The most consistent team in the marquee events of the International Cricket Council (ICC), New Zealand is set to face Sri Lanka in the 41st match of the One Day International (ODI) World Cup clash at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on 9 November. But New Zealand faced a huge blow as they lost to India, Australia, South Africa, and Pakistan, now their hopes to qualify for a semi-final berth depend on a do-or-die match against Sri Lanka.
Rain prediction in NZ vs SL
As New Zealand prepares for another win, they are once again at the mercy of the rain. Bangalore has a 70 percent chance of rain between 2 pm and 7 pm, and on the eve of the match, the weather was gloomy during New Zealand’s training session. They even had to stop for a while because of the light rain that can be common on Thursday.
Pakistan, Afghanistan eye on NZ vs SL
Of the three teams competing for the only remaining semi-final spot, New Zealand is best placed to survive with a healthy net run rate (NRR). But between the three (Pakistan and Afghanistan are the others), New Zealand will enter the final with a must-win against Sri Lanka after four consecutive defeats. Among the three important games in the next three days is the New Zealand match in Bangalore, which is very likely to be affected by the weather.
Who will play semi-final against India
It’s a game that even hosts India, currently in Bangalore, will be watching with great interest as it could decide who and where they face in the semi-finals. India is confident that if New Zealand wins, the two teams will meet in the second leg of the World Cup 2019 semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium. Of course, there is still a chance that India will face Pakistan at the Eden Gardens, but that will depend a lot on what happens in Bangalore on Thursday.
