On the other hand, New Zealand gave maiden call ups to bowling all-rounder Nathan Smith and wicket-keeper batter Mitch Hay as Mitchell Santner would be leading the team from the front, which also has players like Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell and Lockie Ferguson.
The hosts are entering this series riding high on confidence after defeating West Indies 2-1 at home whereas the Mitchell Santner-led last played a match in the shortest format in the men's T20 World Cup 2024, where they made a surprising group stage exit. But they do boasts of a better record against Sri Lanka.
