New Zealand vs Sri Lanka T20 World Cup Match Prediction & Betting Tips

Sumit October 29, 2022 0 Comments

New Zealand and Sri Lanka go head to head in Match 27 of the 2022 T20 World Cup at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday evening. New Zealand beat Australia in their opening fixture before their game with Afghanistan was abandoned without a ball bowled. Sri Lanka have beaten Ireland and lost to Australia so far. Read on as we preview this match. The Super 12 stage game begins at 19:00 local time in Sydney.

New Zealand were unfortunate with the weather against Afghanistan but will be in a very strong position in the group if they win this match. They have an excellent recent record against Sri Lanka and will be full of confidence.

Sri Lanka too good for Ireland in their first Super 12 game but were then well beaten by Australia. They were unable to stop Marcus Stoinis in full flow and will need to be wary of the same thing happening against powerful batters here.
