Both teams made strategic adjustments to their lines. New Zealand welcomed Tom Latham backwho had lost the first ODI due to a side pressure. Latham replaces Wicketkeeper-Batter Mitch Hay in the XI game. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, chose an approach-heavy approach, bringing Maheesh Theekshana to replace the quick Bowler Lahiru Kumara, who fought in the first race, going without a wicket and admitting eight runs up.
