New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Match Preview

Both teams enter this fixture under immense pressure. Sri Lanka suffered a heavy 51-run defeat to England in their opening Super 8 match, with their batting lineup struggling on a slow surface. The hosts are currently at the bottom of Group 2 and simply cannot afford another loss if they wish to remain in the tournament.

New Zealand, meanwhile, had their Super 8 opener against Pakistan abandoned without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain in Colombo. While the Black Caps earned a solitary point from the washout, they will be eager to test their match fitness and secure a definitive win against the home side. Captain Mitchell Santner will rely on the explosive form of his top order, while Sri Lanka will look to their spin department to exploit the local conditions.
