After rain knocked out over 23 overs of action in Dambulla on Wednesday, both sets of players, officials and supporters will be hoping for a full game of ODI cricket in Pallekele on Sunday.

And after a drawn T20I series, it would be great to see 50 overs per side in this second ODI which, if won by the tourists, will setup a decider in the third and final ODI.

Sri Lanka showed their experience of local conditions in the first match of the series with two batters making centuries and New Zealand will have to learn fast ahead of this game – easier said than done considering three of their XI on Wednesday were making their ODI debuts!

Sri Lanka Preview

Sri Lanka have built a strong group of batters and that was shown in the first match of the series when even with Pathum Nissanka contributing only 12 runs at the top of the order and Kamindu Mendis not even coming to the wicket at number seven, they were still able to post 324.5 from 49.2 overs.

Avishka Fernando made a century alongside keeper-batter Kusal Mendis who top scored with 143 and currently holds the honour of the leading run scorer in international cricket in 2024!

New Zealand Preview

Considering there were three ODI debutants in the New Zealand team in the opening game of the series in Dambulla, the Black Caps will turn up in Pallekele knowing that they have plenty of players who can perform to a higher level in this match.

Opening batters, Will Young and debutant Tim Robinson, impressed with a stand of 88 but there was precious little else from the experienced upper-middle order of Henry Nicholls, Mark Chapman and Glenn Phillips who will all be desperate to contribute more in this game.

Weather Conditions

According to the forecast, there could be some thunderstorms in and around the venue in the hours before the toss but currently it looks set to beΒ  dry throughout this ODI. The temperature is unlikely to drop below 23 degrees by the end of the match and will be as high as 31 degrees for the opening ten overs.

SL vs NZ Pitch Report

Pallekele is a wonderful venue to play international cricket but is one where the bowlers, particularly the pacers, have to work very hard for their wickets. It is usually a little easier for the spinners but overall it is a batter-friendly venue and we could well see team totals of 350+ in this game.

Toss: To Bowl

With each of the last four ODIs at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium won by the team batting second, we predict that both captains will go out for the toss wanting to bowl first in this game.
