NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the 3rd ODI of the 3-match ODI leg of Sri Lanka tour of New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland on 11th January 2025 at 6:30 am IST. Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three T20Is and three ODIs. New Zealand won the T20I series 2-1, and now they have a series-winning lead of 2-0 against Sri Lanka with one match to go. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand are proving to be a great ODI team especially in home conditions. They have played 16 ODIs in last five years at home and have lost only one. They have a particularly good record against Sri Lanka in the last two years where the stats are in favor of New Zealand 5-2 with one no-result. After winning the T20I series 2-1, New Zealand have won both the ODIs in the 3-match ODI series to get an unassailable lead of 2-0 against Sri Lanka. In the first ODI, New Zealand registered a huge win by 9 wickets against Sri Lanka. Winning the toss and bowling first, they restricted Sri Lanka to 178 runs in the 44th over. Matt Henry took 4 wickets for just 19 runs. Nathan Smith and Jacob Duffy shined with 2 wickets each. New Zealand completed the chase for the loss of just one wicket. Rachin Ravindra scored 4-5 while Will Young top-scored with 90 runs. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka have had a disastrous tour of New Zealand so far. They were here to play three T20 internationals and three ODIs. Having lost the three-match T20I series 1-2 to New Zealand, they have lost the ODI series as well with a match to go after losing the second ODI as well at Hamilton. In the first ODI, they managed just 178 all-out against New Zealand’s balling attack. Avishka Fernando and Janith Liyange scored valuable runs as the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under the pressure. It was an easy win for New Zealand by 9 wickets.  In the second ODI, Sri Lanka elected to field first in a range-shortened game – 37 overs aside. By the time New Zealand’s second wicket fell at 143, they had scored at 7 runs and over against Sri Lankan attack. Mahesh Theekshana did pull things back with some lower order wickets. He ended up getting 4 wickets for 44 runs in 8 overs. Wanindu Hasaranga took 2 wickets for 39 runs in 8 overs.  Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Eden Park, Auckland is expected to be pleasant and sunny. The temperature would range between 22 Β°C and 17 Β°C. There may be some rain in the day, but that should not abandon the game. NZ vs SL Pitch Report It is one of the most iconic cricket venues in New Zealand. Established in 1900, this venue hosted a Test Match in 1930. Since then, it has hosted many Tests, ODIs, and T20 International. Hidden Park is popular for its unique dimensions where it has very short straight boundaries.

Toss: To Bowl In the 74 ODIs at this venue that ended in outright result, about 60% have been won by the team’s bowling first, whereas the rest have been won by the team’s batting first. This is typically a New Zealand venue where there is early assistance for the bowlers. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.

NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI in Sri Lanka tour of New Zealand at Seddon Park, Hamilton on 8th January 2024 at 6:30 am IST. Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs. The T20I series ended in favor of New Zealand as they won the series 2-1.  TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview When it comes to ODIs, New Zealand are enjoying a great run at home. In the last 5 years, New Zealand played 15 games at home and won 12. They lost 1 game and 2 games ended in no result. Against Sri Lanka also, they have a good record of winning 4 out of their last 7 head-to-head games (1 no -result) New Zealand started the 3-match ODI series with a big win by 9 wickets against Sri Lanka. In the first ODI, New Zealand bowled first after winning the toss.

Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three T20Is and three ODIs. They have already lost the T20 series 1-2 in favor of New Zealand. In the first ODI as well, Sri Lanka looked clueless against a top-notch New Zealand bowling attack, losing the batch by 9 wickets with about 23 overs remaining. It will be interesting to see if they can come back in this second ODI. The first ODI started with Sri Lanka batted first after losing the toss. Sri Lanka started cautiously, however, lost 4 quick wickets by the 10th over, scoring just 23 runs. Avishka Fernando and Janith Liyange forced a partnership to take them to 110. Chamindu Vikramasinghe and Wanindu Hasaranga added some runs down the order, but Sri Lanka could manage just 178 all out in the 44th over. Avishka Fernando was the top scorer with 56 runs. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Seddon Park, Hamilton is expected to be mostly cloudy and breezy. The temperature will range between a high of 25Β°C and a low of 12Β°C. The cloudy and breezy conditions should help the team bowling first. There is absolutely no chance of rain. These are perfect conditions for a cricket match.

NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the  3rd T20I of the 3-match series at Saxton Oval, Nelson on 2nd January 2024 at 5:45 am IST. Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three ODIs and three T20 internationals. The tour has begun with a series of T20Is and will be followed by 3 ODIs. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand have had a mixed year 2024 winning 11 of the 21 international T20 games. Having said that, they have done pretty well against Sri Lanka, winning 4 of their last 5 head-to-head games. They have already won 2 games in this 3-match series. In the first T20I against Sri Lanka, New Zealand pulled off an amazing win by 8 runs. Batting first New Zealand scored 172 for 8 thanks to the rearguard efforts from Daryl Mitchell (62 off 42 balls) and Michael Bracewell (59 off 33 balls). The duo was involved in a 105-run partnership after New Zealand were 65 runs for five wickets in the 10th over. The defense did not start well as they allowed Sri Lanka to cruise to 121 in the 13th over. However, Jacob Duffy took 3 wickets in the 14th over to gain the momentum back for New Zealand. New did not allow the Lankans to get back in the game. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka have done pretty much same as New Zealand in the year 2024. They have played 22 games, winning 10 out of them. But they do particularly badly against New Zealand with just 1 win in the last 5 head-to-head games. Sri Lanka had a great chance of winning the first T20 international against New Zealand. After restricting New Zealand to 172 for 8, Sri Lanka started the chase excellently well, with their openers, Pathum Nissanka and Kushal Mendis, scoring above 120 runs without loss in the 13th over. But as soon as they lost the first wicket on 121, they lost a couple more on the same score. The rest of the batting just could not stand up against New Zealand bowlers. None of the next seven batters managed to score in double digits as Sri Lanka lost by 8 runs. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Saxton Oval, Nelson is expected to be a bit of cloudy as well as sunny throughout the day. The temperature will range between a high of 22Β°C and a low of around 12Β°C. There is a possibility of a morning shower but that should not affect the game much. NZ vs SL Pitch Report The venue of the match is Saxton Oval, Nelson. Established in 2009, it was developed by Nelson Cricket Association in New Zealand. The venue has officiated two T20 internationals and 12 ODIs so far along with a few domestic matches. The venue has a seating capacity of around 6,000 spectators. Toss: To Bat Only two international T20 games have been played at this venue before this game. Both the matches have been won by the team batting first. The trend in this series so far has been similar, with New Zealand winning both games batting first. The team winning the toss should bat first here.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β New Zealand vs Sri Lanka𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 28 ,Saturdayβ€‹β€‹π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 11:45 PM IST​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, New Zealandπ“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ :​​ 1st T20 2024 Batting challenge for Sri Lanka in New Zealand  New Zealand vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis It is the first game of the three-match T20i series, and both teams shall look for an early lead. New Zealand had drawn the last T20 series against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka and is playing at home; the side will count on its chances. The Sri Lankans haven’t done well outside the subcontinent in recent years, and this will be a big test for the team in this game.  Sri Lanka has a poor record playing in New Zealand. They have won only once in the eight T20 games against the hosts. The side doesn’t have a strong bowling attack for these conditions. New Zealand has a strong fast bowling unit and shall look to leverage it. The history is against the Sri Lankans, and it will be interesting to see if they can turn it around on this tour. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner and his team will start confidently in this game. They have done well at home and have the bowling attack to trouble the Sri Lankans in these conditions. However, Santner will know his opponents’ abilities to deliver a strong counterpunch and expect a strong show from his players.  Tim Robinson and Mark Chapman will look to deliver a good start and put the team in a commanding position. The middle order is strong for the team, and they expect a good show in this game from Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, and Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell Santner, Zakary Foulkes, and Mitchell Hay strengthen this batting lineup with their hitting abilities.  