Preview
New Zealand (NZ) will clash against Sri Lanka (SL) in the second T20I match at Dunedin's University Oval on March 5. Sri Lanka won the first T20I game to take a 0-1 lead in the three-match away series after losing Tests and ODIs. The returning veteran Kusal Perera scored an unbeaten 53, and Charith Asalanka ended his poor form by smashing 67 off 41 to help Sri Lanka score 196/5 while batting first. The experienced all-rounder James Neesham took two wickets, while debutant Henry Shipley bagged one on his T20I debut.
Sri Lankan bowlers started well with two early wickets, but in-form Daryl Mitchell smashed 66 0ff 44, and Mark Chapman added 33 runs to level the score in 20 overs. New Zealand scored just eight runs in the Super Over, and then Asalanka smashed one six and four to win the game with four balls to spare. Despite a defeat, the Kiwis remain favourites to win the upcoming game with three wins from the last five T20I encounters against the Sri Lankan team.

Average Score
Player Picks
Kusal Mendis SL | WK
The star wicketkeeper-batter started explosively in the first T20I match by smashing 25 off just nine. Mendis struggled in the ODIs against the Kiwis but has been in a good format in T20Is lately.
Daryl Mitchell NZ | ALL
The star batting all-rounder continued his red-hot form as he top-scored with 66 off 44 in the first T20I. Daryl was excellent in the ODIs as well, with 53 runs and five wickets from two innings and will be a safe captaincy choice on the Dream11 Team.
Kusal Perera SL | WK
The veteran wicketkeeper-batter smashed an unbeaten 53 off 45 on his return to international cricket. Kusal has scored two fifties in his last three T20 innings and will be a key batter for his team on Wednesday,
Wanindu Hasaranga SL | ALL
The top-ranked Sri Lankan spinner smashed 21* off just 11 and then took two crucial wickets while conceding just 30 runs in the first game. Hasaranga has been in excellent form in T20Is and should be in the Dream11 Team at any cost.
Dasun Shanaka SL | ALL
The Sri Lankan skipper scored just one run while batting but took two wickets, including Daryl Mitchell's big wicket, to contribute to the team's win in the first game.
Henry Shipley NZ | ALL
The in-from right-arm pacer made his T20I debut in the last game and took a wicket for 43. Shipley has taken nine wickets from his last three white-ball innings.
Charith Asalanka SL | BAT
The middle-order batter ended his poor run of form by smashing a match-winning knock of 67 off 41 and then scoring winning runs with a six and four in the Super Over.
Mark Chapman NZ | ALL
The 28-year-old batter smashed 33 off 23 in the first game. Chapman was poor against India in the last T20I series but was excellent in the recent domestic cricket tournament.
Rachin Ravindra NZ | ALL
The young Kiwi batting all-rounder scored a crucial 26 off just 13 but didn't get a chance to bowl in the first match. Rachin also scored 49 off 52 in only ODI innings against Sri Lanka and costs only 7.0 credits on the Dream11 Team.

Chad Bowes
NZ | BAT
The 30-year-old opener made his T20I debut in the last game but scored just two runs. Bowes has scored just 17 runs from his three international innings in the white-ball series.
Chamika Karunaratne
SL | ALL
The Sri Lankan pace all-rounder failed to get any wickets while conceding runs at an economy rate of 12.00 in the last match. Chamika took four wickets in the first ODI but it's the only game where he took wickets from his last five overall games.
