NZ Vs SL 2n Test @ Hamilton Day Four Monday Dec 21,2015
Kane Williamson stroked his fifth century in 2015 and his 13th overall as New Zealand completed a 2-0 sweep over Sri Lanka in Hamilton on Monday Dec 21,2015
Kane Williamson ended 108 not out after resuming at 78 as New Zealand progressed from 142-5 overnight to reach its winning target of 189 after only 55 minute play on the fourth morning of a match which saw dramatic changes of fortune.
Kane Williamson had the composure to lead New Zealand home Monday when a further loss of wicket might have made its task an anxious one. His century, which came in 227 minutes from 152 balls was the 13th of his career and the fifth in a calendar year in which he score 1,172 runs in test — a record for a New Zealander.
Both teams seemed to squander winning positions before New Zealand finally edged to brink of victory by the end of the third day Sunday on which 16 wickets fell.Sri Lanka, which led by 55 runs on the first innings after losing an influential toss, had made its way to 71-0 in its second innings to take command of the match when it suffered a catastrophic collapse, losing all 10 wickets for 62 runs to be out for 133
That left New Zealand needing only 189 to win but the home side's batsmen showed the same recklessness as Sri Lanka's and it stumbled to 142-5, having lost almost all of its top order, before Kane Williamson asserted himself and took control at close of play on Day Three Sunday Dec 20,2015
