Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for the 2nd ODI of the Sri Lanka vs New Zealand ODI series 2024, to be played between SL vs NZ in Pallekele.

Sri Lanka produced a dominating performance in the first ODI against New Zealand in Dambulla. Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis slammed centuries and then the bowlers kept the Kiwi batters on a leash to win a rain-hit game by 45 runs.

Sri Lanka and New Zealand will now lock horns in the second ODI at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, November 17.

New Zealand are struggling to get runs from their batters on this tour, which has been their major problem so far. They will face the same challenge once again and need a big contribution from their top order to level the series.
