The second and final T20 International (T20I) of the two-match series between host New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be played Sunday at Eden Park in Aukland.
Watch the live stream here, here, here and here and the live scores here, here and here. The twenty over match starts at 3 p.m. local time (2 a.m. GMT) on Jan. 10, or 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT on Jan. 9.
The hosts registered a thrilling three-run win over Sri Lanka in the first T20I on Thursday. Batting first, the Kane Williamson-led squad made 182 with the help of inform opener Martin Guptill's 58 off 34 balls knock, according to Stuff NZ. New Zealand later restricted the visitors to 179 for 9 in 20 overs, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
"It looked as though it could be getting away from us right at the end. They only needed 35 off 24 balls. In T20 standards that's pretty easy, with the size of the boundaries and the size of the bats. But Mitchell McClenaghan and Trent Boult at the end were brilliant in their last couple of overs. And for Grant Elliott to finish off like he did was good," NZ bowling coach Dimitri Mascarenhas said, according to ESPN Cricinfo.
The Black Caps, who already won a presiding ODI series against Sri Lanka, are now looking to continue their dominance over the visitors by sealing a T20I series as well.
The probable squads:
New Zealand: Kane Williamson, Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Martin Guptill, Mitchell McClenaghan, Adam Milne, Colin Munro, Luke Ronchi (wk), Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, Ross Taylor
Sri Lanka: Tillakaratne Dilshan, Danushka Gunathilaka, Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews, Milinda Siriwardene, Chamara Kapugedera, Thisara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Sachithra Senanayake, Dushmantha Chameera, Jeffrey Vandersay, Isuru Udana. Kithruwan Vithanage, Shehan Jayasuriya
