New Zealand, known for their consistent performances in ICC events, have had a mixed bag in the ongoing World Cup. With three teams vying for the last semifinal spot, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a win against Sri Lanka will strengthen their chances. However, the team's bowling has been a concern, conceding over 350 runs in the last three matches. New Zealand's batting is solid, but they will face a tough challenge from Sri Lanka, who are looking to stay alive in the competition.
