With the ODI World Cup done, Sri Lanka has to focus on the next big prize: the T20 world cup scheduled for the end of 2020. To prepare for that, Sri Lanka faced World Cup runners up New Zealand in a short T20 series on home ground, which they lost 2-1. The highlight of the last match victory for Sri Lanka was the 4 of 4 from current cricket star Lasith Malinga.
