Kusal Perera scored Sri Lanka’s fastest Twenty20 international century — from 44 balls — to spur his team to a consolation win over New Zealand by seven runs in the the final match of the three-match series.

SIX! AWAY SHE GOES FOR SIX! Good length on middle and leg, Kusal Perera clears his front leg, opens up the off side but the ball was bowled closer to the pads and he flicks this right off the middle of his bat and into the stands towards deep mid-wicket for six.

Top order batsman Kusal Perera smashed 101 off 46 balls to set up Sri Lanka's consolation seven-run victory in the final T20 International against New Zealand, who won the three-match series 2-1 in Nelson on Thursday.