The bowlers will enjoy bowling in these conditions, and the team expects Jacob Duffy and Matt Henry to rock the Sri Lankan top order. Mitchell Santner will look to use his experience and do well in the middle overs with Zakary Foulkes. Ravindra and Glenn Phillips add variety to this attack, making it strong. Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka’s team will face a massive challenge in this game. They have struggled in these conditions, and their batting lineup has a history of struggling on fast and bouncy tracks. Asalanka would like his batsmen to take the challenge head-on and do well in this game to take an early lead.  Pathum Nissanka has enjoyed good form in recent matches, and he must deliver a good start with Kusal Mendis and handle the Kiwi fast bowling attack. Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, and Charitha Asalanka make a rock solid. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Wanindu Hasaranga are good hitters, and the team expects runs from them in the lower middle order.  The bowling attack must use the conditions well for the team to win. Matheesha Pathirana and Nuwan Thushara must get early breakthroughs, as New Zealand has a strong batting lineup. Asitha Fernando and Wanindu Hasaranga will look to keep an eye on the scoring rate in the middle overs. Maheesh Theekshana and Kamindu Mendis must do well in the supporting role. Weather Conditions The skies over Mount Maunganui will have some clouds on December 28. The wicket would be challenging to bat, where the ball will bounce and move. The side that bats first in the game should be happy to score 180 runs or more, with the average first-innings score being 152 runs. NZ vs SL Pitch Report Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, is a happy hunting ground for fast bowlers. They get the ball to seam and swing on this surface. However, the smaller dimensions of the venue also allow batsmen to play their strokes easily. Grass on the track makes it a very challenging place for the spinners to bowl. Toss: To Bowl The conditions will be good for bowling when the ball moves around at the start of the game. We have seen batting getting easier as the game goes on. Hence, the side winning the toss in this game shouldn’t hesitate to bowl first.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RSA vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis The second and final Test of the two-match Test series between South Africa and Sri Lanka is about to commence on December 5 at St George’s Park in Gqebera. South Africa have taken an early 1-0 lead and have in the process, bolstered their chances of making it to their maiden WTC final by crushing the visitors by 233 runs in the Durban Test.  History was made on that day as South Africa were able to overcome their jinx and register their maiden Test win against Sri Lanka in Durban. While both teams are still in contention for a spot in the WTC final, South Africa appear as strong favorites following their monumental win in the first Test.   Head-to-Head Record: South Africa and Sri Lanka share a long yet rich history in Test cricket. In their 31-year-long Test history, South Africa have emerged victorious in 17 out of 32 Tests with Sri Lanka managing to win 9 of them. But in South Africa, the tourists have only managed to win on three occasions since 1998. Furthermore, in their last five Test fixtures, South Africa managed to have the upper hand as well winning 3 out of the last 5 Tests. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South African camp would be brewing in confidence after their famous win in Durban. Not only were they able to bury the ghosts of the 2019 Test defeat (which saw them lose the series), but the hosts have now made a statement with that win making them a force to reckon with in the WTC points table. Marco Jansen was simply unplayable in that match and delivered his career-best Test figures of 7/13 & 4/73 to power SA to a crushing win.  However, the team has been rocked by injury updates as Coetzee and Mulder have both been ruled out for the rest of the summer. Experts estimate that the teenager Kwena Maphaka may get a go in their absence while the management would also be considering either getting Dane Paterson or Senuran Muthusamy to fill the second vacant spot. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka walked into the series with a lot of promise but their poor show with the bat in the first innings has raised questions about their overall resilience as a unit. The Lankan seamers featuring Kumara and the two Fernandos were breathing fire and caused a lot of headaches to the Proteas batters with the new ball.  