New Zealand and Sri Lanka are going to face each other in the 41st ODI ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 match on 9th November at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Despite scoring more than 400 runs, New Zealand still lost their last match against Pakistan by 21 runs due to the DLS method. With the victory over New Zealand, Pakistan’s semis hope is still alive.
New Zealand has to win its next game against Sri Lanka with a bigger margin or it all depends on Pakistan and Afghanistan’s upcoming matches.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka’s hope for the 2023 World Cup semis is hanging by a loose thread after getting a huge margin defeat by India.
Any defeat in the upcoming two matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand will directly eliminate Sri Lanka from the 2023 ICC World Cup.
Let’s dive into the New Zealand and Sri Lanka overall ODI records:
