The game adjustments include a first eight -on -long power game and a maximum of eight obligations authorized by Bowler.
Key changes to play Xis
The two teams made strategic adjustments to their alignments. New Zealand has again welcomed Tom Lathamwhich had missed the first ODI due to lateral tension. Latham replaces the ticket office, Mitch Hay in the XI. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, opted for a heavy approach, bringing Maheesh Theekshana to replace the quick launcher Lahiru Kumara, who had trouble in the first match, going without a counter and conceding eight points by.
Summary of the first ODI
In the opening of the series, New Zealand sailors dismantled the best order of Sri Lanka at the start, setting up a dominant victory for nine counters. By hunning a modest target of 179, New Zealand won 142 balls to spare, highlighting their clinical performance with Bat and Ball.
Place conditions and ideas

The revised match format includes a second power game Extending from ninth to 30th above, followed by a third powerplay of seven. These adjustments aim to maintain the balance of the shortcut game.
