Today it is the 39 match of ICC world cup. It is between Sri Lanka and new Zealand match. Sri Lanka win is very important for Pakistan.If Sri Lanka defeats New Zealand, then Pakistan will be replaced in the semi-finals. Pakistan has full hope on Sri Lanka.That they will take Pakistan to the semi-finals.New Zealand lose for Sri Lanka very important of Pakistan team. Sri Lanka batsmen will have to struggle and work hard in today's match.If New Zealand wins this match, Pakistan will have to play with the run rate to win the match.And it will be very difficult for Pakistan.

Not only for Pakistan. This match is important for Bangladesh as well. While Pakistan will support Sri Lanka today because they want to qualify for the semi-final, Bangladesh looking at the match result because If New Zealand wins the match against Sri Lanka, the equation for Bangladesh to play the Champions Trophy will be easier. But If Sri Lanka wins the match today, Bangladesh have to win the next match Against Australia which is almost impossible for them. So a lot of equations in this game. Also, it's a must win game for New Zealand to qualify for the Semi Finals.

I think Bangladesh team will not need to take any more pressure with Champions Trophy game, because I think New Zealand team will win very easily today. I was a bit worried about the New Zealand team as they were losing continuously in the last four matches. Anyway my apprehension was cleared soon after the bowling innings of the New Zealand team.
After 12.2 over New Zealand team scored 86 run and they lose their first wicket. New Zealand might not have taken this wicket if Conway had dealt with the ball more slowly trying not to hit a boundary. However, I think there is no problem if the New Zealand team plays a bit slower. Because the target is not too big and the required run rate is within reach. I feel that New Zealand will lose two more wickets before touching the target.

Although New Zealand have lost their last four matches, they are far ahead in the points table as they have played well in the early stages. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's previous performance was very poor. Sri Lanka played 46.4 overs in today's match but they couldn't go ahead in terms of runs and gave New Zealand a target of just 171 runs so New Zealand got a good chance and won the match easily because the target of 171 runs can be achieved in a T20 match so this target is very easy for ODI match. So New Zealand won the match very easily

New Zealand had a chance today to stay in contention for the semifinals but New Zealand failed there. New Zealand picked up the first nine wickets very quickly but New Zealand had to wait a long time to pick up the last wicket due to which Sri Lanka's first innings collection went from embarrassing to good. The target for New Zealand was that if they could secure victory against Sri Lanka in twenty overs with the fall of fewer wickets, Pakistan would need to win by a minimum margin of 300 runs against England to progress to the next round. Beating England by 300 runs was impossible for Pakistan to catch so definitely New Zealand would have played the semi-final but New Zealand couldn't do it. Batting 23 overs secured a 5 wicket win against Sri Lanka due to which their net run rate is not very comfortable. If Pakistan can beat England by a big margin in the next match, then Pakistan will make a great chance to play in the semi-finals.

Beating England by 300 runs is an impossible task for Pakistan. While it's feasible for Pakistan to score 500 and restrict England to 211, the scenario is only applicable if Pakistan wins the toss. If England wins the toss and elects to bat first, the situation changes.

In my opinion, New Zealand will likely progress, and they should focus on their next match.

Unfortunately, the New Zealand team lost their chance to the semi-finals today. If the New Zealand team could have won by a margin of more wickets without losing so many wickets, then the chances of playing the semi-final would have been the highest. But unfortunately against Sri Lanka they took more time, which is the reason most likely to fail. If Pakistan can win the next match against England by a huge margin, New Zealand will definitely be eliminated from the World Cup. And I think England is currently not a very good strong team, their performance is not that good, so England can lose with Pakistan by a big margin. If Pakistan can beat England and accumulate a good run rate in the points table, New Zealand will definitely fall behind and Pakistan will enter the semi-finals. And I have a long belief that Pakistan will win the next match against England by a huge margin and will be selected for the semi-finals. And if unfortunately England team plays well against Pakistan in the match and defeats Pakistan team and lose by few runs then New Zealand will definitely go to semi-final, there is still a lot of chance for New Zealand.

