Henry Shipley tore through Sri Lanka's batting line-up as New Zealand romped to a 198-run win in the first ODI here on Saturday.
Playing just his fourth match for the Black Caps, tall seamer Shipley took 5-31 as the tourists were skittled for 76 at Eden Park, their lowest ODI score against New Zealand and their fifth-lowest ever.

Sri Lanka's capitulation in 19.5 overs made it their second shortest innings. The visitors never recovered after slumping to 31-5, with only three batters reaching double figures, including top scorer Angelo Mathews (18). It comes just two months after Sri Lanka's world-record 317-run loss to India in Thiruvananthapuram - when they were out for 73.
