The first T20I between New Zealand and Sri Lanka is scheduled to be held on Saturday (December 28). The match will be played at Bay Oval, Mt Maunganui.
New Zealand will be keen to start the series on a winning note as they look to bounce back after losing the Test series to England at home earlier this month. The Black Caps were completely outclassed in the series as England recorded a 2-1 win.
New Zealand managed to avoid a whitewash by winning the third Test and will look to make the most of the momentum.
Sri Lanka will also be looking forward to a successful start to their tour. The Islanders have started the tour well. They have won both the warm-up matches against the New Zealand XI and will be looking to repeat the winning performance in the first T20I as well.
