New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: GONE! Dhananjaya goes!
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Wonderful low catch from Mitchell, another wicket for Santner and another nail in Sri Lanka's coffin. This has gone so horribly wrong for them. This delivery is outside off after the previous two were in line with the stumps, Dhananjaya lured into it, but the extra lift surprised him. He ends up somewhere between playing he shot and pulling out of it, outside edge and Mitchell takes.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Third ball of the 10th from Ferguson, Perera gets under it and sends it high into those dark clouds. Both Williamson and Santner positioned themselves underneath it, the former just about pulled out on time, the latter just about realised that his captain had pulled out on time, and completes the catch. The two share a hug in relief after that. Sri Lanka are falling apart.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: GONE! Boult strikes again!
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: It is not Perera but it is a fourth wicket within the first 10 overs which is always good news. It is also a fantastic review. Confident appeal for LBW second ball of the ninth, umpire turns it down. Boult tells Williamson that the two noises are coming from the ball hitting both the pads and so the New Zealand captain takes the review. Sure enough, there is no bat and it is three reds. Boult is in the business today.
