The Bengaluru weather will be a spoilsport in tomorrow’s NZ vs SL World Cup clash, as it did during the NZ vs PAK clash.
All eyes will be on the Bengaluru weather as New Zealand take on New Zealand in tomorrow’s World Cup clash. The Kiwis are desperate to win and progress to the semi-finals. While the battered and bruised Lankans will try to end their World Cup campaign on a positive note. In addition, the team led by Kusal Mendis will seek to qualify directly for the Champions Trophy by finishing among the top eight teams in the points table.
With so much at stake, both teams hope that the rain will not be a spoilsport as it did a few days ago when the clash between PAK and NZ occurred. The equation is quite simple for New Zealand: win the match and play India in the first semi-final on Wednesday (November 15). The Kiwis are fourth in the points table and also have the best net run rate between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
A win for the Kane Williamson-led team would be enough, while a win for the Lankans would take them a step closer to the Champions Trophy spot, provided the Benglaru weather lasts 100 overs without rain interruptions.
