Sri Lanka will look to win the 38th game of the ICC World Cup when they take on New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Sri Lanka have seven points from five games whereas New Zealand have eight from their five.
Sri Lanka lost their game to Pakistan while the one against New Zealand was abandoned. On the other hand, New Zealand lost only to Australia while beating Pakistan, which means that if they can beat Sri Lanka in this game, they can still end up at the top of the table.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka cannot top the group even if they win the game.
Sri Lanka will look to ensure that they unleash their spinners on the Kiwis right from the start as one gets the sense that they have not been able to do so in the tournament so far.
