A great innings from Doug Bracewell and debutant Scott Kuggeleijn have helped New Zealand recover from a poor start to win their one-off T20 match against Sri Lanka.

Radio New Zealand reports that the Black Caps won by 35-run, breaking a six-game losing streak in the shortest format.

The result ensured a winless tour for Sri Lanka, with the hosts winning the two-test series and securing a 3-0 clean-sweep in the one-day internationals.
