With two wins in this ODI series, Sri Lanka has demonstrated their ability to perform well at home. Despite losing the second ODI, the Black Caps will be proud of their comeback this series and leading their hosts all the way to the penultimate over. Over the past two games, Kusal Mendis has been a rock-solid batting option for them.

SL vs NZ Key Players

Kusal Mendis

Kusal Mendis understands how to use pace to his advantage, making him an elite opening batsman. He averages around 35 in this format. He scored 143 and 74* runs in the two ODIs. He is expected to perform well in the next game as well.

Jacob Duffy

Jacob Duffy is a major bowling threat from New Zealand. He took three wickets in the first game but did not take any in the final game. He will be hoping to perform well in the next game.

SL vs NZ Match Tips

The Sri Lankans might be looking to improve their team's ability to bat as a whole rather than relying on individuals. New Zealand's bowling has improved between games one and two. Their main concern will be a lack of adaptability for the batting conditions. Sri Lanka is going to be aiming towards a clean sweep in the ODI series.

Match Prediction: Sri Lanka Will Win The Match

SL vs NZ Match Preview

We are now in the third and final game of the ODI series, and Sri Lanka has already won convincingly. The Sri Lankans kept their nerve in the rain-affected second ODI, winning by three wickets. They will go for a clean sweep and capitalize on the momentum. The young New Zealand team has had trouble on this tour, and they want to avoid a run of whitewashes and finish strong in Asia. Sri Lanka has beaten teams in recent home series. They've only lost once in the last seven games, which boosts the team's confidence. In contrast, New Zealand has consistently struggled in Sri Lanka. The batting lineup has little experience in these conditions. It remains to be seen if the team can put up a strong performance in this game and avoid a series whitewash.

Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.

SL vs NZ Match Preview

After rain halted over 23 overs of play in Dambulla on Wednesday, the two sets of players, officials, and fans will be hoping for an entire innings of ODI cricket in Pallekele on Sunday. And, following a drawn T20I series, it would be ideal to see 50 overs each side in this second ODI, which, if won by the tourists, would set up a decider in the third and final ODI. Sri Lanka demonstrated their understanding of local conditions in the first match of the series, with two batters making centuries, and New Zealand will have to learn quickly ahead of this game - easier said than done given that three of their XI on Wednesday were making their ODI debuts.

Sri Lanka continues its home dominance. While the pitch was turning their batters found it easy to make runs with both Avishka Fernando and Kusal Perara getting hundreds.

Sri Lanka started the three-match home ODI series against New Zealand powerfully before a rain interruption in the last over of the first innings.  

After Sri Lanka chose to bat first, the hosts scored 324/5 in 49.2 overs before rain interrupted the game. While the opener Avishka Fernando scored 100 runs off 115 balls with the help of nine fours and two sixes, the wicketkeeper-batter 143 runs off 128 balls with the help of 17 fours and two sixes. 

Also, the skipper Charith Asalanka played a powerful cameo late as he scored 40 off 28 balls (three fours and two sixes) and was out just before the rain interruption. 

Here are some key stats of the innings

Sri Lankan opener Avishka Fernando and the no.3 batter Kusal Mendis set up a 206-run partnership for the second wicket.

  • It was Sri Lanka’s second ODI double-century partnership as well as the highest ODI partnership for any wicket against New Zealand. Their previous record was a 201-run partnership for the opening wicket between Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga at Napier in 2006. 

 

  • It was Sri Lanka’s fourth 200+ ODI partnership for the second wicket and third-highest ODI partnership for the second wicket.

We're in the first of three ODIs between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The two teams split the T20 series, with New Zealand mounting a strong comeback in their second game before losing the first. The Kiwis have had a successful tour of the subcontinent and will look to build on that momentum as the Sri Lankans attempt to hold the fort.

  • Asitha Fernando – Asitha Fernando will add a seam-bowling threat when he has new ball in hand.

Top Picks – New Zealand

  • Will Young – Will Young recently played very well in India. This will be his first ODI match in Sri Lanka. He is good at playing spin bowlers, as he showed in Bangladesh.
  • Lockie Ferguson – Ferguson took a hat-trick in the second T20I to help the tourists defend 108.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Wanindu Hasaranga, Mitchell Santner

Vice-captain – Glenn Phillips, Charith Asalanka

SL vs NZ Probable Winners:

New Zealand is struggling in Sri Lanka. The conditions are unsuitable for them, and their batsmen were struggling on these turning tracks. They have no key players and must get the most out of their top and middle lineup. The Sri Lankans have been very consistent at home in the last 12 months, and they have a strong spin attack. We anticipate a close game, but the hosts hold the advantage. Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.

