SL vs NZ
New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl, New Zealand's bowling line was very strong today. Sri Lanka batted first and suffered a batting disaster. Sri Lanka was under a lot of pressure after losing 5 important wickets in the first power play. All the Sri Lankan batsmen failed today, no one got a chance to perform well and take the team out of the pressure. No Sri Lankan player got a chance to play a big innings today. Sri Lanka's poor batting will eventually lead to defeat. Can't see any chance for Sri Lanka to win today and will be eliminated from ICC Champions Trophy. New Zealand, on the other hand, will win today by a huge margin and have a good chance of playing in the semi-finals. So far, Sri Lanka have scored 153 runs in 39 overs with the loss of 9 wickets. Sri Lanka have only 1 wicket remaining and will be out at any moment.

Sri Lanka's run rate is very good. They scored around 7 runs per over. Sri Lanka team collected 84 runs in 12 overs. This could have been a good collection had Sri Lanka not lost 5 of their batsmen in just 12 overs. However, the pitch of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is completely batting-friendly. It is easy to score runs on this pitch. It was on this pitch that New Zealand set Pakistan a huge target of 402 runs in the last match. But the interesting thing is that despite giving such a big target, the New Zealand team failed to win the match. Pakistan scored 200 runs in 25.3 overs losing just 1 wicket and won by DLS method due to rain. And so in today's match, Sri Lanka has no chance of winning if the target is less than 300.
Sri Lanka have yet to lose all their wickets. Sri Lanka collected 128/8 in 32 overs. The team's collection was 70 runs in the first 8 overs. Sri Lankan batsmen collected 44 runs in the last 20 overs. Sri Lanka is in such a state because of top order players batting like idiots. Perera was playing very well in today's match. But he should have batted responsibly. Several batsmen have been dismissed while he was at the crease. Even then Perera did not bat responsibly. Sri Lanka's innings will probably stop before 150. New Zealand should win by a big margin today. Given a target of less than 150, my guess is that New Zealand will win in 20-25 overs.

The scenario is getting very much clear by now. New Zealand will face India in semis and Sri Lanka will miss next ICC champions trophy. Sri Lanka had a disastrous world cup and lots of changes going on in cricket board due to this poor performance. Only good thing seen so far from Sri Lanka side in today's game is Kusal Perera 51(28). rest of batting just collapsed.
Kusal Perera was the only Lankan batsman who looked confident in today's match. But once he got out, it was all over for Sri Lanka. Dushmantha Chameera and Maheesh Theekshana are at the crease now, but it looks unlikely that they will get past 150. And in that case it may take less than 20 overs for the Kiwis to chase the target, which can take their net run rate to formidable levels. And all this is bad news for Pakistan. Now it is almost confirmed that they will not qualify for the semi-finals.

New Zealand are far better on the run rate when compared to the other two teams with the points, that is Afghanistan and Pakistan. A win in todays match will make this run rate further better and if they win with a big margin then NRR will increase even more.
The game is in New Zealand's hand and they are looking for a comprehensive win. New Zealand will try to chase down this total as soon as possible. With rain thread looming, they should try to finish this Sri Lankan innings in half an hour. Despite Kusal Perera's onslaught, no other Sri Lankan batter was able to do justice to this batting friendly pitch. Perera scored the fastest fifty by any batsman against New Zealand in World Cups. Only a miracle can save Sri Lanka now. Their chances of qualifying for the ICC Champions trophy 2025 will be over after this defeat.

Angelo Mathews and Dhananjaya de Silva are trying to stabilize the innings after being ripped through by Trent Boult. And theirs is the last recognized batting pair for Sri Lanka. So far they looked comfortable against the spinners, as well as against Lockie Ferguson. Perhaps the New Zealand captain can get a few more overs from Boult, but it is going to be a risky strategy. Also, the wayward Tim Southee needs to be called in at some point. Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra are yet to bowl, and we also need to remember that the net run rate is going to be extremely important for the semi-final qualification.

In New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka match, there will be some tough situation for the Pakistan Team, if the New Zealand Team wins then slightly low chances will be for the Pakistan. But there are two more possibilities that will be good for the side of Pakistan, first if the Sri Lanka Team wins and Pakistan win their match England then They will qualify for the Next Round. And Second if The rains hits then it will also be a probability for the Pakistan. So let's see who will be in the Top 4 teams and who will qualify for the Semi's.
The New Zealand team will have to put in a lot of effort to win today if they want to go into the qualifiers. Because New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan have equal points for the three teams going into the qualifiers, New Zealand is ranked higher. So we must secure the qualifier match by winning against the Sri Lankan team today. If the New Zealand team loses then the chances of relegation are definitely high as their place in the points table will drop to the bottom. Today is New Zealand team's last match so Sri Lanka team will try hard to win the match and it would be better if they decide to bat early. However, if Sri Lanka can keep the team under pressure from the bowling side in the target game, then surely New Zealand's victory can be assured today.
New Zealand are far better on the run rate when compared to the other two teams with the points, that is Afghanistan and Pakistan. A win in todays match will make this run rate further better and if they win with a big margin then NRR will increase even more.
So, in the event of the NZ win, it is not possible for both the Pakistan and Afghanistan teams to have a very big margin wins in their respective matches. Afghanistan will be playing against the South African team who except for the last match, had a pretty good tournament. Similarly, Pakistan will take on England who have been in bad form but in the last match they (England) seem to gaining momentum, so it won't be easy for these two teams (PAK and AFG) to progress further in the tournament.

