NZ vs SL Key Players

Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson was in the spotlight for both Tests as he made some high quality hundreds to keep New Zealand in the game and also helped give them shots at wins. He is scoring runs consistently again and has once again marked himself as a player to watch out for.

Angelo Matthews

The last time Angelo Matthews went out to bat in New Zealand he managed to bat out an entire day with Kusal Mendis. He is very experienced, knows the New Zealand conditions well and has been in good touch too of late with the bat, which will play a vital role in the upcoming series.
