Lockie Ferguson Ruled Out of Sri Lanka ODI Series Due to Calf Injury - Lotus365 Match Prediction and Betting Insights

New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson ruled out of Sri Lanka ODIs due to a calf injury, but Lotus365 match predictions anticipate exciting action.

New Zealand’s pace spearhead, Lockie Ferguson, has unfortunately been ruled out of the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka due to a calf injury. The injury, which he sustained during the second T20I in the recent series, cut his match short despite his impressive performance, including a hat-trick that secured a five-run win for New Zealand. In his absence, Adam Milne has been called up to bring his speed and experience to the squad.

Ferguson’s absence is a significant setback for New Zealand, especially in an ODI series that promises thrilling cricket action and opportunities for exciting match predictions. Head coach Gary Stead expressed his disappointment: "We're gutted for Lockie. He showed in just two overs the impact he can make with the ball and his leadership qualities. However, Adam Milne is a like-for-like replacement, and we’re optimistic about his impact.”

Lotus365 Match Prediction: The first ODI, taking place in Dambulla on Wednesday, is expected to be fiercely competitive. New Zealand will be looking to make a strong start despite Ferguson’s absence, and fans can look forward to dynamic performances and exciting betting odds.
