With the series on the line New Zealand will look to bounce back from their defeat in Dambulla as they take on Sri Lanka in the second ODI of the three-match series at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Sunday (November 17). Sri Lankan batters were unstoppable in the first ODI as the hosts piled on runs in Dambulla. Km Punk Live.

After opting to bat Sri Lanka made 324/5 from 49.2 overs before rain cut short their innings. Avishka Fernando (100) and Kusal Mendis (143) scored centuries while skipper Charith Asalanka chipped in with a knock of 40 off just 28 balls. After a rain delay the run chase was reduced to 27 overs and the revised target for New Zealand was 221.

Openers Will Young and Tim Robinson started well and put on a 88-run opening stand. The opening partnership was broken by Maheesh Theekshana who sent back Robinson in the 14th over. In the same over he dismissed the other opener as well to push the visitors on the back foot. Charith Asalanka and Jeffrey Vandersay made life difficult for the middle order as Henry Nicholls Mark Chapman and Glenn Phillips all fell for single-digit scores.

Michael Bracewell played a lone hand of 34 off 32 as wickets kept tumbling at the other end. New Zealand could only muster 175/9 from 27 overs and lost the match by 45 runs via DLS method. Can New Zealand bounce back to level the series or will Sri Lanka continue their dominant run at home and seal the series with a game to spare?

After an entertaining Dambulla leg of New Zealand's white-ball tour of Sri Lanka the action now shifts south to the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy for the final two ODIs. The three-match series stands at 1-0 in favour of the hosts who are eager to extend their impressive home streak. Km punk. Crictalks. BTW.

Having remained unbeaten in series across formats since September. In the rain-affected opening game centuries from Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis powered Sri Lanka to an imposing total. Chasing a revised target of 221 runs in 27 overs New Zealand fell significantly short. Iqbal Sports Live. Iqbal Sports. By The Way Live.

The absence of Lockie Ferguson ruled out of the series due to a calf injury exposed the inexperience in their pace attack. However the inclusion of Adam Milne as Ferguson’s replacement adds much-needed experience and stability. On the batting front the Kiwis had two debutants among their six batters. Crictalks Live. By The Way.

Their vulnerability against spin as a team was evident. To stay alive in the series the likes of Will Young Henry Nicholls and Glenn Phillips must step up and deliver impactful performances. As for Sri Lanka they were near flawless in the opening game with their batters setting a strong foundation and the bowlers complementing with disciplined spells.

They haven’t secured qualification for the 2025 Champions Trophy but a series win here would boost their morale and reaffirm their dominance at home. Unless there are last-minute injury concerns the hosts are likely to stick with the same playing XI. Should they seal the series in this second ODI they may look to rotate players and rest key members ahead of the Test series in South Africa later this month. That said Charith Asalanka and Co. BTW Live.

would not want to look too far ahead and their focus would be firmly on clinching the series. Can the Kiwis muster a spirited comeback to level the series or will the hosts assert their dominance and seal the series?
