New Zealand (NZ) will take on Sri Lanka (SL) in the opening T20I of the Sri Lanka tour of New Zealand. This match will be played at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. Charith Asalanka will continue to lead the side, which has a good mix of pace and spin in their team balance. Wanindu Hasaranga will lead the spin unit alongside Theekshana and leggie Jeffrey Vandersay. Nuwan Thushara, Matheesha Pathirana and Asitha Fernando head the pace department with left-arm pacer Binura being the support option. On the other hand, this series will be Mitchell Santner's first as New Zealand's full-time white-ball captain. Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell and Matt Henry return for both the T20Is and Bevon Jacobs gets his maiden call up. This should be an exciting series.
