Chad Bowes, Finn Allen, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (c and wk), Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Henry Shipley, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, and Blair Tickner.

NZ vs SL, 2nd ODI: Top Five Picks

  1. Finn Allen (NZ): The Kiwi opener looked in good touch in the first match. But it has been a concern with Finn Allen that he has not been able to continue his good form. Yet even with the risk, Finn Allen looks like a good choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 
  2. Chamika Karunaratne (SL): The Sri Lankan all-rounder did a great job with the ball in the first match. Karunaratne failed to deliver with the bat and in this match will be eager to make up for his batting failure in the first match. 
  3. Henry Shipley (NZ): In the first ODI of the series, the Sri Lankan batting order crumbled like a pack of cards and the prime architect of this Henry Shipley. His fifer broke the backbone of the visitors batting line-up and he will look to repeat the antics. 
  4. Lahiru Kumara (SL): One of the few positives that Sri Lanka could have taken from the first match is Lahiru Kumara. He bowled with discipline and effectiveness. Kumara will be an important pick for the match. 
  5. Rachin Ravindra (NZ): The Kiwi all-rounder looked in great touch with the bat. Rachin Ravindra played a vital knock in the lower-middle order and will try to do the same in this match. He will also try to step for the team's cause with the ball in the second ODI.
