New Zealand vs Sri Lanka: ODI Series Update

In the ongoing ODI series between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, wet weather in Hamilton delayed the start of the second match, reducing it to 37 overs per side. New Zealand, having won the first match by nine wickets, can secure the series with a victory in this second game. Veteran player Tom Latham returns to the New Zealand lineup, while Sri Lanka has made changes by bringing in spinner Maheesh Theekshana. With the ICC Champions Trophy approaching, both teams view this series as critical preparation. Matt Henry's previous performance, with figures of 4-19, was pivotal in New Zealand's first ODI win, where they comfortably chased down a target of 178. The third and final match of the series will be held in Auckland.
