Successive World Cup finalists New Zealand will be taking on Sri Lanka in their final game of the 2023 World Cup ahead of the knockout stage. Three teams have already qualified for the playoff in the World Cup in India. The hosts were the first ones to do so with an undefeated run of eight matches followed by South Africa. Australia were the latest addition to this list with their historic win against Afghanistan in Mumbai. The Black Caps will also be looking to secure a spot in the semi-finals. They were on a flying start to the tournament recording a dominant victory over England and then winning their next three games successively. Their first defeat came against India by four wickets and since then everything has gone downhill for the Kiwis. They went on to lose to teams like Australia, Pakistan and South Africa, and are currently on the verge of not making the playoffs in the 2023 World Cup.
New Zealand and Sri Lanka will clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on November 9. Sri Lanka are also having a poor campaign and have already been eliminated from the World Cup. They were able to pick up only two victories at the marquee event. In their last match, they were beaten by Bangladesh which also involved a controversial ‘time-out’ dismissal of Angelo Mathews. Despite all the lows, Sri Lanka will be looking to end their campaign on a winning note. They will be hungry to take down the Black Caps in their next fixture.
