New Zealand have happy memories of their last test at the Basin Reserve where they beat England by one run, becoming only the fourth team in history to claim victory after being made to follow on.

Motivation may be more of a challenge for the hosts in their final match of a roller-coaster home summer after the emotional highs of winning successive cliffhangers against England in Wellington and the Sri Lankans in Christchurch. Sri Lanka's hopes of reaching the WTC final were ended in the series-opener in Christchurch, where they lost by two wickets in a cliffhanger decided on the last ball. Sri Lanka are convinced they can take 20 New Zealand wickets in the second Test starting in Wellington on Friday and tie the series despite losing the motivation of the World Test Championship (WTC).

"They're a quality side and we saw that over the five days in Christchurch. There doesn't seem to be a serious technical flaw there - more just a string of lapses in judgement, and the loss of confidence that accompanies such spells. This will leave Dhananjaya de Silva as the primary spinner in the XI. Compared to Hagley Oval, Wellington is a venue at which Sri Lanka have been frequently competitive. There is some serious rain predicted for Wellington over the next few days, however, with Friday, Monday and Tuesday looking especially wet. But there will perhaps be more respect for the Sri Lanka attack among them, than when the series started. He is not a bowler with a lot of height, nor is he especially quick.

It has not been the easiest of conditions for touring sides, but Sri Lanka proved that they were a match. For all the relevance it carried, for Sri Lanka, India - and to an extent even Australia, who would've been curious to find out their opposition at the World Test Championship final - a lot of it would be lost in the second Test, starting Friday. Quite a few hopes were dashed in the first Test. After delivering a thrilling finish in Christchurch just a few days ago, New Zealand and Sri Lanka meet again for the second and final Test of the series. Now, they are in with a chance of winning a series to cap off their home summer. Given these conditions, and given how effective their seam attack was in the previous Test, it's no surprise there's talk of Sri Lanka possibly going in with a four-man seam attack.

Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne won the toss and elected to bowl Friday at the rain-delayed start of the second Test against New Zealand in Wellington.
