After the two T20Is, which ended on Sunday (Nov 10), Sri Lanka will host New Zealand in a three-match ODI series. The Charith Asalanka-led side have been in good form recently and will be desperate to keep the momentum going. Despite a 1-0 lead in the two T20Is, the Lankans couldn't complete a series win over the Mitchell Santner-led Kiwis as it ended in a 1-1 stalemate, thus, the home side will come hard in the upcoming three ODIs. For NZ, they will continue to be led by Santner and have good variety in their squad to challenge the Islanders.

The ODI series opener will be held in Dambulla -- where the two T20Is were also held -- before the action shifts to Pallekele for the final two encounters. SL are coming into this series on the back of impressive wins over India and West Indies, at home, whereas the Black Caps play their first-ever ODI series in 2024, that too without many star players (but they will rely on Santner, Lockie Ferguson,&nbsp;Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, etc.). Thus, Sl start as slight favourites but one cannot write off the Kiwis.

SL vs NZ, 1st ODI Live Streaming: When and where to watch Sri Lanka vs New Zealand series opener

Sri Lanka edged past New Zealand by 63 runs during the morning session of Day 5 to win the first Test, at the Galle International Stadium, Galle on Monday (Sep 23). The first session commenced with visitors'&nbsp;hopes riding on Rachin Ravindra, who went to stumps unbeaten on 91, in a chase of 275 with only two wickets in hand. However, the left-hander departed early as the Kiwis folded for 211 and lost the clash despite a 35-run slender lead.

Rachin and spinner Ajaz Patel started the proceedings and had a herculean task to negate the Sri Lankan spinners on Day 5. However, Prabath Jayasuriya, who ended with 5 for 68 and match figures of 9 for 204, removed Rachin (92) early before cleaning up William ORourke&nbsp;to take his side to a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series.

Talking about the series opener, it was a hard-fought contest from the word go. Sri Lanka opted to bat first and were 106-4 before in-form batter Kamindu Mendis, at No. 5, scored a brilliant 114 to rescue his side as they folded for 305. For Tim Southee &amp; Co., pacer ORourke ended with 5 for 55. In response, the Black Caps were 269 for 4 and looked set for a big lead before folding for 340, courtesy of Jayasuriya's 4 for 136 and Ramesh Mendis' 3 for 101.&nbsp;

From thereon, NZ were playing the catch-up game. SL rode on a combined batting effort from Dimuth Karunaratne (83), Dinesh Chandimal (63), Angelo Mathews (50), and skipper Dhananjaya de Silva (40) to post 309,&nbsp;setting up a tricky 275-run chase.

In the run-chase, the likes of Kane Williamson, Tom Blundell, and Tom Latham got starts but failed to get going as Rachin was left with plenty to do. Jayasuriya's six-wicket haul won the Player-of-the-Match award as he helped his side pull off a narrow win and take a 1-0 lead.

This win comes for SL after their emphatic eight-wicket consolation victory over England at The Oval Test in a recently-held three-match series in England.

Riding high on confidence, De Silva-led Lankans will aim for a series whitewash when the second and final Test commences on Sep 26 at the same venue.

SL vs NZ: Sri Lanka edge past Kiwis by 63 runs to win 1st Test in Galle, take 1-0 lead

Sri Lanka's Kamindu Mendis scored a courageous century against New Zealand Wednesday as the hosts wrestled back the initiative to reach 302 for seven at stumps on the first day of the first Test. Sri Lanka had slumped to 106 for four just after lunch but Kamindu -- Player-of-the-Series for Sri Lanka during their recent tour of England -- provided a confident and calm performance that steadied the team.

Kamindu's innings came to an end on 114 in the penultimate over of the day when Ajaz Patel turned the ball sharply and it popped off the glove for an easy catch at first slip. Kamindu, a versatile all-rounder known for his ability to bat and bowl with both hands, is playing in his seventh Test match. He has already notched up four centuries and four half-centuries in scoring more than 800 runs.

Sri Lanka were in a little trouble going into tea at 178 for five but a 103-run stand between Kusal Mendis and Kamindu rescued them and provided a reasonable first innings total. Kusal posted a half-century but fell soon afterwards to an unusual dismissal when the ball struck Tom Latham at short leg, with skipper Tim Southee snapping up the catch.

Rookie New Zealand fast bowler William O'Rourke had earlier rattled Sri Lanka's top order, taking two wickets as the hosts reached 88 at lunch. The Kiwis took a gamble by leaving out veteran pace bowler Matt Henry but 23-year-old O'Rourke soon justified his inclusion.

He surprised Dimuth Karunaratne with extra bounce in the fourth over and the left-hander nicked the ball to wicketkeeper Tom Blundell, departing for two.

Fellow opener Pathum Nissanka, fresh from a match-winning performance against England last week, was cleaned up by a yorker that swung in late after posting 27.

Dinesh Chandimal clipped Southee's fourth ball after lunch to mid-wicket, where Michael Bracewell took a diving catch. Sri Lankan skipper Dhananjaya de Silva was then bowled through the gate to give part-time spin bowler Glenn Phillips success in his first over.

Angelo Mathews, who was forced off by a blow to his thumb, returned to bat before being dismissed on 36 in the last over before tea, nicking O'Rourke to the wicketkeeper.

Sri Lanka last won a Test series against New Zealand in 2009. The Black Caps have since won four series and drawn two against the hosts.&nbsp; World Test Championship points are on the line, with New Zealand third on the table behind India and Australia. Sri Lanka are fifth.

The first Test, on the imposing grounds beneath the walls of the 17th century Galle Fort, will have a rest day on Saturday when Sri Lanka votes in a presidential election.

The second Test will also be played in Galle, from September 26.

<h2>Sri Lanka to host rare six-day Test</h2>

In a rare event, due to the presidential elections in the country, the Test match starting on September 18 will have a one-day break on September 21. This means the match will retain its original five-day schedule but will extend to a sixth day (if there is no result in the opening five days).

The series came as a surprise announcement for many which was not included in the initial International Cricket Council (ICC) calendar. The two-match Test series will have huge bearings on the WTC standings with both teams in search of important points. New Zealand won the inaugural edition of the WTC in 2021 beating India in the final.

The WTC final in 2021 was also the last time a Test match was played on the sixth day as it consisted of a reserve day, which was utilised.

The series will be Sri Lanka’s first on home turf since they beat India in the ODI series 2-0 and will play New Zealand after returning back from the England tour.

Currently, they are facing England in the opening Test in Manchester and got off to a decent start having been bowled out for 236 in their first innings. At the time of writing, England were 284/6 and were leading by 48 runs in the opening Test.
