High-flying Sri Lanka will be eyeing another win when they take on New Zealand in the second SL vs NZ T20I. The final game of the two-match series will be played on Sunday (November 10) in Dambulla.
Sri Lanka have continued their dominance over New Zealand in the ongoing home assignment. Earlier, they had blanked the Black Caps in the two-match Test series. New Zealand then bounced back with a historic 3-0 Test series win in India before returning to Sri Lanka again for the ongoing series.
