Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, 2nd ODI: Livestreaming, OTT details and Probable Playing XI

New Delhi: The Sri Lankan team will look to extend their dominance at home as they take on the New Zealand team for the second ODI.

Coming to the first ODI, Sri Lanka’s top order delivered a masterclass in batting. Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando hit scintillating tons to power the hosts to a humongous total of 324/5.

The duo’s record-breaking 206-run second-wicket stand was the cornerstone of their victory. Rain then curtailed New Zealand’s chase to 27 overs, leaving them with a revised target of 221. Despite a strong start from openers Will Young and Tim Robinson, New Zealand crumbled under pressure, managing just 175 for 9.

What is the pitch report of Pallekele?

42 ODIs have been played so far in Pallekele. The team batting first has won 16 matches, while chasing teams have emerged victorious on 24 occasions. Chasing teams won all three games in Pallekele during the recent ODI series between Sri Lanka and the West Indies. However, all the games were rain-curtailed affairs. Rain can be a factor in the initial stages of the second ODI, but fans can expect more action than they saw in Dambulla.
