New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and chose to bowl first at the Chinnaswamy stadium. It has been New Zealand all the way since then with pacers Trent Boult and Tim Southee, with some help from Lockie ...Read More Ferguson blowing the Sri Lankan top five away. While Kusal Perera smashed the ball around and helped Sri Lanka off to a quick start, they also lost four wickets in the first 10 overs, including Perera himself. All this has meant that Sri Lanka have been reduced to their last three wickets in their first 20 overs itself.
This could be it. New Zealand and Sri Lanka are fighting in two different halves of the table and the result of this match will have significant implications for both those races. New Zealand are looking to keep Pakistan and Afghanistan at bay in the race to the semi-finals while Sri Lanka are trying to stay afloat in the race for qualification to the 2025 Champions Trophy. However, both their efforts could be dampened, and even drowned out, by incessant rainfall that has engulfed Bengaluru over the past couple of days. Thus far though, there has been bouts of sunshine and no signs of rain.
Parts of the city is under yellow alert till November 10 and so there are high chances of this game being significantly affected by rain. In the worst-case scenario, there could be a washout as there are about four thunderstorms predicted throughout the course of the day. The city has witnessed heavy rainfall in the last four-five days prompting the MET department to issue a yellow alert from Monday. A yellow alert is issued when the rainfall is between 64.5 mm and 115. 5 mm in a day.
Sri Lanka's campaign has been thrown haywire by the fact that they lost to Bangladesh by three wickets in a game that was laden with controversy. That was their third consecutive defeat and the fact that it came after a 302-run hammering at the hands of India meant that their net run rate has also plummeted. England jumping up to seventh spot has temporarily pushed them out of the qualification spots for the Champions Trophy as well.
New Zealand, on the other hand, are surprisingly on shaky grounds after starting off with four consecutive wins. They are fourth due to their net run rate, level on points with the two teams below them in Pakistan and Afghanistan. While a victory against Sri Lanka would put them two points clear of Pakistan, it will also give the latter an exact idea as to what they need to do when they face England on Saturday. Afghanistan, while being on eight points as well, are too far behind on net run rate to be considered a serious threat for New Zealand.
Both sides are hence looking for as comprehensive a win as possible to secure their respective positions in the two halves of the table. However, the whole thing could end up being a damp squib with the city of Bengaluru being hit by heavy showers a day before the match. Both teams will be hurt by a washout but arguably, New Zealand far more in the race to the top four than Sri Lanka in the race for the top eight. New Zealand need two points from this match or else Afghanistan or Pakistan could overtake them. Sri Lanka will move into the qualification spots for the Champions Trophy but will then need England, Bangladesh and Netherlands to all lose their matches.
Here are some key pointers to the NZ vs SL World Cup match in Bengaluru:
- New Zealand won the toss and chose to bowl first
- New Zealand are placed fourth but level on points with Pakistan and Afghanistan
- Sri Lanka are placed ninth on four points and could temporarily jump into a 2025 Champions Trophy qualification place with a win
- Rain has lashed Bengaluru over the past couple of days and a yellow alert has been sounded in the city

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Wonderful low catch from Mitchell, another wicket for Santner and another nail in Sri Lanka's coffin. This has gone so horribly wrong for them. This delivery is outside off after the previous two were in line with the stumps, Dhananjaya lured into it, but the extra lift surprised him. He ends up somewhere between playing he shot and pulling out of it, outside edge and Mitchell takes.

The two share a hug in relief after that. Sri Lanka are falling apart.

Confident appeal for LBW second ball of the ninth, umpire turns it down. Boult tells Williamson that the two noises are coming from the ball hitting both the pads and so the New Zealand captain takes the review. Sure enough, there is no bat and it is three reds. Boult is in the business today.

Some close ones which could have gone either ways. Here we are here today, would want to address the issue in front of us. Lockie comes in for Ish Sodhi. Adjust to what is in front of us. Make use of the ball first up.”

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Trent Boult hasn't been at his best but it is Matt Henry who has spearheaded the NZ pace attack in his stead. But a torn right hamstring's tournament was done when he suffered a torn right hamstring in the game against Pune.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Williamson all praise for Ravindra
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Whatever little the world knew of Rachin Ravindra before this World Cup was that he was an all-rounder who was in the team during subcontinent tours, with his spin bowling seen as a useful tool along with his batting. And then, Kane Williamson got injured and Ravindra got promoted to No.3. Lo and behold, he not only proved a capable replacement for Williamson but also showed that, just as Williamson came after Martin Crowe, it could be Ravindra next for New Zealand. The man himself has nothing but praise for the youngster. "We knew the talent was there, but to come out be one of the players of the tournament so far - not only with the bat, but he's also making really valuable contributions with the ball. Yeah, very, very special player, and great that he's on our side," said Williamson about Ravindra.
Nov 09, 2023 12:46 PM IST
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Batting (first) paradise
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Two of the three games at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in this World Cup have seen the side batting first score above 350. Only England have failed to do so and that was in a match against... Sri Lanka! Food for thought for New Zealand.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Rachin could surpass Sachin
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Rachin Ravindra has scored a whopping 523 runs so far in this World Cup. He is hence tied with Sachin Tendulkar's tally in the tournament overall before the latter had turned 25 and that was also the most runs scored by any player in the World Cup below that age. Ravindra could hence that particular record of Tendulkar's today. The rest, like most runs, most centuries, the five wicket hauls, are for another day. A day that seems set to come considering how he has taken this World Cup by storm and become a fan favourite everywhere he goes.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: This used to be a tightly contested fixture until halfway through the previous decade. Sri Lanka have not been able to beat New Zealand in an ODI since December 2015. There have been 101 matches played between the two teams and New Zealand have won 51 of them while Sri Lanka won 41.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: There could be a few BlackCaps fans wondering how is it that this game is not a dead rubber with them sitting comfortably in the semi-finals. They started off with four consecutive wins and then got taken apart by India, which they have in common with all teams in this tournament thus far. After that game though, they went on to lose to Australia, South Africa and Pakistan. While they were beaten fair and square by South Africa, the lost to Australia and Pakistan after scoring 383/9 and 401/6 respectively. Cricket can be a cruel game.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: The Angelo Mathews incident
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Angelo Mathews became the first player in the history of international cricket - men's or women's - to be given out due to the timed out rule in Sri Lanka's previous match against Bangladesh. Regardless of which side of the debate you lay on, Sri Lanka were pretty clear, as you would expect, that they had been wronged and that fired them up. They were combative in the Bangladesh chase, they made sure that the batters weren't given any kind of undue advantage and argued with the umpires every time they felt that was happening. They were in the faces of the Bangladeshi batters and Mathews got sweet sweet revenge by dismissing their captain Shakib Al Hasan, whose appeal had led to him making unwanted history. The spirited performance that Sri Lanka put in led to…. them losing by three wickets. It did look on a number of occasions during the Bangladesh chase that Sri Lanka were more concerned with playing victim than actually winning the match and the comments made by Mathews after the game has helped everyone nicely gloss over the fact that they had fallen to a third consecutive loss and are potentially out of contention to qualify even for the 2025 Champions Trophy, let alone the top four.

Well, let's see who comes out on top - New Zealand, Sri Lanka or the clouds.
