Pre-Match Analysis:

New Zealand thumped Sri Lanka in the series opener to gain a 1-0 lead in the series. Despite the absence of their star players, the new look kiwi side led by Tom Latham scripted a mammoth 198 runs win. The batters led the charge upfront to set a target of 275 runs and later Henry Shipley’s maiden 5 fer handed them a facile win in the end. There was a doubt among the fans whether the inexperienced bowling line-up will show up or not but they proved them wrong by picking up wickets. They further going to miss the services of Finn Allen and Glenn Phillips who will depart to India to take part in the cash-rich IPL hence Mark Chapman and Henry Nicholls will come in as replacements for the remaining 2 matches, and speedster Ben Lister too included in the squad.

Sri Lanka’s hopes of making it to the World Cup directly is in danger at the moment as they encountered a massive 198 runs loss in the 1st ODI. Their batters didn’t show any resistance and crumbled for just 76 runs against the quality kiwi pace attack. Their bowlers found options for picking wickets in the first half and were successful in bowling out the New Zealanders inside 50 overs. Chamika Karunaratne was their pick of the bowler who claimed 4 wickets. They need to make a statement in this match if they want to stay alive in the series. All eyes will be on Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga who had a tough game in the 1st ODI.