But when it was their turn to bat, Sri Lanka folded for their lowest-ever Test score of 42-10 with only two batters managing to get to double figures. From that moment, Sri Lanka were playing the catch-up game as SA batted effortlessly in the second innings and mounted a target of 516 which proved way beyond the reach of the visitors. Following their humiliating defeat, Sri Lanka would be forced to make some changes to their lineup. Sadeera Samarawickrama, being a technically astute batter has been a consistent performer for Sri Lanka across all three formats and he could be given a green signal.  Weather Conditions We expect partially cloudy weather on all five days of the Test match with little to no rain threat. Temperatures throughout all five days are expected to be at a modest high of 27C but can drop to as low as 19C when the evening approaches. Overall, the weather is going to be warm with wind speed expected to be in the range of 20-35 km/hr.   RSA vs SL Pitch Report The lively deck at St George’s Park offers prodigious assistance to the fast bowlers in the form of sharp pace and bounce. Moreover, the ball also has a tendency to nip around off the seam when the ball is new. As the Test match starts progressing to the latter stages, the natural deterioration starts taking effect as the cracks get longer making batting in the fourth innings a very daunting affair. From a batter’s standpoint, the ball will move around quite a bit both in the air and off the pitch and there will be no easy runs on offer for the most part of the Test. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have a slight edge. Whilst the average first innings score batting first amounts to a healthy 312, the score drops all the way down to 156 in the fourth innings. This highlights the extraordinary difficulty of batting last and keeping this factor in mind, teams should look to bat first and refrain from the possibility of chasing. In the 32 Test matches played at this venue the team batting first won 14 matches, while the team batting second won 13 matches.

RSA vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa are heading into the test match against Sri Lanka for the first test meeting between the two teams since 2021. The Proteas have a significant advantage over Sri Lanka when it comes to taste meetings. In the 31 meetings between the two teams, South Africa have picked up 16 victories compared to just nine wins for Sri Lanka while the remaining six games have not produced a result. Amidst such a one-sided nature of the contest, South Africa are unlikely to be complacent with both teams heading on the back of recent test success. The game is part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 and it will provide South Africa with a much-needed push into the WTC finals. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka occupies third place in the WTC table with five victories and four defeats. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa are big favourites coming into the game. The home team were able to get a series victory over Bangladesh. The team appeared to be in a very confident mood with a string of positive performances in both matches. A number of players are in excellent form with Aiden Markram particularly taking the limelight with his consistent showing in 2024. The top-order batsman continues to have a definite edge in the test innings with 2500 runs picked up at an average of 35. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka are heading into this new series on the back of a success over New Zealand in the recent test. There were plenty of areas where Sri Lanka need to improve with the top of the batting order being one among them. After having previously struggled against South Africa, Sri Lanka have every reason to be fearful ahead of this game. The home team will be keen to make the most of the favourable conditions for bowlers – especially pacers. The fall of an early wicket may lead to a collapse from Sri Lanka in such difficult circumstances. Weather Conditions The pitch is expected to be in favour of bowlers with a lot of bounce. The village first-innings score Durbin is expected to witness partly cloudy conditions. The maximum temperature is not expected to exceed 27Β°C while not falling below 21Β°C during the day. RSA vs SL Pitch Report South Africa have a 33% win record when it comes to games at the Kingsmead in Durban. They have been able to get 15 victories from the 45 test matches on this ground with 16 of them ending in a defeat. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have never lost a test on this ground after winning two of their three matches. Toss: To Bowl The surface at Kingsmead is generally known to favour a lot of bounce and pace. It beat South Africa on this ground back in 2019 when the two teams met for a test match. This would be especially pronounced in the early innings. As a result, it would be a lot easier to bat later in the game. The toss winner is likely to choose to bowl first.

SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the third and final game of the ODI series and hosts Sri Lank have already won convincingly. In the rain-affected 2nd ODI, the Sri Lankans held their nerves to win the game by 3 wickets. They will aim for a clean sweep and ride on the momentum. The young New Zealand team has struggled on this tour, and they would like to avoid a series of whitewashes and end their Asian tour on a high note.  Sri Lanka has dominated teams at home in the last few series. They have lost only once in the last seven games, boosting the team’s confidence. In contrast, New Zealand has always struggled in Sri Lanka. The batting lineup lacks experience in these conditions. It remains to be seen if the side can put up a strong show in this game and avoid a series whitewash. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka will be pleased with how his team has gone about this series. They were favorites to win in home conditions and take full advantage of the dusty tracks. The bowling attack has done well for the side, but Asalanka expects a better show from his batsmen as they have struggled against New Zealand’s bowlers.  New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner’s team came to Sri Lanka with high confidence after the historic series win in India. However, it has been a massive wake-up call for the team that fielded several young players in this series. The Kiwis will fight for their pride with the series already in Sri Lanka’s bag. Their batsmen have struggled, and Santner would like to see a better performance from his batters.  The top order hasn’t done well, and the side will need a good show from Will Young and Tim Robinson at the top. Mark Chapman batted well in the last game and must build partnerships with Glenn Phillips and Henry Nicholls in the middle order. Mitchell Santner, Mitch Hay, and Michael Bracewell are good finishers, and their role in this game will be crucial.  Weather Conditions We would see overcast skies over Pallekele, and rain may cause disruptions. The wicket here has produced lots of runs in the past, as batsmen can play their strokes freely. The average first innings score here is 248 runs. The side batting first would be eying a total of 300 to feel safe. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is a big venue. We have seen batsmen score runs as the outfield is fast, and the ball comes to the bat nicely. Fast bowlers do well under cloudy skies and get the ball to move. The wicket here offers lots of assistance to the spinners as the ball grips the surface and turns sharply. Toss: To Bat It is a good wicket to bat on at the start, but it gets slower in the second half. The spinners will be difficult to bat against in the second innings. The side winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by batting first.

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 doesn’t 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 Zealand’s 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 doesn’t come onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers don’t 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.

Will West Indies pick up a consolation win? Sri Lanka vs West Indies TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Sri Lanka clinched the series with a dominant win in the second ODI, sending West Indies into a state of dejection. West Indies know what they need to do to push for a win, but their young team doesn’t quite have the ability to adapt to the conditions and start playing spin with more confidence. No wonder the visitors are still searching for their first victory in more than 10 matches in Sri Lankan soil. With a dead rubber, there’s hardly any pressure and they may pick up a consolation win but they will need to play at their absolute best to even come close to challenging the mighty Lankans in this form. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lankan bowlers have come to the fore and set things up nicely for their batters to come in and get the job done. Asitha Fernando, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshanaβ€”who walked into the XI at the last minuteβ€” bowled beautifully with intent to trigger a collapse and run through their batting order. At 58 for 8, the visitors were in deep trouble. Sri Lanka were hoping to mop up the tail and make short work of the chase, but Rutherford and Motie offered resistance bringing up a 119-run stand. West Indies Preview West Indies batsmen were left bewildered by Sri Lankan spinners in the second ODI, as well. Brandon King and Shai Hope looked to take the attack to the pace bowler Asitha Fernando, but it backfired against them in the end. Their wickets created an opening that the hosts spinners would exploit later on. West Indian batsmen were sitting ducks against the likes of Theekshana, Hasaranga on a slow, dry used surface. They couldn’t play out their full quota of overs and were skittled out inside 40. It could have been worse. Reduced to 58 for 8, the visitors had Rutherford and Motie come together and make some valuable runs for the 9th wicket, adding 119 runs to give their total a bit of respectability. Weather Conditions Scoring runs on the used wicket was arduous, as many West Indies batters found the other day. A new wicket is in order for the final match, but the conditions will mostly stay the same. And it could make run-scoring difficult early on, whether it’s pace or spin. It’s going to be cloudy and rain is predicted during the course of the game, and the bowlers will look to make the most of it. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy where Sri Lanka picked up their 11th win in 14 matches a couple of days ago. Toss: To Bowl The chasing team had a leg up in both matches this series, so there’s a good chance that the team winning the toss would opt to field first.
