Sri Lanka and New Zealand will meet again for the second One Day International (ODI) of their three-match series on November 17, 2024, at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. The match is set to begin at 9:00 AM UTC (3:00 PM Bangladesh time). Both teams will be looking to either extend their lead or level the series, setting the stage for an intense encounter.
Sri Lanka Team: Sri Lanka, buoyed by home support, will look to maintain their momentum going into the second match. Their spin attack, expected to thrive on the spin-friendly surface of Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, will once again be key. The batsmen will focus on building partnerships to put pressure on the New Zealand bowlers.
New Zealand Team: New Zealand, missing key players due to injury, will be aiming to regroup after the first ODI. Their bowling lineup, led by Adam Milne, will need to adjust quickly to the conditions. The team’s experienced batsmen must step up to counter Sri Lanka’s bowlers, especially on a surface that might favor the spinners.
With the series potentially on the line, this second ODI promises to be a tightly contested game, with both teams having much at stake.
