Pallekele International Cricket Stadium

Sri Lanka will meet New Zealand again in the second ODI of the New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka 2024. The game will be played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on November 17. The game will begin at 2:30 PM IST. Have a look at the match preview before it begins.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand Chance of Winning

Following their tied T20I series (1-1), Sri Lanka stepped into this ODI series with a win in the first game of the series. Led by Charith Asalanka, Sri Lanka batted extremely well in the last game while their bowling unit made sure of the victory. Facing a strong New Zealand side, Sri Lanka will look to adapt their approach to the longer format and build on their recent success as they step up to the ODI challenge.

It has been a while since New Zealand played an ODI game and that showed in the first game of the series. Their bowlers were expensive while the batting unit collapsed pretty early, handing over a huge win to Sri Lanka. The team is now 0-1 behind in the series and will look to bounce back in the upcoming game.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand Betting Tips

Sri Lanka to score under 27.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.86@Parimatch)

Sri Lanka is enjoying its top form in the format. Sri Lanka is coming from a series win against the West Indies. The team’s opening order revolved around Nishan Madushka and Avishka Fernando in the series and scored 6, 14 & 81 runs for their opening partnership in those games. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis opened for the side in the T20I series where they scored 3 & 6 runs before their first dismissal in the two T20Is. Coming into the ODIs, Sri Lanka opened their innings with Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando who led an opening partnership of 17 runs in the game. That said, Sri Lanka will be losing an early wicket in the second ODI game as well.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand Toss Prediction

The pitch at Pallekele can offer good batting conditions in the early stages of the game, with some assistance to spinners as the match progresses. The surface tends to stay true for the first innings but can get slightly slower, bringing spinners and slower bowlers into play.Teams winning the toss often choose to bowl first, especially if there's a chance of rain or dew in the evening. This allows them to take advantage of any moisture early on and benefit from potentially easier batting conditions later.

Weather Report

On November 17, Dambulla is expected to experience afternoon thunderstorms, with a high probability of rain. The maximum temperature will likely reach 32°C (89.6°F), with a minimum around 23°C (73.4°F).
