Cricket score and updates from New Zealand in Sri Lanka November 2024 - Follow all the action from Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium

New Zealand stunned India 3-0 in the recent three-match Test series and became the first team in the history of the format to whitewash India in India. Their next destination is Sri Lanka, a place where they lost two Test matches quite convincingly before heading to India. This time, however, it will be an all white ball affair.

New Zealand paceman Lockie Ferguson has been ruled out of the one-day international series against Sri Lanka after suffering a calf strain in the second Twenty20 match against the South Asians. Ferguson was struck down with the injury soon after becoming his nation's sixth bowler to take a T20 hat-trick as New Zealand won by five runs in Dambulla on Sunday to split the series 1-1.

Despite a 1-0 lead in the two T20Is, the Lankans couldn't complete a series win over the Mitchell Santner-led Kiwis as it ended in a 1-1 stalemate. Thus, the home side will come hard in the upcoming three ODIs.
