The first Test match of the New Zealand Tour Of Sri Lanka 2024 will be held on September 18, Wednesday. Here's all you need to know about the NZ vs SL series
The New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka series includes two Tests, three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), and three One Day Internationals (ODIs). The Test series which is a part of the 2023–2025 ICC World Test Championship will be held in Sri Lanka, while the T20Is and ODIs will be hosted by the Blackcaps.
The Kiwis are arriving on the heels of a disappointing exit from the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, where they failed to advance to the Super Eight stage. Their one-off Test against Afghanistan, initially scheduled for September 9-13, was unfortunately called off due to the poor condition of the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex in Noida, with no play taking place.
For the hosts, Sri Lanka, this tour marks their third series since the T20 World Cup debacle. They recently hosted India in a three-match T20I series, which they lost 0-3, but managed to bounce back in the three-match ODI series 2-0. Following that, the Lankans, led by Dhananjaya de Silva, traveled to England for a three-Test series against Ollie Pope’s side, where they missed to claim the glory losing 2-1.