Yes, the chances for Pakistan to qualify is quite unrealistic and its pretty sure that the semi final played between India vs NZ. Pakistan will be quite disappointed and that is the reason why it should be important to keep an eye on NRR after every match and it can hurt so much if they miss the knockout qualification just due to less NRR.

Okay the remaining matches has no spice at all and we have to wait long from now to see the knockout game.

It's like a sweet revenge for New Zealand. Remember the last match between these two sides? Pakistan won purely because of luck (and due to some support from the DLS). A team scoring 401 first and then losing the match is almost unheard of. And if there was no rain interruption, there was no chance that Pakistan would have won that match. Anyway, bygones and bygones. Now the Kiwis can prepare for the semi-final match against India, and the Pakistani players can book their tickets back home and enjoy beef biriyani three times a day.

When New Zealand won the toss and decided to field, at first I thought that maybe it was because of the bad weather that the New Zealand captain took this decision. That is because New Zealand scored 401 runs against Pakistan but Pakistan won the match due to rain. This may be the main reason why the New Zealand captain decided to field to win the toss today. After bowling out Sri Lanka for 171, I might have thought that if New Zealand were to bat, two wickets would be the maximum they could take. But New Zealand's target of 172 runs required them to lose five wickets to win. Congratulations to New Zealand for a five-wicket victory as they secured this victory, making their path to the semi-finals easier.

I was listening to the commentators after the post-match ceremony. They were saying that in case Pakistan bats first and make 300, then they need to bowl out England for around 50. On the other hand, if England bats first then they need to bowl out England for 50 runs and then chase down the target in 2.5 overs. So we are almost assured of a semi-final match between India and New Zealand. The other semi-final match is between South Africa and Australia. The knockout phase for sure is going to be very interesting.

I think credit goes to Maheesh Theekshana and Dilshan Madushanka for their brilliant 10th wicket partnership which turned out to be the highest as well for Sri Lanka in ODI world cup. Theekshana and Dilshan Madushanka both batted for 87 balls and scored 43 runs and Reached Sri Lanka total to 171/10. Now Pakistan to Beat England by huge Margin for qulaify at semis New Zealand Chase 172 Score Target in 25th Overs.

I never expected the last pair to bat so well, they did what the Srilankan team management never expected from them. Theekshana was amazing as he still got the bowlers frustrated while he added singles and odd boundaries to the target. They batted more than expected, like 15 or 20 overs extra to make the Srilankan team achieve an honorable target. Which I think is still not that good!

I was listening to what Sunil Gavaskar said and it was like a target of 175 or more is okay for them to defend. Currently, the pitch looks so easy for the New Zealand batter to go ahead and achieve the target. This is not something I imagined, it is a pitch meant for the spinners sadly they are not able to generate the result they are searching for. I am referring to the Srilankan spinners.

I felt this game might conclude with each team getting points as rain would interfere again. I do not think it would happen as the night clouds have disappeared and if it does happen I think the New Zealand team would win this game based on run rate. If that doesn't happen and the game gets interrupted, Pakistan will be out of the scenario because of the number of wickets lost by New Zealand within the first power play.

New Zealand will definitely win today, it is clear from their performance.Sri Lanka scored 171 runs against New Zealand.Now New Zealand are batting with a target of 172 runs and at the moment they have collected 80 runs without losing any wicket New Zealand need only 92 runs to win which is very easy equation.If New Zealand wins today, the way for Bangladesh to play the Champions Trophy will be a little wider, but it seems that Bangladesh will not be able to win with Australia.A lot of equations await the match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka today, especially for Pakistan.

