New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka 2024
2024.11.09
New Zealand’s tour of Sri Lanka is set to kick off with a two-match T20I series.
On Saturday, November 9, the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium will host the first Twenty20 International match of Sri Lanka’s two-match series against New Zealand. Mitchell Santner will captain New Zealand, while Charith Asalanka will captain Sri Lanka. Both sides will aim to win the first meeting and increase their own momentum.
The pitch of Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium is evenly distributed. First of all, the new ball gives hitters a favorable bounce that makes it easy for them to make strokes. Spinners will probably gain more clout as the game goes on, utilizing the surface’s potential for improved turn and grip.
Squads:
Sri Lanka: Charith Asalanka (c), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, Avishka Fernando, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage, Jeffrey Vandersay, Chamidu Wickramasinghe, Nuwan Thushara, Matheesha Pathirana, Binura Fernando, Asitha Fernando
