The second T20I between Sri Lanka and New Zealand is set to take place on Sunday, November 10, at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. Sri Lanka, buoyed by a solid performance in the opening match, where they secured a 4-wicket victory, will be looking to complete a series sweep in the final game of the two-match series.
The first T20I showcased a strong display by the Sri Lankan team, who effectively chased down New Zealand’s total, asserting their dominance at home. New Zealand, on the other hand, will aim to bounce back in the second game, seeking a win to even the series and avoid a whitewash.
With Sri Lanka eyeing a clean sweep and New Zealand determined to level the series, an intense and competitive match is anticipated on Sunday.
