Sun Nov 17 17:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Sri Lanka Eye Series Win as They Face New Zealand in 2nd ODI

**Pallekele, Sri Lanka:** Sri Lanka will look to seal a series victory when they take on New Zealand in the second One Day International (ODI) at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, November 17th. Sri Lanka currently leads the three-match series 1-0 after a rain-affected victory in the first ODI. New Zealand, however, will be aiming for a win to level the series after drawing the preceding T20 series.

The first ODI saw Sri Lanka post 324/5 in 49.2 overs before rain interrupted play. New Zealand were set a revised target of 221 runs in 27 overs but were bowled out for 175, thanks to a strong Sri Lankan spin attack.

The second ODI is scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time), with the toss taking place at 2:00 PM IST. The match will be broadcast live on Sony Sports Network in India and live-streamed on SonyLIV.
