Get all the details for the Second T20I between Sri Lanka (SL) and New Zealand (NZ), including match preview, head-to-head stats, probable XI, Dream11 Predictions and live streaming details

The second T20 International between Sri Lanka and New Zealand is set to be played on November 11. The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium will host the contest at 7 PM IST on Sunday. Sri Lanka recently toured the West Indies where they won a three-match T20I series 2-1. The Asian giants hope to replicate their dominance in the ongoing home fixtures. When they met New Zealand in a T20I series in 2022-23, Sri Lanka suffered two defeats in the three-match assignment. The Islanders were able to beat the Kiwis in a bilateral T20I series for the last time back in 2013-14.

This marks the first 20-over assignment for New Zealand since their heartbreaking elimination from the 2024 T20 World Cup. They crashed out of the group stage after securing two wins in four matches. The Black Caps last hosted Pakistan in a T20I series in April. Both teams won two matches each after the first T20I was abandoned due to weather issues. New Zealand recently toured India to play two Tests and whitewashed the hosts to register a historic series win.
