NZ vs SL 2nd ODI Match Prediction

New Zealand will host Sri Lanka in the second ODI of their three-match series at the Seddon Park in Hamilton on Wednesday, January 8. The hosts, under the leadership of all-rounder Mitchell Santner, won the first ODI to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Will Young has scored the highest number of ODI runs among all New Zealand batters off late. Having tallied 440 runs in his past seven ODI matches, right-handed opener also punched out a match-winning 90* in the first game of the series.

While Kusal Mendis failed to go big against New Zealand in the first ODI, the in-form wicketkeeper-batter has hauled 394 runs in his last nine matches overall at a prolific average of 56.29.
