Sri Lanka and New Zealand will clash in the series-deciding second T20I match at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Sunday, November 10. The much-awaited contest marks a must-win one for Mitchell Santner and co. as they lost the first T20I by four wickets at the same venue. The action is slated to commence from 7:00 PM IST onwards.

Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

SL vs NZ 2nd T20I Preview

Sri Lanka won the first T20I by four wickets to sustain their newfound winning momentum, one which commenced with back-to-back wins against West Indies last month to seal that series by a 2-1 margin. For the hosts, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis have emerged as some of their primary and most prolific batters off late. Captain Charith Asalanka also delivered a ‘Player of the Match’ winning innings in the previous game. Wanindu Hasaranga and young paceman Matheesha Pathirana, on the other hand, have ably helmed Sri Lanka’s bowling attack.

The New Zealand cricket team continues to find itself in peril following their crashing exit from the 2024 T20 World Cup earlier this year. The ‘Black Caps’, led by bowling all-rounder Mitchell Santner, recently lost their series opener against Sri Lanka. Apart from young Zakary Foulkes, who delivered an exceptional all-round performance, no other New Zealander managed to take the fight to the hosts. In a bid to level the series, the New Zealand management will be banking on their senior members Santner, Ish Sodhi and Glenn Phillips to come up clutch in the impending decider.
