SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis
We are in the first match of the three-match ODI series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The two teams shared the honors in the T20 series, with New Zealand making a strong comeback in the second game after losing the first. The Kiwis have enjoyed a good tour of the subcontinent and shall look to build on the momentum as the Sri Lankans look to hold the fort strong.
Sri Lanka is enjoying an excellent run at home. The team has lost only once in the last 10 games and has been a tough side to beat. They have a strong spin attack, which has troubled batters in these conditions. New Zealand doesnβt have a good record in Sri Lanka, and it remains to be seen if they can do things differently this time.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Sri Lanka Preview
Charith Asalanka and his team have seen New Zealandβs strengths in the last T20. They will be up for a good fight in this game. The side defeated West Indies in the last ODI series at home, and the players will take inspiration from that. Asalanka expects a strong show from his players to take a lead in the series.
New Zealand Preview
Mitchell Santner will be proud of his team’s comeback in the last game. They started the T20 series with a loss but finished on a high. The team is missing some of its key players in this series, who are out with injury. Santner will look to lead from the front in this game and help his team to an early lead.
Weather Conditions
Dambulla will have overcast skies. The wicket is slow, which will likely make life tough for the batters as they will have to play well against balls that stop on them. Spinners would like bowling on this surface. The average first innings score is 212 runs, and the side batting first needs 300 on the board.
SL vs NZ Pitch Report
Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, is a tough wicket for the batters as the ball doesnβt come onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers donβt see any assistance from the surface, and they must rely on their skills alone. It has been a good hunting ground for the spinners in the past.
