Sri Lanka, led by Charith Asalanka, will look to carry their winning momentum from the third T20 match into the ODIs. Pathum Nissanka, who shone brightly in the T20 series with a stunning 90 in the opener, will be key to their batting effort, alongside experienced players Wanindu Hasaranga and Kamindu Mendis. Sri Lanka’s bowling unit, featuring the impressive Maheesh Theekshana, will need to adapt quickly to the conditions in Wellington to challenge New Zealand’s batting lineup.
