SL vs NZ Key Players

Kusal Mendis

Kusal Mendis understands how to use pace to his advantage, making him an elite opening batsman. He averages around 35 in this format. He scored 143 and 74* runs in the two ODIs. He is expected to perform well in the next game as well.

SL vs NZ Match Tips

The Sri Lankans might be looking to improve their team's ability to bat as a whole rather than relying on individuals. New Zealand's bowling has improved between games one and two. Their main concern will be a lack of adaptability for the batting conditions. Sri Lanka is going to be aiming towards a clean sweep in the ODI series.
