T20 Live Score (SL vs NZ) Sri Lanka vs New Zealand T20

Mahela Jaywardene's breezy 81 went in vain as New Zealand made a winning start to their World Twenty20 campaign, beating Sri Lanka by two wickets in the thrilling inaugural match of the tournament on Friday.

Sri Lanka rode on Jayawardene's career-best Twenty20 score, that came off just 51 balls, to post 135 for six. But Jesse Ryder's 27-ball 42 at the top and Nathan McCullum's (16 off 6) last over heroics sealed the match in favour of New Zealand in 19.5 overs.

With the equation out of their favour after losing all their top-order batsmen, the younger McCullum came up with a four and a six off Lasith Malinga in the final over to finish off the Kiwi run chase in style.
