The Black Caps only needed 10 overs to surpass the tourists' total of 142 for eight.
Martin Guptil top scored for New Zealand with 63 runs off 25 balls, before Colin Munro hit the third fastest T20i half-century in history off just 14 deliveries.
Munro's 50 featured seven sixes and eclipsed the record for the fastest T20i half-century by a New Zealander set only minutes earlier by Guptil off 19 balls.

Grant Elliott was the best of the Black Caps' bowlers taking four wickets for 22 runs.

The defeat means Sri Lanka loses its world number one ranking in T20i cricket.
The match completed Sri Lanka's tour of New Zealand in which the hosts won both Test matches, three of four one-day internationals (one match was abandoned due to rain) and two T20s.
New Zealand next play Pakistan on Friday in the first of three T20 internationals.
