"Dilshan has matured as a cricketer and taken on a lot of responsibility and his two knocks helped us gain the advantage," said Sangakkara.
"I would not call this an easy win, but if New Zealand had showed the character that Vettori did -- and they had a few partnerships going -- this game could have been stretched a bit.
"I am glad the way we are going.
It is important to win, but more important to win consistently and I think we have been able to achieve that in the last few years."
