NZ vs SL, 2nd T20I: Top Five Picks

Daryl Mitchell (NZ): Right-handed Daryl Mitchell is the in-form batter for the BlackCaps. He smashed 66 off just 44 with five fours and three maximums in the first T20I as he is expected to continue his solid form.
Tim Seifert (NZ): Tim Seifert made a return to the T20 side after a gap of almost one and a half years in the first game but failed to contribute as he bagged a three-ball duck. The right-handed batter has scored 5 half-centuries in 38 innings in the format and should come good in this fixture.
James Neesham (NZ): All-rounder James Neesham had a good outing in Auckland match as he was the pick of the Kiwi bowlers with his spell of 2/30 (4) and played a cameo of 19 off 10 with two fours and a six. He is a vital part of the New Zealand setup and should be considered for this tie.
Charith Asalanka (SL): Left-handed player Charith Asalanka played a whirlwind innings of 67 off 41 with two fours and six maximums in the last encounter. He also hit a six in the super over that set up the victory for the Sri Lankans.
Kusal Perera (SL): Southpaw Kusal Perera also returned to the T20 team after one and a half years and he showed his class straightaway. The left-handed batter smashed 53 not out as he could be picked for the second game.
