NZ vs SL Dream11 Team News:
Sri Lanks: Sealing the series will be the top priority on the Lankan Minds.
Dimuth Karunaratne and his partner Lahiru Thirimanne single-handedly took the game away from the Kiwis in the last game.
They were well backed up by the middle-order of Angelo Matthews alongside the likes of Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera.
Akila Dhananjaya, Dhananjaya de Silva and Lasith Embuldeniya spun the web in the last game to clinch 13 wickets.
Dhanajaya’s action is under the radar again, but contention in this game should remain unaffected.
SL Playing 11 (Probable):
Karunaratne (C), Thirimanne, Mendis, Mathews, Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dickwella (WK), Akila, Lakmal, Kumara and Embuldeniya
New Zealand: The Kiwis will look to settle the score and undo the damage to their ICC test Championship prospects,
Tom Latham will need to build on his starts and Raval will also need to get his act together
Skipper Kane Williamson failed to make a mark as well, and he would like to make amends.
Ross Taylor, BJ Watling, Henry Nicolls will have to handle spin more efficiently to propel the team upto a good score.
Ajaz Patel and Will Somerville thrived under spinner friendly conditions while Mitch Santner’s lack of wickets will be a concern for the team management.
NZ Playing 11 (Probable):
Latham, Raval, Williamson (C), Taylor, Nicholls, Watling (WK), Santner, Southee, Somerville, Ajaz, and Boult.

Akila Dhananjay: Six wickets in the previous game which included a first-inning five-for.
Dimuth Karunaratne: Crucial century in the fourth innings to guide his team in a crucial run chase.
Kane Williamson: He scored 135 in the last test these two sides played at the P Sara Oval. Would like to rectify his mistakes from the first test.
