New Zealand suffers heavy defeat to Sri Lanka in third ODI at Eden Park

New Zealand's cricket team, the Black Caps, lost to Sri Lanka by 140 runs in the third ODI at Eden Park. Sri Lanka scored 290-8, while New Zealand struggled, with four key players scoring only three runs combined. This defeat contrasts sharply with New Zealand's earlier success in the series. The Black Caps had already secured the series win before this match, which was seen as a dead rubber. Despite the loss, New Zealand has two more matches scheduled against Pakistan and South Africa next month. These games will serve as preparation for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
