1 0 1 194 0

New Zealand and Sri Lanka square off against each other in Match 41 of ODI World Cup 2023, scheduled to take place on November 9 at M. Chinnawamy Stadium in Bangalore.

If the Kiwis win, they are expected to qualify for the semi-finals. On the other hand, a win for Sri Lanka will work in their favour to get an ICC Champions Trophy qualification.

The runners-up from the last two editions in 2015 and 2019, the Kiwis are going through a mini-slump as they have now lost four successive games.

They began the campaign solidly as they sealed victories in all of their opening four encounters against reigning champions England, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Though, they failed to keep their winning momentum going with four losses on the bounce in the next four.

On the other hand, it has been a dismal campaign for the 1996 champions Sri Lanka as they have played eight games with just two victories and six losses.

The Asian side never looked like challenging for the semi-final place and is now eliminated from the showpiece event. They will play for pride and look to spoil the New Zealander’s party.
