New Zealand eye a place in the semifinals of the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023 as they take on Sri Lanka in a crunch fixture at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The Blackcaps started the tournament with four wins on the trot, but a run of four straight defeats have put them in a precarious position in the points table. New Zealand are currently fourth in the points table, with Pakistan and Afghanistan breathing down their necks, hoping to seal the final semi-final spot. A big win for New Zealand against Sri Lanka, however, might just be enough for them, considering their superior net run-rate.
