New Zealand vs Sri Lanka LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Williamson on today's weather forecast

[Reporter:]

 

As we know, it's a very important fixture tomorrow (November 9) in terms of qualification. Looking at the weather, is there any sort of tension or pressure within the team having won first four matches and losing four matches then? Is there any sort of pressure within the team?

 

[Kane Williamson:]

 

I mean you naturally want to win as many as you can. We did start off well in terms of those results, but there were also some really close games and ones that we lost. I think if we look at the cricket on a whole, there has been a lot of good cricket and we've seen a lot of teams here playing really good cricket and coming into it we knew that anybody can beat anybody and we've certainly seen that. There's been so many, every team's won a few. And so, yeah, I mean, it's just trying to focus on our cricket and try and put out better performances and I guess that's sort of the beauty of this type of layout is that you do play everybody, you are challenged by everybody in different ways, so the focus is much more about your own cricket and how you look to try and handle that.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Pakistan and Afghanistan want Sri Lanka win

 

Pakistan and Afghanistan on the other hand, would be hoping that the Kiwis lose as that will open up all the opportunities for them to make it to the last four. Sri Lanka, hurting from two very different defeats at the hands of India and Bangladesh, would be hoping to return home with a morale-boosting win. This win could also give them direct qualification for the Champions Trophy 2025. Dunith Wellalage might find a place in playing 11 against New Zealand as he has not been given a decent run in the tournament.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates: Why is it a must-win for Kiwis?

 

It is a must-win match for the Kiwis because if they don’t win, they will have to depend on England and South Africa to push them through to the semi-final. Thus changes in their playing 11 are expected. They would bring in Lockie Ferguson in their playing 11 in place of Ish Sodhi the extra spinner in all probability.
