Rangana Herath is the Man of the Series

Ross Talor is the Man of the Match

Ross Taylor : It is always good to come overseas and win a match. The way we prepared for this Test after losing the first match at Galle was great. Boult and Southee have led the way for us. We were determined to put runs on the board. Kane Williamson helped me put up a good stand. We did well in the field and held to all the catches that were presented to us. We will go home and rest for a few days, we are looking forward to the series against South Africa.

Mahela Jayawardene: Credit to the Kiwis, they stuck to their task. We tried to fight our way back, but it was tough. It would have been great to have a third Test. We played good cricket right through the series and are looking forward to the Australia series. Getting runs in the first innings is always important, they put up the score on the board and their new ball bowlers asked us many questions. We need to work on facing the new ball, we have lost too many wickets out there and ended up putting pressure on ourselves.
New Zealand beat Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka after 14 years.They won the match by big margin of 167 runs and level the 2 match series with 1-1.Full credit goes to New Zealand fast bowlers, they bowled really well in both the innings.
