Let's see if the Sri Lanka team can win against New Zealand in the second ODI match. You might remember the T20 series between these two teams. Sri Lanka won the first match of the T20 series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand as well, but New Zealand won again in the second match, resulting in a drawn T20 series. Similarly, in the first match of the ODI series between these two teams, the Sri Lankan cricket team was able to defeat New Zealand. If the New Zealand team wins the second ODI match in the ODI series like the T20 series, then maybe this series will be more competitive. Because in the third match both the teams will try to give their best performance to win the series and try to win the match.
What I think is that t20 format and odi format are not the same, here the changes of players can be seen in the squad. Although I thought the New Zealand team would win both the T20 series and the ODI series. But after seeing the promising performance of the Srilankan team, I don't think so anymore.
Moreover, since the matches are taking place in the Sri Lankan ground, it is natural that the pitch will largely favor the Sri Lankan team. And the pitch of this ground seems to be batting friendly. And that's why the Sri Lankan team has been able to set a huge target of 324 runs in the first ODI match against a strong team like the New Zealand team.
And in the mean time their weather was not good because of the rain the environment of the match changed more I think where the New Zealand batsmen could not adapt themselves. Anyway, if the situation continues like this, I don't think the New Zealand team will be able to play much better in the second match.
