Sri Lanka have just completed their first home series win against Pakistan by a 2-0 margin, New Zealand have won only four Tests in the past two seasons - three of which were against Bangladesh.
What makes Sri Lanka their toughest test in recent years is that hardly any of their squad have played on similar pitches or in such gruelling heat and humidity.
Vettori had admitted that drawing both Tests would be a positive result for this inexperienced side, and how their newer members adapt to Sri Lankan conditions could have a significant bearing on the result.
Sri Lanka: (probable) 1 Tharanga Paranavitana, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt), 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Thilan Samaraweera, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Prasanna Jayawardene (wk), 8 Nuwan Kulasekara, 9 Thilan Thushara, 10 Rangana Herath, 11 Muttiah Muralitharan.
New Zealand: (probable) 1 Tim McIntosh, 2 Martin Guptill, 3 Daniel Flynn, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Jesse Ryder, 6 Brendon McCullum (wk), 7 Jacob Oram, 8 Daniel Vettori (capt), 9 Jeetan Patel, 10 Iain O'Brien, 11 Chris Martin.

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 4th odi Live Streaming
Bangladesh have already announced their XI for tomorrow, with the only change being the inclusion of Junaid Siddique in place of Mehrab Hossain jnr. Naeem Islam opened in the third ODI with little success, so he's likely to drop down the order to accommodate Junaid.
Bangladesh 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Junaid Siddique, 3 Mohammad Ashraful, 4 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 5 Raqibul Hasan, 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Naeem Islam, 9 Mahbubul Alam, 10 Enamul Haque jnr., 11 Syed Rasel
Zimbabwe are yet to announce their XI, but it won't be surprising if they stick to their winning combination. Their top scorer in the second game, Sean Williams, missed the third, so there's a case for his inclusion. He could replace Vusi Sibanda, who was out for a second-ball duck.
Zimbabwe: (probable) 1 Vusi Sibanda/Sean Williams, 2 Mark Vermeulen, 3 Hamilton Masakadza, 4 Brendan Taylor (wk), 5 Charles Coventry, 6 Elton Chigumbura, 7 Stuart Matsikenyeri, 8 Malcolm Waller, 9 Prosper Utseya (capt), 10 Ray Price, 11 Tawanda Mupariwa
