Craig took three wickets after lunch, including two in two balls, to
help complete a remarkable turnaround for the hosts, who had looked
likely to lose the game inside three days at one point.
“That’s the beauty about this team, all the boys chip in and shows when we put it all together what we can do,” Craig told RadioSport of the team’s fightback from a seemingly impossible position on the third day.
“I think the way we played in Christchurch and followed up here was awesome, so two very good wins.”
Lahiru Thirimanne was left not out 62, while Nuwan Pradeep was bowled by Tim Southee for one as the visitors were dismissed for 196.
Sri Lanka had resumed on 110 for five after lunch but had given up any pretence of chasing the 390 runs they needed to win the game and level the series with survival uppermost on their minds.
