NZ vs SL Weather Report: Weather Of Bengaluru Worsens Before New Zealand-Sri Lanka Match, Pakistan Must Be Happy
There is a threat of rain looming over the match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in the ICC ODI World Cup. The sky has been cloudy in Bengaluru since Thursday morning. There is a possibility of heavy rain in the afternoon. According to the Meteorological Department, there is a 75 percent chance of rain between 2 pm and 9 pm. In such a situation, the match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka can also be canceled.
This will be the second match of the New Zealand team in Bengaluru. There was rain in Bengaluru even in the match against Pakistan due to which New Zealand lost by DLS. In such a situation, if the match against Sri Lanka is canceled, it will be certain that the New Zealand team will be out of the semi-finals of the World Cup. This is a do-or-die match for the Kiwis against Sri Lanka.
New Zealand lost by scoring 401 runs
In the match against Pakistan in Bengaluru, New Zealand had scored a huge score of 401 runs, but rain spoiled the team's play so much that the Pakistani team got the victory on the basis of DLS. In such a situation, once again the Pakistani team would be wishing that there would be rain in the New Zealand match so that it could benefit.
If this match of New Zealand against Sri Lanka is canceled due to rain, then the path will be clear for Pakistan to reach the semi-finals. On the other hand, if the New Zealand team wins then it will again become difficult for Pakistan.
Pakistan must be happy
The if-but equation remains intact for the Pakistan cricket team to reach the semi-finals. Pakistani team has 8 points. At the same time, it is behind New Zealand in terms of run rate. In such a situation, if New Zealand's match is canceled due to rain, then the chances of reaching the semi-finals for the Pakistani team will remain intact. However, the match against England will have to be won at any cost. The last league match of the Pakistani team is with England.