Boult picked up three important wickets with only 26 runs in 5 overs. He is bowling very controlled.
Sri Lanka just lost their fifth wicket. Kusal Perera is out like a fool. He scored 51 runs off just 22 balls which is truly commendable. But Perera should have batted on fire after Asalanka lost his wicket. He went to play big shots like a fool. Sri Lanka team lost 5 wickets for 70 runs.

There is no doubt that their batting order is very strong. Even then, the team lost in the last four matches. New Zealand has no option but to win today's match. And not only win, the New Zealand team has to win by a big margin today.

Match has been started and the situation of Sri Lanka is really weak. They already lost 4 wickets in 8 overs and made only 70 runs. Kasal Parra is on pitch and trying to pulling score but only one man can't do anything.😁😁😁 While typing Kusal Parera is now out. They will not win this match even New Zealand will maintain its Net Run Rate much better and Pakistan will not qualify for the Semifinal.

The New Zealand vs Sri Lanka match is very important for both the teams. If New Zealand wins today's match, their hopes of playing in the semi-finals will be very much alive. So New Zealand will try hard to win this match today. Meanwhile, today's match is very important for Sri Lanka. Because if they lose today's match, they will not be able to participate in the Champions Trophy. Very aware of New Zealand's batting line, they batting well. If New Zealand bats first today, New Zealand can give Sri Lanka a target of 370 runs. Then it will be very difficult for Sri Lanka to win this match.
Yes this match is very crucial for both squad but for Sri Lanka squad this match do not crucial for this tournament because they already eliminate from this contest, winning this match for Sri Lanka squad is very necessary for Champion Trophy, maintain their run rate is also essential. On other side, this match also important for New Zealand squad, of they lose this match there chance will be vanish to qualify in semi final. Now this match has started on the field. First Sri Lanka start this match by batting inning. Sri Lanka has been lost important wickets Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka.

New Zealand hasn't won a match ever since they defeated Afghanistan on 18th October. They were unfortunate to loss the last match though. DLS defeated them despite batting first and scoring a massive 401. And for today's match the Kiwis have won the toss and decided to field first. They believe that Sri Lankan batsmen are out of form and they can bundle them out cheaply. Lockie Ferguson has been included in the playing XI and he replaces Ish Sodhi. Other pacers are unchanged from the last match - Tim Southee and Trent Boult.
Exactly they are thinking that SriLankan batsman are not able to score much therefore they have chosen the field first. And New Zealand believe that if they will restrict the SriLankan team under the 300 runs so they will easily won the match. But no one know about that Sri Lanka can also perform well in both batting and bowling line. But there are 70 to 80% chance that the New Zealand will win this match. November 09, 2023, 03:07:53 AM

If New Zealand can win against Sri Lanka today, they will almost certainly qualify for the semi-finals. A win against Sri Lanka today will not officially guarantee the semi-final but New Zealand will have a much better chance of making it to the semi-finals. Pakistan's next match is against England, even if Pakistan wins against England, Pakistan's chances will be low as Pakistan's net run rate is very low compared to New Zealand. Pakistan's only chance is if New Zealand loses today against Sri Lanka and they win the next match against England or they have another equation which is if New Zealand wins against Sri Lanka today then Pakistan must win against England by a huge margin. If these equations go in Pakistan's favour, Pakistan will be the fourth team to qualify for the semi-finals of the World Cup.
In my opinion I think Pakistan have a little chance to go in the next round. Even then they seems like more stronger team from the England team but I have a doubt on that match result who's gonna won that match. But in today's match I think New Zealand team going to win even then New Zealand team passing a bad time but I think they have ability to win against Sri Lanka. So for today I am going to take New Zealand team for winning. November 09, 2023, 01:55:17 AM
Although Pakistan's performance is not up to the mark, I would say that at this point they are a much better team when compared to Sri Lanka. Without Hasaranga, Sri Lanka is a shit team. Even the addition of Angelo Mathews hasn't helped them. Out of the three teams in contention for the semi-final slot as the 4th placed team (Pakistan, Afghanistan and New Zealand), I would say that Pakistan has the maximum probability. New Zealand would come in next, despite their recent downturn in form and Afghanistan only has a remote possibility.
The good or bad thing about Pakistan team is that you cant predict how they will play on next fine morning. Pakistan chances of making to semis are rear if NZ won its game against SL. If NZ beat SL by one run then Pakistan has to beat England by 130 runs and to be precise if NZ beat SL by Z runs then Pakistan has to beat England by 130 x Z runs. As a Pakistani fan I don't wanna see Pakistan in semis as they have to face India and we have terrible record against India in WC.

Not only today's game is important for New Zealand and Pakistan but for Sri Lanka also. Sri Lanka is currently at number 9th position and if they lose today's game then they will also be eliminated from Champions trophy to be held in 2025. Pakistan can only qualify for next round if Sri Lanka win today's game otherwise it will be difficult for Pakistan to qualify for next round.

Tomorrow we have a really demanded Match because here will be decided whom will qualify for semifinals because if NewZeland won then there chances will be really high and paksitan has to won his game with big margin against England but if NewZeland lose or abounded due to rain then paksitan will be straight away to semifinals against india
