New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be engaged in a three-match ODI series beginning on Saturday, walk 25. The series begins at Eden Park, moves to the Hagley Oval, and then concludes on March 31 at Seddon Park. This is an excellent opportunity for both teams to learn about the challenges they face and improve their preparation for the World Cup.
The teams, on the other hand, have an intriguing appearance due to the simultaneous IPL competition. In spite of New Zealand’s 2-0 victory in the Test series, Sri Lanka will seek vengeance in the game’s shorter format. The New Zealand team will undoubtedly suffer from the loss of their captain and numerous senior players.
Sri Lanka will also lose players, but not to the same extent. If the debutants step up and play, New Zealand should have enough to win. Although Sri Lanka has a chance if they perform to their full potential, they have had the advantage in the ODIs in recent years, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue.
Sri Lanka will have one last chance to automatically qualify for the ICC event later this year in this series, which will be part of the ODI World Cup Super League. With 77 points, they are currently tenth, one point behind ninth-place South Africa, and 11 points behind eighth-place West Indies.
As a result, they might be able to directly qualify for the ODI World Cup without having to go through the hassle of a qualifying round if they win this series against New Zealand decisively.
