Kamindu Mendis stood out as the lone warrior with a determined 64, but his valiant effort couldn't avert defeat. New Zealand's bowlers delivered a splendid collective performance. Will O'Rourke led the charge with three crucial wickets, ably supported by Jacob Duffy, who picked up two. Rachin Ravindra is the Player of the Match for his outstanding performance.
