That's it for our live coverage of this tour. Stick around for Madushka Balasuriya's match report. And of course, join us for the IPL fun. Till then, take it easy.
Tom Latham: "They put us under a bit of pressure bowling first, and it was good to see the guys respond to that and keep them to a total that was a little below par. Seifert got the required rate down to seven in the last six or seven overs, which was really important. It was a little tight, but we got the result. When you're chasing you know the equation, and on a really good wicket it was really hard to defend. There's some big pockets out there so the twos come into play as well.
"It was really good to see new guys come in and perform. It shows the depth in New Zealand. It was nice to see Chad Bowes and Ben Lister going about their jobs."
Dasun Shanaka: "We were 10-15 runs short today. That was the main lack, on the batting side. New Zealand did really well in the series.
[On the decision to bowl Kumara in the last over]: "We need to make a decision whether I was bowling or Lahiru, but we decided to go with the main fast bowler."
"The main adjustment was the conditions. When we come here again we must make sure we come two or three weeks before."
Seifert is also player of the series, having hit 79 in Dunedin as well: "I didn't get off to the best start in the series, but that happens. In Dunedin Chad took a lot of pressure off me getting a fast start. My cricket's been going well, but importantly we are getting the wins. If I'm not keeping I do back myself to be in the team just as a batter. I'm not going to Pakistan (he's got a baby on the way), so the real work is about to start."
Tim Seifert, is Player of the Match: "We got ahead of the run rate, and sometimes you do go down the gears a bit. It's a balance. The over I got out was the one we were going to target to get 10 or 20 runs. And we saw later that it takes only a couple of wickets for the bowling side to get back into the game as well."
Zubair Islam : "SL scored only 3 runs in the last over.... that's where they lost the match ". It was a poor finish, but also the bowling wasn't particularly varied or impressive to Seifert early on. There was some poor fielding and a dropped catch as well.
All up, a poor tour for Sri Lanka. They were completely outclassed in the ODIs, made a big charge in one Test, but were beaten soundly in the other. The T20 series was their most competitive, with many of New Zealand's stars away at the IPL. And even there, they managed just the one win via the Super Over - their only victory in the six weeks they've been in New Zealand.
Shehan: "In that missed run out, there was a fielder behind the stumps in the bowler's end who was jumping up and down without backing up and breaking the stumps."
Phew! Another tight finish in a summer of tight finishes in New Zealand. There were the two Tests that came down to the last ball, and then the Super Over in the T20 in Auckland. This one didn't come down to the last one, but Sri Lanka fought back brilliantly in the last few overs to make a game of it.
A manic finish here, after New Zealand cruised for so much of it.
DJ Mitchell c Shanaka b Kumara 15 (34m 16b 0x4 0x6) SR: 93.75
JDS Neesham run out 0 (2m 0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -
New Zealand need just three to tie, four to win. Neesham on strike.
Sri Lanka, you'd expect, would need another wicket here to really make a game of this.
MS Chapman c Asalanka b Kumara 16 (22m 12b 1x4 1x6) SR: 133.33
Lahiru Kumara to bowl the last over. There was a big team meeting and he's ended up with the ball.

Only seven runs off that. Excellent little passage from Sri Lanka's bowlers.
Daniel: "Please god not another Super Over." Daniel presumably a NZ fan who knows his team's record in super overs.
New Zealand want a couple of boundaries here.
Jack: "Give Sri Lanka back the review - they clearly were questioning the wide!"
