Ahead of their T20 series against Sri Lanka, Tim Southee, who will be leading New Zealand in Kane Williamson’s absence, said Sri Lanka are a tough opposition and have some seriously talented players. The three-match series begins on September 1 (Sunday) in Pallekele. New Zealand played a practice T20 game against a Sri Lanka Board Presidents XI and won comfortably by 33 runs, with Scott Kuggeleijn returning 4/19, while Ish Sodhi grabbed three wickets. New Zealand last played a T20 International in Sri Lanka back in November 2013, a one-off game that they lost to the hosts by eight wickets in Pallekele. (Video Credit: NZC)
