New Zealand recorded their first win in the Champions Trophy here in Britain, narrowly edging Sri Lanka out by a wicket in a low scoring Group A encounter at the Sophia Gardens here Sunday.
New Zealand survived a hostile spell from sling-arm fast bowler Lasith Malinga to carve out a tense one-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the Champions Trophy on Sunday.
The Black Caps messed up a simple chase of Sri Lanka's 138 all out and were reduced to 122-8, before the last-wicket pair of Tim Southee and Mitchell McClenaghan saw them through in the 37th over.
