Coming at the back of a comprehensive win, New Zealand will look to stamp their authority over the battered Sri Lankan side in the second One-Day International (ODI) at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Monday (December 28). Having beaten Sri Lanka in all their matches in the ongoing tour, the hosts are only growing dominant with each passing match and look send to extend their dominance.
Sri Lanka's 50-over set-up isn't devoid of experience with the likes of Tillakaratne Dilshan, Ajantha Mendis, Nuwan Kulasekara and Chamara Kapugedera in the side - players who didn't feature in Tests. It counted for little as within the first 10 overs, half their side was back in the pavilion. Milinda Siriwardana and
Nuwan Kulasekara slammed half-centuries, but the target of 189 proved too little and too easy for the hosts as they romped home to a seven-wicket win, with 29 overs to spare.
It is unlikely that New Zealand will hurry Kane Williamson, who is suffering a knee niggle, into the side. Martin Guptill, the New Zealand opener, isn't complaining about that. He is currently the highest run-getter in ODIs this year, having wrestled the position from Williamson in the previous match. "I think I've played the most games out of anyone in the world so I'd hope to be at the top of that list," Guptill said with a sheepish grin.
Having been in and out of the side for long before the start of 2014, Guptill said, "I think you go through periods in your career where you're not so confident with how you're going. The start of last summer was one of those times. You have those periods where things don't quite go your way and everything you try doesn't seem to work."
Even in the absence of their best batsmen and new-ball pair of Tim Southee and Trent Boult, the hosts have a strong playing XI to field. For Sri Lanka, the form of Kulasekara and Ajantha Mendis will be crucial. They might be tempted to boost their batting by including Thisara Perera.Teams:Sri Lanka (From): Danushka Gunathilaka, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Lahiru Thirimanne, Dinesh Chandimal(w), Angelo Mathews(c), Milinda Siriwardana, Chamara Kapugedera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Ajantha Mendis, Dushmantha Chameera, Suranga Lakmal, Sachithra Senanayake, Jeffrey Vandersay, Thisara Perera, Nuwan Pradeep, Kithuruwan VithanageNew Zealand (From): Brendon McCullum(c), Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, Mitchell Santner, Luke Ronchi(w), Doug Bracewell, Adam Milne, Matt Henry, Mitchell McClenaghan, Ish Sodhi, George Worker, Tim Southee
