Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for the 3rd T20I of Sri Lanka’s tour of New Zealand 2024-25, to be played between NZ vs SL in Nelson.

New Zealand have won two out of two matches played so far in the ongoing T20I series at home against Sri Lanka and have an unassailable lead of 2-0 with one more game to go, which will be played on Thursday, 2nd January, 2024.

The match will be played at the Saxton Oval in Nelson from 5:45 AM IST. New Zealand lost in Sri Lanka, and they have a great chance to register a whitewash against them.

The hosts will look to keep the momentum going and win the series. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, need runs from their middle order, which has not done well for them in the first two games.
