The team winning the toss is likely to prefer chasing, given the favourable conditions under lights.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand Preview

Sri Lanka (SL)

Sri Lanka delivered a clinical performance in the first ODI, with Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando shining with the bat. Their centuries propelled the team to a commanding total, while the spinners, led by Mahesh Theekshana and Jeffrey Vandersay, exploited the conditions to perfection. Heading into the second ODI, the hosts will aim to maintain their momentum and seal the series with another dominant display.

New Zealand (NZ)

New Zealand will be desperate to bounce back after a lacklustre performance in the first ODI. Despite a promising start from Will Young and Tim Robinson, the middle order crumbled under pressure. Jacob Duffy was the standout bowler, taking three crucial wickets, but the rest of the bowling unit failed to make an impact. The Kiwis will need both their batters and bowlers to step up in this must-win clash.
