New Zealand vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 Prediction
The news of NZ Skipper Bredon McCullum Retirement may or may not hit the Blackcaps. NZ Team must want to give the surprise gift to their captain for New Year. According to Blackcaps coach, Craig McMillan is ready for his ODI debut, but being left handed batsmen is difficult to open.
Sri Lanka side being the younger side than Blackcaps and many players are playing for 1st time in NZ with some experienced as Angelo Matthews and Dilshan. Both experienced players have to show some good knocks to win this series.
Lasith Malinga is injured which is a major blow for Sri Lanka. The new young pacer Dushmantha Chameera may take Malinga’s place for today’s match.
NZ will win the match.
