An overriding pattern is beginning to emerge between New Zealand and Sri Lanka over the past month.

The Kiwis take a number of matches in a row, leaving everyone wondering what's wrong with Sri Lanka. The Lions will then rebound with a win to keep the Black Caps honest, but the latter then immediately reasserts control thereafter.

After a loss in the second ODI, New Zealand came back strong in the fourth (the third was rained out), defeating the Lions by four wickets, with 11 balls remaining.

Action now shifts to Dunedin for the fifth match.
