The first Twenty20 International between New Zealand and Sri Lanka will take place at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on December 28. Mitchell Santner will captain the team in the six-match white-ball series. Santner succeeds Kane Williamson, who resigned following the 2024 T20 World Cup, as full-time white-ball captain for the first time. Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, and rookie Bevon Jacobs, who was just acquired by the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 auction, are significant contributors.
Sri Lanka has been playing well, winning recent series against New Zealand and India under coach Sanath Jayasuriya and captain Charith Asalanka. Two important participants are Pathum Nissanka and Wanindu Hasaranga.
