New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in match 41 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, November 9. It is a must-win match for the Kiwis because if they don’t win, they will have to depend on England and South Africa to push them through to the semi-final. Thus changes in their playing 11 are expected. They would bring in Lockie Ferguson in their playing 11 in place of Ish Sodhi the extra spinner in all probahttps://www.news18.com/viral/kane-williamson-smiling-after-semi-final-loss-to-india-proves-kiwi-skipper-is-built-different-8663991.htmlbility.
Pakistan and Afghanistan on the other hand, would be hoping that the Kiwis lose as that will open up all the opportunities for them to make it to the last four. Sri Lanka, hurting from two very different defeats at the hands of India and Bangladesh, would be hoping to return home with a morale-boosting win. This win could also give them direct qualification for the Champions Trophy 2025. Dunith Wellalage might find a place in playing 11 against New Zealand as he has not been given a decent run in the tournament.
