Following Australia debacle, Williamson and Co. however, went back to the winning ways.
Following Australia debacle, Williamson and Co. however, went back to the winning ways.
Ahead of the second Test at the Hagley Oval, New Zealand opener Tom Latham revealed how they have planned to tackle Virat Kohli once again.
Virat Kohli conceded that his counterpart Tom Latham's blistering knock took the game away from them as New Zealand registered a four-wicket victory.
Tom Latham said the Black Caps, playing their first ODI since that infamous World Cup final loss to England, are hopeful of bouncing back.
Williamson has been ruled out of the first two ODIs against India as he continues to battle an inflamed AC joint in his left shoulder and has been replaced by Mark Chapman.
The veteran, who has only just returned from injury, was struck on the glove by a Mitchell Starc bouncer late in New Zealand's first innings 148 on day three of the second Test in Melbourne.
At stumps on Day 1, Latham and Henry Nicholls were at the crease on their individual scores of 101 and 5.
The Black Caps have left out Neil Wagner, Colin de Grandhomme, Todd Astle and Tom Blundell from their playing XI while Sri Lanka have not included Dinesh Chandimal and Vishwa Fernando.
Taylor was adjudged LBW in the 27th over bowled by Mark Wood. TV replays showed that Taylor was not out but NZ did not have any reviews left.
Ross Taylor (67) and Tom Latham (3) were out there in the middle when it started pouring. The poor form of the New Zealand top order continued amidst overcast conditions in Old Trafford, Manchester.
