Cricket World Cup: New Zealand thrash Sri Lanka by 10 wickets
Cardiff, Jun 1 (IBNS): With an all-round performance, New Zealand earned a comprehensive victory against Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the Cricket World Cup 2019 at Sophia Gardens here on Saturday.
Batting first, Sri Lanka were bowled out for just 136.

Apart from him, the remaining of the Sri Lankan batting lineup failed to shine.
