SL Playing 11 for New Zealand vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips For NZ vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction

Sri Lanka suffered an embarrassing defeat against New Zealand in the first ODI at Eden Park in Auckland. Henry Shipley took a fifer as Sri Lanka struggled to register a total of 76 – their fifth-lowest ODI total and the lowest total against New Zealand.

The hosts posted a competitive 274 onboard after opting to bat first. In response, Sri Lanka’s top half was blown away within the first 10 overs of their innings, with Shipley bagging four of those wickets and Nuwindu Fernando getting run out. The visitors struggled to stitch a partnership and only three of their batters managed to register double-digit scores.

With the second ODI scheduled to be held on March 29 at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, Sri Lanka will have to regroup and come back stronger to level the series.

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from SL

Wanindu Hasaranga had an off day on the field in the 1st ODI. He couldn’t take a wicket and got dismissed in the previous match. However, he will be motivated to make a statement in the 2nd ODI.

Chamika Karunaratne was the pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka in the first ODI. Karunaratne picked a four-fer and helped the visitors to restrict New Zealand under 300. Despite the loss, he will be confident of a good performance in 2nd ODI.
