The first match of the series between
New Zealand and
Sri Lanka will be held on 10th November 2013 at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium, Hambantota. This is one of the best venues in Sri Lanka where several international matches have been played. This stadium has a different kind of pitch and it is expected that the match will be highly exciting and amazing. According to the schedule the match will start at 14:30 local time. As this is the first match of the series, therefore both the teams will try to win the match so that they can create a pressure on the other team and continue the same in the next match as well.
Both the teams are set to play their best game and win the series through their excellent skills and experience. These teams are highly experienced in playing international cricket, therefore are familiar with the environment as well as the behaviour of the pitch. This helps them to plan the strategies accordingly and make sure that they work according to their planning. In this match also, both the team will be entering the field with a solid plan to set a huge score that would create pressure as it will be difficult to chase the target in the second half. While the batting team will make sure that they take quick wickets in order to restrict the team and confine them to a minimum score.
