NZ vs SL Live Streaming, 2nd T20I: The excitement continues as New Zealand hosts Sri Lanka for the second T20I of the three-match series at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on December 30, 2024.

New Zealand took a thrilling 1-0 lead in the series after a narrow 8-run win in the opening encounter.

The match was a roller-coaster, with New Zealand's middle-order batsmen, Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell, rescuing the team after a shaky start, while their bowlers, Jacob Duffy and Matt Henry, ensured a memorable victory.

Sri Lanka, who looked in command for much of the chase in the first match, will be eager to bounce back and level the series. The island nation put up a brave fight, with their openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis adding 121 runs for the first wicket, but a dramatic collapse saw them fall short by just 8 runs. This sets up an exciting second T20I, and fans will be eager to see whether Sri Lanka can make a strong comeback or if New Zealand will take an unassailable lead.
