The first of the two-match T20 series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand takes place tonight at Dambulla, starting at 7 p.m.
The Blackcaps hold a slight advantage in their head-to-head, winning 5 out of 10 past T20 encounters.
This marks the teams’ first T20 match at Dambulla, with New Zealand arriving after a 3-0 Test victory over India but fielding a younger T20 lineup.
The last series between the sides, in 2019, saw New Zealand win 2-1 in Pallekele.
