NZ vs SL Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 2, New Zealand vs Sri Lanka T20I series 2024-25

Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for the 2nd T20I of Sri Lanka’s tour of New Zealand 2024-25, to be played between NZ vs SL in Mount Maunganui.

It was an entertaining game to start Sri Lanka’s tour of New Zealand 2024-25 with the first T20I going down to the wire. Sri Lanka had the game under control, but they let it slip away in the last stage.

New Zealand held their nerves to win the game by eight runs. That helped them take a 1-0 lead in the series. Now, New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the second T20I of the three-match series.

The second T20I will be held at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, scheduled to start at 11:45 AM IST on Monday, December 30. New Zealand lost the white-ball series in Sri Lanka earlier this year and they’re now in a perfect position to take revenge.