<![CDATA[Injury blow for Sri Lanka as Dushan Hemantha replace Wanindu Hasaranga for NZ ODIs]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/injury-blow-for-sri-lanka-as-dushan-hemantha-replace-wanindu-hasaranga-for-nz-odis/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/injury-blow-for-sri-lanka-as-dushan-hemantha-replace-wanindu-hasaranga-for-nz-odis/ Tue, 12 Nov 2024 08:25:54 GMT

Sri Lanka faces a significant setback as key spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand due to a hamstring injury. In response, the Sri Lankan cricket board has brought in Dushan Hemantha as Hasaranga's replacement, hoping to maintain a strong spin lineup for the home series. Hasaranga’s injury has impacted the team’s strategy, especially given his recent impressive performance in the T20I series against the Kiwis.

Hasaranga's injury and replacement announcement

Wanindu Hasaranga, who picked up a left hamstring injury while bowling in the second T20I against New Zealand, will miss the ODI series scheduled to start on November 13. Sri Lanka Cricket confirmed that Hasaranga has already returned to Colombo to begin injury rehabilitation at the High Performance Center. Following this development, the board swiftly named Dushan Hemantha as his replacement, a promising option for maintaining spin depth against a formidable New Zealand lineup.

Sri Lanka’s skipper Charith Asalanka also confirmed Hasaranga’s absence in a post-match press conference, adding, “Wanindu Hasaranga will miss the ODI series, but I think Kusal Mendis will be ready to play one day.” Asalanka's statement hints at further strategic adjustments the team may have to consider, especially with Hasaranga’s role as a top-performing all-rounder.

Impact of Hasaranga’s absence and his recent form

Hasaranga’s unavailability is a considerable blow to Sri Lanka, as he was in excellent form in the T20I series, where he took six wickets and claimed the Player of the Series title. His presence on the field has been instrumental in Sri Lanka’s recent performances, particularly against New Zealand, where his economical bowling and wicket-taking ability placed him among the standout players. Hasaranga himself expressed disappointment about his injury following the T20 series, sharing, “I wanted to bowl my four overs to cut down their total. I can’t run, so I tried to maximize with the bat, but I got out.”

As a highly skilled bowler with years of experience, Hasaranga’s absence will require Sri Lanka’s team management to adapt quickly, with Hemantha expected to shoulder additional responsibility in the spin department. Hemantha, known for his strong leg-spin, will have an opportunity to prove his capability in a high-stakes series.

Sri Lanka vs. New Zealand ODI schedule

The three-match ODI series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand begins on November 13 at Dambulla, with the second and third ODIs set to take place on November 17 and November 19 in Pallekele. With Hemantha now part of the squad, Sri Lanka hopes to maintain their competitive edge and deliver a strong performance despite the absence of Hasaranga.

Sri Lanka's run in ODIs has been pretty good as well with a lot of dominance at home.

Both teams are looking to restart after heartbreaking T20 World Cup campaigns. Each appears to be assembling their new-look teams with a few tweaks, but have kept a core group of successful T20 players.

Mark Chapman and Glenn Phillips will return to familiar surroundings after stints at the Dambulla Sixers and Colombo Strikers before this year. There will be two important batters to watch. New Zealand will strive for a team performance, which has traditionally been their strength. Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.

Sri Lanka are in the lead with a T20 to go. Their strong performances at home continue and the team looks to be growing pretty well. They are enjoying the spin advantage and look very solid with the bat as well. New Zealand weren't too far behind as well. Early wickets up front and regular breakthroughs from Sri Lanka was a concern and that is something New Zealand will be looking to control with the help of their experienced heads.

SL vs NZ Key Players

Mitchell Santner

Fitness permitting, Mitchell Santner will be coming into the upcoming game with a lot of confidence. As a bowler he turned a corner in Test Cricket and his spin will be with a lot more bite now that he finally conquered the subcontinent challenge.

Dunith Wellalage

While Wellalage has not played much in T20Is, his ODI Experience has made him a force at home. He is a very good spinner and has shown that he can choke oppositions with ease making him one to watch.
