New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Chance of Winning
New Zealand had a great start to the tournament as they won the first four games and seemed destined to make the knockouts this term. Since then, New Zealand’s form has taken a nosedive, they have lost four games on the bounce and are in danger of missing the knockouts. New Zealand are level on points with Pakistan and occupy the fourth spot on the table as they have a better NRR.
Sri Lanka headed into this tournament as underdogs and lacked quality to compete at the top level. Even though Sri Lanka have been knocked out of the competition, they need a win if they aspire to compete in the 2025 Champions trophy. Sri Lanka have lost three games on the bounce which makes this a compelling fixture for both sides. As per our calculations, New Zealand are firm favourites in the upcoming game.
- New Zealand’s chances of winning - 81%
- Sri Lanka’s chances of winning - 19%

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Sri Lanka has failed to utilise powerplay throughout the tournament. Apart from their 125 runs opening stands against Australia, Sri Lanka openers have failed to make a mark in this tournament. In the last five games, Sri Lanka has managed an opening stand of 125, 18, 9, 22 and 0 averaging 25.71 runs. In two of the last three games, Sri Lanka has conceded a bigger opening stand which makes us believe New Zealand would have a bigger opening stand than Sri Lanka in the upcoming game.
Kusal Mendis had a great start to the World Cup as he scored a century and a half century in the first two games. Since then Mendis has failed to make a mark as he has scored 9, 11, 11, 39 and 1 averaging 14.2 runs in the last five games. Against a quality bowling attack of New Zealand, we believe Mendis would struggle to score well and will score under in the upcoming game.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
New Zealand to score more sixes than Sri Lanka
New Zealand and Sri Lanka head into this final round of fixtures with both sides desperate for a win for different reasons. On one hand New Zealand need to win to make the knockouts in this tournament and on the other hand Sri Lanka needs a win to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy. Sri Lanka batsmen have had a torrid run of games heading into this game and have struggled to score well in the last few games. In the last five games, Sri Lanka has managed to hit 1, 3, 3, 2 and 0 sixes averaging 1.8 sixes a game. Even though New Zealand have lost the last four games, they have managed to hit 6, 11, 7, 12 and 4 sixes in the last five matches averaging eight sixes a game which is very favourable if you compare it with Sri Lanka’s average. What makes this tip even more lucrative is the fact Sri Lanka has conceded more sixes in four of the last five games. On paper New Zealand has much more firepower than Sri Lanka which makes us believe New Zealand would score more sixes than Sri Lanka in the upcoming game.
