Match Preview
The 2nd T20I promises to be an exciting contest after a narrow, eight-run victory for New Zealand in the first match. Sri Lanka was in control early, taking five wickets for 65 runs in the first 10 overs, but New Zealand fought back with a brilliant 105-run partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell, reaching a total of 172/8.
Sri Lanka’s openers, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis, nearly guided their team to victory, adding a solid 121 runs in 14 overs. However, despite the strong foundation, Sri Lanka fell short in the end due to consistent middle-order wickets.
In this second T20I, Sri Lanka will aim to build on their strong start, with captain Charith Asalanka and coach Sanath Jayasuriya hoping to guide their team to a victory and equalize the series. On the other hand, New Zealand will look to extend their winning streak and seal the series with a second consecutive win.
