New Zealand VS Sri Lanka
I am very interested in the New Zealand vs Sri Lanka match. New Zealand is a very strong team. They also defeated a strong team like Australia by a huge margin. Compared to Sri Lanka, New Zealand will undoubtedly be far ahead. But Sri Lanka is a team whose performance cannot be predicted. They have some very talented players in their team. Every player in the team is capable of playing well, but no player is consistent. And this is Sri Lanka's only weakness. Sri Lankan players have the ability to defeat the New Zealand team. But the players are not in good form.
I will put this New Zealand team ahead in this match, and I will bet for the victory of New Zealand. However, if they want to win, New Zealand's bowlers must perform well. New Zealand batsmen are in good form, I think they will perform well
Right now New Zealand is strong side and have good players which are performing good but here we have to praise Sri Lanka as well because they are also doing amazing job in last few weeks specially win in Asia Cup in presence of Pakistan and India is big achievement, so we can expect good fight from both sides even history and current situation both favoring New Zealand but still it's not going to be easy game for both sides.
Match going to be play at Sydney where New Zealand already won against Australia surely favorable for them as Sri Lanka needs to be adjusted with mostly playing their matches on other venues if Sri Lankan able to have some good runs on board then surely this is going to be exciting match after frustrated days of rain effected matches.
As I said, if the New Zealand bowlers are able to perform well, they will win this match. The performance of the New Zealand bowlers was very good. And despite being given a target of 168 runs, the New Zealand team won easily. The Sri Lankan batsmen could not withstand the extraordinary performance of New Zealand's bowlers. Sri Lanka's innings ended with just 102 runs.
Apart from Glenn Phillips, the performance of the New Zealand batsmen was not satisfactory. Phillips' performance today impressed everyone. He scored 104 runs off just 64 balls. On the other hand, the total collection of the first four batsmen of Sri Lanka was only 8 runs. Sri Lanka batted very badly today.
