New Zealand and Sri Lanka will face off in a crucial ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday.

New Zealand plundered 401 runs in 50 overs at the same venue against Pakistan before Fakhar Zaman’s heroics proved too good for the Black Caps in a rain-curtailed game. On Thursday, the Kiwi batters will hope for another strong performance with the bat.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, bowled England out for a paltry 156 at this venue and went on to easily chase down the target with eight wickets in hand and almost 25 overs to spare.

Here are the predicted line-ups for both teams ahead of the match:
