ICC World Cup 2023: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka- Match Preview, Odds, and Predictions on Betadda

The upcoming cricket match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka is scheduled for November 9th, 2023, as part of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, from 2:00 PM onwards.

The Black Caps will be relying on the likes of Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, and Tim Southee for their success, while Sri Lanka looks to Kusal Perera, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Dushmantha Chameera to lead them to victory. The Kiwis are the favourites to win this match.

Pitch Report

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is often favoured by batsmen due to its smaller size, enabling them to hit more sixes and a firm level pitch that causes difficulties for bowlers. Furthermore, the dew in the second innings gives those batting later the edge.

Players Face-Off

Dimuth Karunaratne, a left-handed Sri Lankan batsman, has an impressive batting record with 1316 runs in just 50 matches. He will be facing off against New Zealand’s Trent Boult, in the initial overs, who has a staggering 207 wickets from 112 matches.
