Preview
Previous match couldn’t be completed because rain interrupted in the 29th over of New Zealand innings at Auckland. The teams have taken some good news from those 28.5 overs as Kiwi opener Martin Guptil signals that he is returned in form. He was not out on 66. Sri Lanka stopped NZ batsmen to score quick runs and took three wickets. Hence tomorrow’s match is going to be excited as both teams will be eager to win it.
New Zealand
The good news for New Zealand is that Grant Elliott will be available for this match and it is expected that he’ll replace Vettori in the final playing XI. Kane Williamson may also play 4th ODI if he is declared fit for the match just before the game begins. Brendon McCullum is in good form and batting aggressively. Kiwi team will be depending on him along with Guptil, Taylor, Ronchi and Anderson. Southee, McClenaghan and Boult will be again vital bowlers in the match.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan team may go with four spin options including two all-rounders in tomorrow’s game as there is possibility that Nelson’s wicket can help the spinners. Rangana Herath and Suranga Lakmal are fit and one of these two can be seen in tomorrow’s game. Sri Lanka batting line up once again depending on Dilshan, Sangakkara, Jayawardene and Thirimanne.
