Preview
The New Zealand (NZ) cricket team will be extremely keen to draw the ODI series when they face hosts Sri Lanka (SL) 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.

Kusal Mendis SL | WK
The Sri Lankan wicket-keeper batter has piled up an incredible 143 off 128 balls featuring 17 boundaries and two sixes with a decent strike rate of 112 to help his side wins the series opener. The stylish right-handed batter will again be looking to step up in the next ODI to guide his side to win the series against strong visitors.

The star cricketer has piled up crucial 40 runs from 28 balls featuring three boundaries and two six to guide his side to win the game. The star cricketer also picked up two wickets in the first ODI and showcased his all-round performance. He will be stepping up in the challenging conditions against home team in the next game. His performance with both bat and the ball can give you many fantasy points.
Mitchell Santner NZ | ALL
New Zealand stand-in-skipper miserably fails in the series opener but was great in the recently concluded Test series against India and played a huge role in guiding his side to mark a clean sweep over the Men in Blue in the three match series. He was cheaply run out on nine runs and failed to give any breakthroughs to his side in the first ODI game but despite that, You must keep Santner as a captaincy pick considering his great form in the ODIs as well as he needs to step up with both bat and the ball in the next game to help his side defeats host to level up the series 1-1.
Avishka Fernando SL | BAT
The Sri Lanka opening batter struck magnificent century in the series opener, hammering 100 off 115 balls featuring nine boundaries and two sixes.
Pathum Nissanka SL | BAT

Will Young NZ | BAT
The New Zealand opening batter has made 48 off 46 balls featuring eight boundaries but wasn't enough as the side suffered defeat in the first game.
Dilshan Madushanka SL | BOWL
He has picked up 3 wickets in the last game and played a huge role in restricting the visitors on a narrow score. One must consider him as a budget pick.
