ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Newzealand vs Sri Lanka, 27th Match, Group 1 (N), Sydney – Prediction & Odds, Betting Tips

Intro:
As per the ICC rankings, Newzealand is ranked 5th, while Sri Lanka is ranked 8th in the T20 format of the game. Among the two teams. In the last five matches played between these 2 teams Newzealand lead 4-1. However, the last match between these two teams was won by Sri Lanka. That match was played back in 2019 and the match was played in Sri Lanka. These conditions in Australia where this tournament is taking place are much more favourable for Newzealand and as a result, we expect that they will dominate the Sri Lankans in this match. So we are betting on a Newzealand win.

Preliminary review and Pre-match Prediction for Newzealand vs Sri Lanka.

Newzealand:

Newzealand has lost only lost one of the last 5 matches they played. They beat the hosts Australia in their previous match of this tournament. Newzealand is one of the teams predicted to be capable of being among the Super 4 teams which will compete for the title..They have a great mix of batting, bowling and all-round performers who are capable of turning a match over, even against the toughest opponents. 

Sri Lanka:

Sri Lanka was a team expected to surprise many in a positive way after emerging as Asia Cup T20 champions. However, they have been having a rather unpleasant series from the start. They lost the opening match of this tournament against Namibia. They then went on to win the next three matches against UAE, Netherlands and Ireland. The last match they played was on the 25th OCT they played against Australia and they lost that match. So facing a Newzealand that thrashed Australia is going to be a tough game for the Lankans.
