Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are out of the semi-finals race and reeling at the eighth spot. They lost two Bangladesh by three wickets in their last match. The top eight teams at the end of the league stage of the World Cup 2023 will qualify for ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan, and therefore, a win against New Zealand would be of great importance to Sri Lanka as well.

NZ vs SL Prediction World Cup 2023

New Zealand piled up 401 runs on the board in their last match at the same venue. However, they lost the match against Pakistan by 21 runs (DLS) method. New Zealand batting unit is already in excellent form and the world-class bowling line-up of New Zealand must have leant their lesson already from their last outing at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Sri Lanka are under tremendous pressure after winning just two of their eight matches. Beating New Zealand, who would give it there all to qualify for the semi-finals, won't at all be easy for Sri Lanka on Thursday.
