Predicting New Zealand’s Playing XI for their 3rd ODI against Sri Lanka

Get insights into the possible New Zealand’s Playing XI: New Zealand are set to play the last ODI game against Sri Lanka on November 19. They haven’t had a good outing yet, as the T20I series ended in a draw. New Zealand were quite strong against India in the Test series, but against Sri Lanka, it seems like they have given up. They haven’t played well in the entire series but have one more match to turn the tables. The Kiwis have a good team but the players haven’t stepped up yet and performed for the team. It’s high time each player took up the responsibility so that they could win the last game. 

Here’s the predicted New Zealand’s Playing XI against Sri Lanka:
