Sri Lanka and New Zealand are all set to have a crack at each other in a white-ball series from November 9 onwards. After defeating West Indies in a three-match T20I series by 2-1, the Lankan Lions will look to keep their run at home going as they face the Blackcaps, who come into this series on the back of a shocking whitewash of India. 

Six of those squad members who inflicted a 3-0 sweep over India are part of the T20I and ODI series against New Zealand. Mitchell Santner will be leading the Kiwis as he has been named the interim captain for the tour. New Zealand are looking for a long-term skipper and the decision will be taken later in the summer. 

The Kiwis have handed maiden call-ups to bowling all-rounder Nathan Smith and wicketkeeper-batter Mitchell Hay. Sri Lanka have retained the same squad that took on West Indies with Dinesh Chandimal retaining his place despite not getting a game in that series.

The two teams will cross the path in five white-ball games - 2 T20Is and 3 ODIs over the next 10 days. The T20Is will be played on November 9 and 10 in Dambulla. The ODI series begins on November 13 with the second and third games on November 17 and 19. The first ODI will take place in Dambulla, while the next two matches will be held in Pallekele.
