Match Preview
The 41st of the 48 ODI matches in the ODI World Cup 2023 will have New Zealand locking horns with Sri Lanka. The match will take place on November 9 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. New Zealand lost their last fixture against Pakistan by 21 runs, whereas Sri Lanka were on the receiving end of a 3-wicket loss by Bangladesh. Speaking of their respective position in the points table, the Kiwis sit at the fourth spot, while the Islanders have occupied eighth place.
With their defeat by Bangladesh, the 1996 champions have already crashed out of the semi-finals race of the ODI World Cup 2023.
Team News
There are no latest injury and health updates of players from both teams.
Toss Prediction
New Zealand’s captain (Tom Latham as well as Kane Williamson) came on top in two of the three last tosses. On the flip side, Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis managed to win one toss in his side’s last three matches. Coming back to the forthcoming match on Thursday, we think Kane Williamson would have luck on his side and he will win the toss over Mendis.
Win Possibility
While New Zealand sit on the edge of qualifying for the playoffs stage in the tournament, Sri Lanka sit on the verge of getting eliminated from the ICC mega-event. The teams share an ODI rivalry of 101 matches and out of those matches the 2015 and 2019 finalists came on top in 51 matches. The previous champions, on the other side, won 41 matches.
Having a look at the ongoing tournament, the Black Caps have won four of their eight matches, while Sri Lanka have managed to win only two games so far. Sri Lanka are already officially out of the tournament, while the match holds a great significance for the Kiwis. We think the Black Caps would make the most of it, and hence, emerge victorious in the upcoming game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host its fourth out of five matches in the 13th edition of the ODI World Cup. Looking back at the past games of the venue, the stadium has hosted 37 50-over matches with an average first-inning score of 233.
Considering this and the big hitters that both teams have, we think the first-inning score in the upcoming game will easily be somewhere around 290-300 while the powerplay score would lie between 45-50.
