The NZ vs SL ICC World Cup 2023 match will be played in Bengaluru on November 9. The match starts at 2 pm and is a must-win game for both teams. New Zealand after their loss to Pakistan in the previous game finds themselves in a tricky situation while Sri Lanka’s NRR took a beating after a 302-run loss to India.
New Zealand posted over 400 runs against Pakistan but lost the match on the DRS method with Pakistan being ahead of the run rate at the halfway point. The Men in Green ultimately won the match by 21 runs on the DLS method as they were 200.1 at 25.3 overs chasing 402 to win.
Sri Lanka, after their loss to India needs to win their remaining games. They lost Bangladesh and are now need another big win against the Kiwis. Even getting to six points might not be enough for the Sri Lankan side to make the playoffs.
The two teams have had a very different campaign so far. The Kiwis won their first four games and lost their next four. Their last loss to Pakistan was a bit unfortunate. However, they have still managed to stay within the top four.
Sri Lanka never managed to get any momentum throughout the tournament. They won three games but those wins were hard-fought ones. Both the teams have played one match each before in Bengaluru in this World Cup. Thus this NZ vs SL match looks to be an exciting prospect.

The Kiwis have to win this game to finish within the top four with 10 points. Only a win takes them through to the semis. A loss almost knocks them out.
