In the upcoming clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, New Zealand will face off against Sri Lanka in the 41st match of the ODI World Cup 2023 on November 9. The cricket enthusiasts are eager to know who will emerge victorious in this exciting encounter.
New Zealand is currently grappling with a string of defeats, having lost four consecutive matches in the tournament. Despite this, they maintain a respectable fourth place in the standings with four wins and as many losses. A victory in their upcoming fixture could secure their spot in the tournament’s semifinals.
On the flip side, Sri Lanka has had a tough time, suffering three consecutive defeats to Afghanistan, India, and Bangladesh. Their hopes of advancing further in the competition were dashed following a loss to Shakib Al Hasan’s side. However, they have an opportunity to salvage their campaign with a win against the Kiwis.
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is renowned for its batter-friendly pitch. The surface offers an even distribution of pace and bounce, making it favorable for batsmen to accumulate runs, thanks to a fast outfield and shorter boundaries. As the game progresses, spinners could come into play and gain more assistance from the pitch.
In head-to-head statistics, New Zealand holds an advantage with 51 wins, while Sri Lanka has secured 41 victories. They have encountered each other 101 times in ODI matches, with one match ending in a tie and eight producing no result. Their cricketing battles date back to June 9, 1979, and their most recent encounter was on March 31, 2023.

Two standout performers to watch out for in this contest are:

He is New Zealand’s leading run-scorer in the tournament, boasting 523 runs at an impressive average of 74.71 and a strike rate of 107.39. Ravindra has already notched up three centuries and two half-centuries in the competition, making him a formidable force in the Kiwi lineup.
Probable Best Bowler: Dilshan Madushanka (Sri Lanka) Dilshan Madushanka is a vital asset for the Sri Lankan team, especially in the bowling department. He currently leads the wicket-taking charts in the ODI World Cup, having claimed 21 wickets with an excellent economy rate of 6.48. Despite Sri Lanka’s challenging run in the tournament, Madushanka’s performance has been exceptional and could make a significant impact in this match.
