Kane Williamson added to an already glittering resume as he led New Zealand to five-wicket victory in Hamilton on Monday to wrap up the two-Test series against Sri lanka.
The New Zealand batting maestro completed his 13th Test century, and fifth of the year, as the Black Caps knocked off the 47 runs required for victory on day four of the second Test. The honour of completing the formalities went to BJ Watling with a single to get New Zealand to their 189 target but the result belonged to the 25-year-old Williamson.
He reached a number of milestones in his 108 not out as New Zealand followed up their 122-run triumph in the first Test in Dunedin. Williamson was in no mood to hang around when he resumed the day on 78, taking a four off the second delivery from Chameera.
New Zealand's chances of winning the match appeared remote as they neared lunch on third day with Sri lanka adding 71 to their first innings 55-runs lead. But in bizarre session of cricket, they crumbled in face of New Zealand's short-pitched barrage to be all out for 133, with their 10 wickets evaporating for 62.
