The 1st T20I match in the two-match series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand will take place on Saturday, November 9, at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. Charith Asalanka will lead the Sri Lanka side while Mitchell Santner will captain the New Zealand. Both teams will look to win the opening encounter and take the momentum with themselves further.
The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium features a well-balanced pitch. Initially, the new ball offers a favourable bounce for batters allowing them to execute their shots with ease. As the game progresses, spinners are likely to become more influential, taking advantage of the surface’s potential for increased grip and turn.
