New Zealand vs Sri Lanka FREE Live Streaming, Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 41: In an attempt to secure its spot in the semi-finals, New Zealand will put in all its efforts when it faces Sri Lanka in Match 41 of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday (November 9). This will also be the last league match for both teams.
New Zealand has a slightly better chance of qualifying because of its better run rate than Pakistan and Afghanistan, the other two sides in the fray for the only semi-final spot up for grabs. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will play to secure its place in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be hosted in Pakistan. Both teams have played a different brand of cricket in this World Cup. New Zealand had a fiery start with four wins in the first of its four games, but it is struggling at the moment with losing the last four matches on the trot in their campaign.
Sri Lanka has had one of the worst starts to their World Cup campaign, losing the first three games, then winning two, and then losing the next three matches. Both teams will put in their best efforts to score a win. However, there is a rain threat that has been looming large over this match. 

New Zealand's strengths and weaknesses:

New Zealand has been flatlined after a dominating start to their campaign. Kiwis had a rough time in the latter part of the tournament, with even experienced pacers like Trent Boult and Tim Southee leaking runs in plenty. The team has also become aware of the dangers of depending on a part-time spinner like Glenn Philips in its last match against Pakistan. Its only solace is its left-arm spinner, Mitchell Santner, who is also the highest wicket-taker for Kiwis in this World Cup campaign. 
However, New Zealand's batting is the only positive for it at the moment, but that too only in patches. Some individual performances from young Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell have been keeping New Zealand afloat. Also, with Kane Williamson back in the squad, Kiwis have gained much-needed stability in their middle order.  

Sri Lanka's strengths and weaknesses:

Sri Lanka is already out of this edition of the World Cup, and the only thing that will motivate it to win this match is to guarantee a spot in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The squad is already in a mess owing to its injury woes, sidelining some of its prominent players, including skipper Dasun Shanaka. The team did manage to play good cricket against weaker sides, but it failed to replicate the same against quality opposition. Sri Lanka's bowling has been its weakest link, especially pacers, who have been leaking runs and were unable to get crucial breakthroughs. Its batting had been the only bright spot in its campaign, with Sadeera Samarawickrama and Pathum Nissanka performing admirably and interim skipper Kusal Mendis providing crucial knocks from time to time, though they lack consistency.
