SL vs NZ 2nd ODI Live Streaming: When & where to watch Sri Lanka vs New Zealand live on laptop, TV

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: Charith Asalanka to captain Sri Lanka against New Zealand for white-ball series

Sri Lanka have taken a giant step towards the World Test Championship (WTC) final after their dominant win over New Zealand in the second Test match in Galle on Sunday (Sep 29). A win at home with a margin of an innings and 154 runs sees them third in the WTC standings with only India and Australia sitting above them. The Islanders will now keep close eyes on the India-Australia Border-Gavaskar series starting on November 22 as it will have huge consequences on who makes it to the final at Lord’s in June 2025.

<h2>Sri Lanka go third in the WTC standings</h2>

Entering the contest after a narrow 63-run win in the opening affair, Sri Lanka ran riot in the second contest after Kamindu Mendis structured their win. The latest win sees Sri Lanka in third place with a PCT (win percentage) of 55.56 from nine matches. They are in fact one of four teams yet to draw a match in the current WTC cycle. In nine matches they have won five and lost four keeping them in the hunt for the final which will take place at the Lord’s in June 2025.

New Zealand on the other hand suffered a huge downfall as they now sit seventh with a PCT of 37.50 and have won only three matches in the current cycle while losing five.

While Sri Lanka are third at the time of writing, they could automatically move into the top two if either India or Australia drop points in the five-match Test series which starts in November. Interestingly, the head-to-head affair will result in at least one team dropping points. Sri Lanka on the other hand, will look to get the better of&nbsp;South Africa in a two-match Test series in November and December while they also face Australia at the end of January.

WTC Standings: Sri Lanka rise to third spot after 2-0 series win in Galle; eyes on India-Australia series

Sri Lanka were just five wickets away from a crushing second Test and series victory over New Zealand on Saturday with the tourists 199-5 at stumps on third day, having followed on after collapsing to 88 all out in their first innings.&nbsp;

Tom Blundell was not out 47 and Glenn Phillips on 32 when bad light forced an early end to play in Galle after debutant off-spinner Nishan Peiris took three top-order wickets.

Devon Conway, battling to save both his team and his place in the side, joined forces with former captain Kane Williamson in a dogged 97-run partnership for the second wicket.&nbsp;

De Silva lured Conway, who had made 61 off 62 balls, into a drive towards the vacant deep cover boundary that was caught by Dinesh Chandimal in a spectacular backward running catch.

Williamson, the world's second-ranked batsman behind England's Joe Root, departed when he misjudged a shot off Peiris, with Ramesh Mendis grabbing a tumbling catch at long-on.&nbsp;

Tom Latham had been the first wicket to fall after the follow-on was enforced just before lunch, caught by Pathum Nissanka for a duck at short leg off Peiris, who earlier had taken three first-innings wickets.&nbsp;

Sri Lanka declared Friday on a mammoth 602-5 for in their first innings then spinner Prabath Jayasuriya took 6-42 for his ninth five-wicket haul as the visitors failed to get to three figures.

Jayasuriya will need to dismiss all five remaining New Zealand batsmen to equal the record for fastest bowler to 100 Test wickets, held since 1896 by England's George Lohmann who reached the milestone in his 16th Test.

Resuming at a precarious 22-2 in their first innings, New Zealand's batsmen barely put up a fight and their highest partnership was the 20 added by last pair Mitchell Santner, who top scored with 29, and William O'Rourke (two).&nbsp;

Captain de Silva took five catches at first slip to tie the record for most in a Test innings by a non-wicketkeeper, a milestone shared with 15 others.

Resuming at a precarious 22-2 in their first innings, New Zealand's batsmen barely put up a fight and their highest partnership was the 20 added by last pair Mitchell Santner, who top scored with 29, and William O'Rourke (two). Captain de Silva took five catches at first slip to tie the record for most in a Test innings by a non-wicketkeeper, a milestone shared with 15 others.

SL vs NZ: Hosts scent series victory as New Zealand end day at 199/5 after follow-on

It was a landmark day for Sri Lankan batter Kamindu Mendis after he scored an unbeaten 182 against New Zealand on Day 2 of the Galle Test on Friday (Sep 27). Mendis, who is playing in his seventh Test match for Sri Lanka went level with the great Don Bradman for the fastest 1000 Test runs in the format. At Stumps on Day 2, New Zealand closed at 22/2 in 14 overs while Sri Lanka earlier declared at 602/5 with three centurions in their ranks.

<h2>Kamindu Mendis joins Don Bradman’s elite club</h2>

Having scored his fifth hundred in the year he overtook Joe Root for most runs in the calendar year. However, his biggest achievement was going level with Bradman for the fewest innings taken to complete 1000 Test runs. It took him 13 innings to level with Bradman and now sits second on the honorary list after Everton Weekes.

Mendis made his debut in the Test format in July 2022 against Australia and has since been an integral part of the side. He has also scored five hundreds during the same time making him the Asian player fastest to reach five Test hundreds in just 13 innings.

<h2>Fastest to 1000 Test runs</h2>

Herbert Sutcliffe - 12 innings

Everton Weekes - 12 innings

Kamindu Mendis - 13 innings

Don Bradman - 13 innings

Vinod Kambli - 14 innings

<h2>Sri Lanka on top after Day 2</h2>

Having won the opening Test by 63 runs, New Zealand needed a good response to stay in the hunt for a comeback. However, those hopes were dashed after Kamindu Mendis’ hundreds were coupled with tons from Dinesh Chandimal (116) and Kusal Mendis (unbeaten 106). Interestingly, former captain Angelo Mathews narrowly missed out on a hundred having been dismissed for 88 by Glenn Phillips.

Phillips was the most successful Kiwi bowler having ended with figures of 141/3 while Tim Southee scalped one.
