Preview
New Zealand will go face-to-face against Sri Lanka in the 40th match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The Blackcaps have lost four matches in a row in the CWC 2023, which has put their semi-final hopes in real jeopardy, while the Lankan Lions registered an important win against Bangladesh to stay in the hunt for making the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. New Zealand have dominated their recent matches in the ODI cricket against Sri Lanka, but they will need to deliver the goods once more in the all-important game on November 9.

Analysis
On his return to the New Zealand setup, captain Kane Williamson scored a fantastic fifty, while staging a big partnership of 180 runs with Rachin Ravindra to help his team reach a total in excess of 400 against Pakistan in the ODI World Cup 2023. But the bowling department of the Blackcaps had a tough day against the opposition in the CWC 2023, conceding 200 runs within just 26 overs to lose the contest on the DLS method, despite decent spells from Tim Southee and Mitchell Santner.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka could only manage to score a below-par total of 279 against Bangladesh, even when Charith Asalanka brought up his second ODI hundred. Although Dilshan Madushanka and Maheesh Theekshana delivered wicket-taking spells for the Lankan Lions, they were still unable to defend this score in the CWC 2023.
