Sri Lanka won the two-Test home series against New Zealand by a 2-0 margin. Here are the marks out of 10 for cricketers of both sides.
Sri Lanka
Dhananjaya de Silva: 7/10
2 Tests | 95 runs at 31.67, HS: 44 | 4 wickets at 22.75, BBI: 2-31 | C: 6
Not many runs for de Silva, but all four of his wickets were top-order batters, and he held six catches. He also took a bold call by leaving Ramesh Mendis out of the second Test.
Kamindu Mendis: 9.5/10
2 Tests | 309 runs at 154.50, HS: 182*, 100s: 1
Promoted to No.5, the Sri Lankan run-machine went through his usual routine of amassing runs and keeping the statisticians busy. These are still early days, but we might be witnessing a legendary career taking flight.
