New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Chances of Winning
After losing the T20I series 1-2, Sri Lanka were on the backfoot coming into the One Day International series as well. To make matters worse, they lost the toss and were asked to bat first at Basin Reserve. Their batting was off to a poor start with opener Pathum Nissanka getting out in the fifth over after scoring a mere nine runs while fellow opener Avishka Fernando was the team’s only saving grace with 56 runs. The rest of the top and middle order were hardly of any help and in the end, Sri Lanka wound up with a score of 178. New Zealand’s Matt Henry led the bowling attack with four wickets while Jacob Duffy and Nathan Smith captured two wickets apiece.
New Zealand had plenty of time to pull off this rudimentary chase and they managed to finish the match in half of the allotted overs. Openers Will Young and Rachin Ravindra made sure the team made a great start by scoring 90* and 45, respectively. After the latter’s dismissal, Mark Chapman helped finish the chase with an unbeaten 29 and this got New Zealand over the line with nine wickets to spare.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Betting Tips
New Zealand to score over 30.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Parimatch)
New Zealand are unparalleled on home soil and their opening partnerships have only improved since the tour began. During the three-match T20I series, it was Tim Robinson and Rachin Ravindra who led the innings for the team and they managed to add 81, 13 and 20 runs to the first wicket. The former was replaced by Will Young in the ODI series and the team boasted an opening stand of 93 runs. They have absolutely taken Sri Lanka’s bowlers apart and haven’t shown any signs of backing down.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
New Zealand to have a better opening partnership than Sri Lanka @ 1.76 (Parimatch)
Sri Lanka’s opening partnership between Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando ended after 15 runs were scored in the last match, owing to the former’s early dismissal. There is absolutely no comparison with New Zealand in this regard since Will Young and Rachin Ravindra scored a whopping 93 runs together before the latter was out on 45, missing out on a half-century. Sri Lanka’s first partnership has seen a gradual decline over the course of the tour considering they started out by scoring 121 runs in the first T20I game. New Zealand’s openers are preferred over that of Sri Lanka for the upcoming fixture.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Best Batters
Will Young to be New Zealand’s Best Batter
Will Young fell short of a century in the previous match against Sri Lanka as the opener was not out on 90 by the end of the innings. He was, naturally, New Zealand’s top scorer and his mature knock got them over the line. He has an ODI career average of 48.80 which makes him the top pick for the next match, too.
Pathum Nissanka to be Sri Lanka’s Best Batter
Pathum Nissanka faced an unfortunate early dismissal in the previous encounter against New Zealand where he was out for just nine runs. Nevertheless, he was the second highest run-getter for Sri Lanka in the T20I series with 141 runs in three innings, including a half-century, and he is expected to come good in the upcoming game.
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Best Bowlers
Matt Henry to be New Zealand’s Best Bowler
Matt Henry was New Zealand’s leading wicket-taker in the opening ODI game versus Sri Lanka where his ten-over spell included a maiden, four wickets and an absolutely stunning economy rate of 1.90. He achieved a sensational bowling average of 4.75 in the tournament so far, making him a top contender for the second fixture as well.
Wanindu Hasaranga to be Sri Lanka’s Best Bowler
Wanindu Hasaranga went wicketless against New Zealand in the previous outing but after delivering six overs, he ended up with the best economy rate of 4.83 among the team. In the three-match T20I series prior to this, he emerged as Sri Lanka’s top wicket-taker with six wickets and an average of 16.50. He remains the leading choice for the next encounter.
