Matheesha Pathirana to Mitchell Hay
2:22 PMWicket! Caught By Kusal Mendis. No Run. Edged and gone!!! Was a back of length ball outside off, looks to punch it away but gets a faint outside edge due to slight extra bounce and Mendis takes a simple catch behind the stumps, half the side now back in pavilion for New Zealand and they are in trouble here as Hay departs for a duck on his T20I debut
