SL vs NZ Probable Winners:

Sri Lanka has two of the world's best limited-overs spinners, Hasaranga and Theekshana. They will face a daunting task when they use the middle overs against a long and powerful New Zealand batting lineup. Mark Chapman and Glenn Phillips will return to familiar surroundings after stints at the Dambulla Sixers and Colombo Strikers before this year. There will be two important batters to watch. New Zealand will strive for a team performance, which has traditionally been their strength. Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.
