SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis
Hosts Sri Lanka will look for another series win at home as New Zealand fights to level the series in the 2nd Test Match. Sri Lanka came back from behind to win the first Test by 63 runs, and the side will look to build on the momentum. The Kiwis failed to grab their chances in the last game and will look to improve their performance and leave the Sri Lankan soil with something to cheer about.
New Zealand has won only twice in the last 10 Test Matches played on Sri Lankan soil. Their batsmen struggled in the last game in the 4th innings, and they need to come up with a strong show to win. The hosts have lost only once in the last five games at this venue and will look to extend the record.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Sri Lanka Preview
Dhananjaya de Silva and his men will feel confident after their good performance in the last game. While the team looked lackadaisical in the 1st innings with the ball, they made a strong comeback on the last two days. They have done well at this venue, and de Silva expects a strong show from his players.
Pathum Nissanka failed in the last game, and the team expects him to do well against the new ball alongside Dimuth Karunaratne. Dinesh Chandimal batted well and will look to add runs in the middle order with Angelo Mathews and the team's new batting sensation, Kamindu Mendis. Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis add strength to the batting in the lower middle order.
Lahiru Kumara and Asitha Fernando didn't trouble the Kiwi batters much in the last game, and the team expects a better show from them. Prabath Jayasuriya picked 9 wickets in the last game, and he will look to trouble the Kiwi batters with Dhananjaya de Silva. Ramesh Mendis adds depth to the attack.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI:
Dhananjaya de Silva (c), Dimuth Karunaratne, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews, Kamindu Mendis, Ramesh Mendis, Prabath Jayasuriya, Lahiru Kumara, Asitha Fernando

New Zealand Preview
Tim Southee would be upset with the loss in the last game. After securing an important lead in the 1st innings, the visitors lost the plot, failing to use the conditions. They have had a poor record on Sri Lankan soil, and Latham would like a spirited fightback from his team to level the series.
Devon Conway failed in the last game, and the team expects him to do well along with Tom Latham. Rachin Ravindra batted well in the last game and must build partnerships with star batsman Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell. Tom Blundell, Glenn Phillips, and Mitchell Santner are good lower-order batsmen and must do well.
William O'Rourke picked 8 wickets in the last game, and he will look to make good use of the new ball with skipper Tim Southee. Mitchell Santner and Ajaz Patel are the key bowlers for the team, and they must use the conditions to their advantage in this contest. The side will expect a good show from Rachin Ravindra and Glenn Phillips.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There is a forecast for slight rains and overcast conditions at Galle between September 26 and 30. It will make it a good one for the fast bowlers. The pitch has historically offered to fast bowlers on Day 1, while the spinners are likely to do well from Day 3 onwards. The team batting first will look to have 400 runs on the board in the first innings.
SL vs NZ Pitch Report
Galle International Stadium, Galle, has been a good ground for the batsmen and the spinners. Batsmen have scored heavily at this venue on Days 1, 2, and 3, while the spinners have dominated Day 4 and 5. Fast bowlers do get some from the wicket under overcast conditions.
Toss: To Bat
Galle is a very tough venue to bat in the fourth innings, and batsmen find it hard to play the spinners. The sides batting first have won the last seven out of ten games. The skipper winning the toss should not hesitate to bat first on this wicket.
SL vs NZ
Winning Prediction
New Zealand had its chances in the last game but failed to capitalize on them. They must bat well against the Sri Lankan spinners against the old ball. The side will also need a strong show from the spin attack to win. The Sri Lankans have an excellent record at the venue, and the conditions suit their bowling strength. We expect a close contest, but the hosts have an edge.
