New Delhi. The 41st match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 will be played on Thursday, November 9 between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The Kiwi team will want to strengthen their claim to reach the semi-finals by winning this match. Pakistan has also kept its eye on this match. Because the result of this match will decide whether they can make it to the semi-finals or not. Two Kiwi players can turn the hopes of the Pakistan camp upside down.
Young cricketer Rachin Ravindra is doing great in World Cup 2023. So far he has scored 522 runs in 8 innings. He is the third highest run scorer in the World Cup. This is the first World Cup for Racine. Rach has scored 3 centuries in the World Cup so far. In such a situation Sri Lankan players will need to be careful with him. Even the Pakistan camp will want him out early.

Another headache for Pakistan could be the powerful all-rounder Darryl Mitchell. Mitchell has been doing well in the World Cup as well. He has scored 375 runs in 7 innings so far. Has also scored a century. He scored this century not against any ordinary team but against India, who beat 8 teams. Mitchell has hit 13 sixes and 34 fours in the tournament so far. The Pakistan team will want a worse performance than Daryl Mitchell.
Pakistan team wants New Zealand team to lose this match. Because if he had won then Pakistan would have to win the next match. Not just to win but to win by a huge margin. If New Zealand team wins by 1 run then Pakistan need to win against England by 130 runs. Which might be a bit difficult for them. However, the decision will be taken on November 11.
