NZ vs SL 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction: New Zealand beat Sri Lanka in the three-match T20I series 2-1, and now these two teams head into the ODI series. The first game of the series will begin at 3:30 AM IST on Sunday at Basin Reserve in Wellington.

Mitchell Santner and Charith Asalanka will lead their respective sides in this series. Sri Lanka won the ODI series at home, but can they do it in New Zealand? If so, it will be a historic series win, but New Zealand hammered them in the T20Is and will start the T20Is as favourites.
