The pitch at the Pallekele International Stadium delever a neutral wicket where both the departments are expected to receive a decent amount of help from the surface. It will certainly be a slow pitch assisting the spinners in putting the brake on the flow of runs. Toss winning team looking for bowl first. Although the highest wicket taker was a spinner, the bulk of the wickets were taken by the pacers.
The average first innings score is here 255 runs.
The temperature is expected to hover around 23°C on the Saturday with 81% humidity and 5-8 km/hr wind speed. There are no chances of rain during the game.
Sri Lanka :
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Avishka Fernando, Kamindu Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Mahesh Theekshana, Asitha Fernando, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Dilshan Madushanka, Jeffrey Vandersay.
New Zealand :
Will Young, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitch Hay (wk), Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tom Robinson, Jacob Duffy, Henry Nicholls, Nathan Smith.
The New Zealand cricket team will be extremely keen to draw the ODI series when they face hosts Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI of the three-match series slated to take place on November 17 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Mitchell Santner and his men will be gearing up after the previous loss and will aim to win the next game to level up the series. However, Charith Asalanka and Co. would look to thwart the Black Caps to seal the series in the second game itself.
Speaking about the series opener, Sri Lanka top-order batters Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis have smashed magnificent hundreds against new-look visitors as the home team cruised to a 45-run win by DLS-inflicted method in a rain-hit first ODI game. Kusal Mendis struck 143 off 128 balls, while Asitha Fernando hammered 100 off 115 balls to post 324/5 in 49.2 overs before Rain played the spoilsport and reduced the target to 221 off 27 overs.
However, in reply, opening batter Will Young and Tim Robinson combined in an 88-run for the first wicket, but Charith Asalanka and his men derailed New Zealand's chase and restricted them to 175/9, making them lose the opening game miserably despite the good start by debutants.
For the Kiwis, the next game seems to be a great opportunity to regain momentum and test their bench strength ahead of the 2025 Champions Trophy. On the flip side, a win in the second ODI game would not only seal the series for the Sri Lankan side but bolster their confidence as they gear up for the tougher assignments in the next few months.
