NZ vs SL 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction: This will be the 2nd ODI match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, which will be played at Seddon Park, Hamilton. The match is going to be on January 8, 2025, at 6:30 AM

Team Preview of NZ vs SL 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction 2025

In the 1st ODI match of the series, New Zealand completely outplayed the Sri Lankan team as they won the match by 9 wickets easily in just 26.2 overs after bowling them out on just 178, and then it was Matt Henry who took four wickets.

Once again, the 2nd ODI will surely favor New Zealand unless the Sri Lankan batter steps up for this game because, except for Avishka Fernando, no other batter was able to surpass the 10 runs scored.

Sri Lanka’s all-rounders scored some runs to contribute to the team, but the bowlers failed to pick quick wickets. Will Young scored 90 not out alongside Rachin Ravindra, who scored 45, and Mark Chapman, who scored 29 runs, to win the match with 9 wickets.

Sri Lanka might give Nishan Madushka a chance and can also give Mohammed Shiraz a chance in the bowling lineup, replacing Eshan Malinga, who was expensive in the last match.
