most dominant over the Kiwis, also marks their first win against New Zealand in 15 years. The hero of the games, left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya, was named Player of the Series after a masterful performance, claiming 18 wickets across the two matches.

Meanwhile, Kamindu Mendis took home the Man of the Match honour for his unbeaten 182, anchoring Sri Lanka’s colossal total of 602/5 declared. With this knock, Mendis etched his name in history, joining the great Sir Don Bradman as the third joint-fastest player to reach 1,000 Test runs.
