Yesterday, New Zealand displayed a brilliant dominating performance in every field of the game as they beat Sri Lanka by a comfortable margin. They cleverly exploited all the Lankan weaknesses and continued their climb ahead in the ICC T20 World Cup tournament. 

Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson came forward with how the team, as a unit, decimated Lankan hopes, what variations were used and how the pitch performed. 

Williamson reveals strategy 

"Interesting match, the wicket was different as the surface had some tennis ball bounce so slower balls, and cutters were very effective. The length ball was the most difficult to hit, so we stuck to that and the cutters."

The skipper also praised Glenn Phillips brilliant hundred 

"Incredible, any hundred is amazing but the way he worked hard and put pressure on the opposition after our poor start. We were being aggressive but keeping it simple in the powerplay."

New Zealand is comfortable at the top of the points table in Group 1 of the Super 12 stage of the tournament. They have five points from three games. And no losses in the games so far. The BlackCaps are all set to face England on the 1st of November at Gabba, Brisbane.
