How Will The Rangiri Dambulla Pitch Pitch Behave?

The pitch at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium will be a bit slow and is expected to help the spinners. However, the wicket might gain a bit of pace towards the evening. At the beginning of the second innings, the seamers might get a help for the initial few overs. It might also turn out in favour of the batters as the ball will come on better under lights.

Players To Watch Out For In SL vs NZ

Sri Lanka

Pathum Nissanka

The Sri Lankan opener enjoys the ODI formats and has been doing a great job for the team. Pathum Nissanka's steady approach at the top and the ability to pace his innings makes him a crucial player in this game.

Wanindu Hasaranga

This Sri Lankan all-rounder has been in a good form during the T20Is. Wanindu Hasaranga impacted the T20Is with her efficient spells, especially during the 2nd match. Given the bowling form he is in and his ability to contribute with the bat in the lower order, Hasaranga could be a crucial player in this game.

New Zealand

Will Young

This Kiwi opener has been in a good form with the bat in the tournament. Will Young has the ability to pace his innings during a match. Therefore, he might emerge as a game changer for the visitors in this game.

Mitchell Santner

The Kiwi limited overs skipper looked good with the ball in the first T20I match. With help expected for the spinners from the pitch, Mitchell Santner will play a big impact in his team's performance in this game.
