Sri Lanka will look to wrap up a Test series victory over New Zealand as the second and final match gets underway in Colombo.
The hosts won the opener by six wickets and are on a three-match winning streak in the traditional format of the game following Dimuth Karunaratne's appointment as captain.
Selection-wise, the Lions can welcome back the fit-again Dilruwan Perera, likely in place of 22-year-old Lasith Embuldeniya.
The Black Caps, meanwhile, could bring in fast bowler Neil Wagner for a pitch that tends to offer a fair amount of pace and bounce.
