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.

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.

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.

New Zealand's situation is now very bad after losing the last four matches. 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.
Boult's superb bowling made Sri Lanka's top order stumble. 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.

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.

[Sithara007]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka lost the toss in today's match and got the opportunity to bat first at the invitation of the New Zealand team. The batting of the Sri Lankan team was very bad from the start. It is normal for the batting performance of the Sri Lankan team to be bad. Because Sri Lanka is a much weaker team than New Zealand. In today's match, the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team failed to play the balls of the strong New Zealand team bowlers well. So far they have collected 159 runs by losing 9 wickets after playing 41 overs. In this match, the bowlers of the New Zealand team performed well against Sri Lanka. The bowlers of the New Zealand team put the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team under severe pressure. Looking at Sri Lanka's batting, it is clear that New Zealand players will not have to work hard to win this match today

[MusaPk]

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.

Sri Lanka gave a target of 172 runs and New Zealand know they have to chase it as quickly as possible to remain in the safe zone. Some reistance we saw from last batting pair of Sri Lanka today, Maheesh Theekshana and Dilshan Madushanka both added 41 runs before the pair was broken by Ravindra. Sri Lanka will be happy that they were not bowled out before 100 today.

[3kpk3]

Looks like Pakistan and Afghanistan can kiss their semifinal chances goodbye because New Zealand wrecked Sri Lanka as expected. They would have probably gotten out within 100 if Latham hadn't dropped Kusal early on.

All kiwi bowlers except Southee bowled really well and I hope Ravindra notches up another century in this encounter.

M Theekshana and Dilshan bat Sri Lanka finally scored 171 runs all out. The way they were playing, just falling wickets, I thought they might be all out in 35 overs. But M Theekshana and Dilshan batted well together they tried to play the whole over but they managed to play till 46 overs. New Zealand have been given a target of 172 runs. I feel that if New Zealand bats the way they are batting against Pakistan  they might not lose a single wicket. If the New Zealand batsmen can play today with the same consistency as they did against Pakistan, they can win by 10 wickets.

I did not expect Sri Lanka to score 171 runs. Because they lost 8 wickets in 113 runs. Still managed to give a target of 172 runs. Had the pitch been bowling-friendly I would have said the match would have been competitive. But the pitch is completely batting-friendly. The New Zealand team collected 401 runs in the last match on this pitch. Even then the New Zealand team had to be defeated. Scoring 172 runs in today's match will not be a tough task for New Zealand. I will say the New Zealand team will not lose more than 2 wickets to collect 172 runs. New Zealand will probably reach the target of victory within 35 overs.

Sri Lanka batsman makes 3 run in 2 over and 1 outs. It was a very poor start from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka batsman makes 15 run in 3 over. Sri Lanka batsman makes 34 run and 3 outs.sri Lanka makes 74 run in 10 over and 5 outs.Sri Lankan batsmen are not showing good performance and struggle by any looks. Sri Lanka batsman makes 112 run in 21 over.The Sri Lanka batsmen gave a target of 172 runs and all the players were out.However, the Sri Lanka batsmen did not show any struggle and hard work and dashed Pakistan hopes. The target is so low that the New Zealand batsmen can complete this match in 10-15 overs if they want.

Sri Linka very bad start of 1st innings113/8 to 171/10 target is brilliant. I think A very good comeback from the Sri Lankan tail enders bowlers in this match and the especially from Theekshana scored 38*. But i think its still a poor total just 171. Maheesh Theekshana get wicket of Rachin Ravindra New Zealand are 92-2 in 14 overs. Now New Zealand will have to chase 172 target as fast as possible beacuse they secure their place in the 4th position and increase chances of qualifying at world cup semi-final.

Sri Lanka put in a very poor batting performance at first down as they lost all wickets very quickly for 171 runs. Sri Lankan batsmen performed very poorly due to which they could not collect big scores. And the target of 172 runs was given by Sri Lanka to the New Zealand team which was not very difficult to win the match. However, the New Zealand team lost five wickets after coming to the target at the last moment. If Sri Lanka could have done a good bowling performance from the beginning, then they could have put New Zealand under good pressure. As it was not possible to bowl New Zealand, and due to poor bowling, Sri Lanka lost the match, and New Zealand won brilliantly.
