 Team NEWS: 

 SL Team News: 

Sri Lanka has been firing on all cylinders. They took down India 2-0 in an ODI series, swept New Zealand 2-0 in Tests, and then grabbed a white-ball series win over the West Indies just last month. With Charith Asalanka leading a solid squad that’s stayed mostly unchanged, they will be hoping to keep that momentum going and make a strong to the series.

 NZ Team News: 

New Zealand had a tough time at the T20 World Cup, crashing out in the group stage. But they recently pulled off a massive 3-0 Test series win over India, marking their first-ever series win on Indian soil. While they’re bringing in a young squad for this series, they’ve got Mitchell Santner at the helm, and he’s been in top form. Now, they will be looking to shake off those T20 struggles and give Sri Lanka a run for their money.
