New Zealand won the first ODI of the series against Sri Lanka

New Zealand are 1-0 up in their ODI series against Sri Lanka with two matches to play. Here you can watch NZ v SL ODI series with TV channel and live streaming details.

The hosts won the first match of the series in Wellington by nine wickets, with Will Young finished the chase unbeaten at 90. Matt Henry took four wickets after Sri Lanka batted first and were bowled out for 178. The Black Caps reached their target in the 27th over of the innings, with Rachin Ravindra the only wicket to fall.

The win is even more impressive for New Zealand given the absence of some of their biggest names for the T20 leagues. Lockie Ferguson, Finn Allen, Adam Milne and Tim Seifert are missing the series to play in BBLwhile Kane Williamson and Devon Conway have joined theirs SA20 team. Ben Sears and Kyle Jamieson are also absent through injury. It is less than ideal preparation for the Champions Trophy, before which New Zealand only have to play a tri-series with Pakistan and South Africa.

For Sri Lanka, Lahiru Kumara was recalled to their ODI squad after playing one match in the format in March 2024. He replaced Dilshan Madushanka while Sadeera Samarawickrama was dropped for Nuwanidu Fernando. Nail bowler Eshan Malinga made his debut in the first match of the series and conceded 41 runs in the five overs he bowled without taking a wicket.

The second game of the series will be played in Hamilton on Wednesday 8 January, while the final game will be played in Auckland on Saturday 11 January.
