NZ vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Head to Head Stats and Pitch Report for ODI World Cup 2023, Match 41
New Zealand (NZ) will be up against the Sri Lankans (SL) in Match 41 of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, November 9. While Sri Lanka have already been knocked out of the tournament, the stakes are extremely high for New Zealand as they desperately need a win, having lost their last four games. A win on Tuesday will give New Zealand a better chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. However, even a win may not suffice as Pakistan and Afghanistan can also get to 10 points but the Kiwis have no choice but to take care of what they have in their hands.

NZ vs SL Weather and Pitch Report
The weather forecast for tomorrow’s game is not good by any stretch of the imagination. There is a 78% chance of rain and 47% possibility of thunderstorms. This will not please the Kiwis as they have already been at the receiving end of inclement weather at the same venue. They lost to Pakistan courtesy of the Duckworth Lewis method on November 4 and will be hoping for a different script this time around.
As far as the pitch is concerned, it is an absolute paradise for batters. The flatness of the surface coupled with the short boundaries has posed a massive headache to bowlers and that is bound to continue.