Today, Sri Lanka's defeat is certain because against a team like New Zealand, a target of just 172 runs is not a big target. One thing I don't understand is that when Sri Lanka batted, it seemed that the pitch might be completely bowling-friendly, but now that New Zealand is batting, it seems that the pitch is completely batting-friendly. In fact, the general thing is that Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, England are not suitable to play this year's World Cup on the Indian pitch. Although Bangladesh and England are batting well in their last matches but Sri Lanka have shown complete failure in today's match.

Collapse was cute but look at the bright side they successfully avoided the 3rd under 100 scorelines in 2023, so that's some improvement and doing so their tail wagged at the right time and managed to irritate the opposition bowlers and also added extra runs on the board, now bowlers will have something to fight.

If they get lucky under the lights then maybe we'll have a tight finish otherwise it should be an easy chase for the kiwis. Having said that we've seen some funny cricket in this edition so you never know.

OK.. so it is going to be really difficult for Pakistan to qualify for the semi-finals. Sri Lanka is struggling at 105/7. This means that New Zealand will walk away with 2 points from this match and will get a significant boost in their net run rate. Now Pakistan needs a similar win in their match against England, which is going to be extremely difficult. Also, remember that Pakistan's NRR (+0.036) is much lower than that of New Zealand (+0.398) at this moment. So it is almost impossible for Pakistan to qualify. New Zealand may face India in the semis.

Three teams have confirmed the semi-finals of the ongoing ODI World Cup. After India, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan are well in the race to reach the semis as the fourth team. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka are fighting to secure a place in the 2025 Champions Trophy as they will be fighting to secure a semi-final spot. Pakistan will have the biggest advantage if Sri Lanka can beat New Zealand today. In that case, Babar-Rizwan will go to the semi-finals even if they win against England on the 11th. Because, it is very impossible to go to the semifinals of Afghanistan by topping Pakistan. 171 (46.4) all out Sri Lanka. New Zealand target 172 I think they will win this match very easily and confirm semi final.

2 overs remaining each for both Boult and Ferguson. The New Zealand captain maybe looking to take the remaining wicket with these bowlers. BTW, Sri Lanka just lost the 9th wicket, after Rachin Ravindra picked up the wicket of Dushmantha Chameera. Dilshan Madushanka has come to join Maheesh Theekshana at the crease and Sri Lanka are at 131/9. It has been an exceptional performance from New Zealand bowlers (especially from the pacers), after conceding 200 runs in 25 overs against Pakistan a few days ago.

There is no doubt that Boult and Ferguson bowled well today. Sri Lanka's top order collapsed mainly due to Boult's brilliant bowling. But we didn't get a good performance from Southee today. He gave a lot of runs as usual in today's match. However, the overall performance of the New Zealand bowlers was very good today. But New Zealand's bowlers are facing a lot of problems to take the last few wickets. Maheesh Theeksana in particular is batting very responsibly. He is unbeaten by collecting 34 runs from 82 balls. After losing 7 wickets before 20 overs, I didn't think that Sri Lanka would be able to stay at the crease till 43 overs.

A very disappointing performance by the Sri Lankan batters. A poor short selection and some good length bowling did the trick for New Zealand. Sri Lanka is currently 8 wickets down on 114 runs after 25 overs. There are no chances of rain as of now. 150 from here looks like an impossible task.
I am feeling sad for Pakistan fans. They were hoping that somehow Sri Lanka would dominate New Zealand and win the match. Their only option -at the moment- is to pray for continuous rain until the call-off time. LOL Cheesy

New Zealand won the toss and decided to field first. New Zealand's bowlers have been bowling brilliantly. None of the batsmen in Sri Lanka's first sari could play very well. sri lanka were 70 runs in 7 overs and run rate was close to nine decimals.kusal perera is batting brilliantly as he seems to be playing t20 style. If Kusal Perera could have batted for a while, maybe Sri Lanka's team's run would have increased a little. Sri Lanka team's current state of play looks like they will be all out within 170 runs. If New Zealand can bowl out Sri Lanka within 170 runs, then it will be very easy for New Zealand to win this match today.
