This is a very important game in terms of semifinal qualification. New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan are competing for the final slot in the World Cup semifinal. New Zealand and Pakistan have four wins each. New Zealand need to win against Sri Lanka to boost their hopes of a semifinal. If they lose and Pakistan beat England, they will be knocked out. New Zealand can't also afford a washout.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have been knocked out of the tournament. The team has lost six out of the eight games they have played. They would like to end the tournament on a high.
Let's take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this match.
The Bengaluru surface has been great for batters, with multiple high scoring matches. Once again, a run fest is expected at the Chinnaswamy.
The weather does not look promising as there are over 90 per cent chance of rain. A washout will be a huge blow for New Zealand's chances of reaching the semis.
Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson (c), Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi/Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, Trent Boult
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis (c & wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Maheesh Theekshana, Dushmantha Chameera, Kasun Rajitha, Dilshan Madushanka
With rain around, New Zealand might want to bring an extra pacer in place of Ish Sodhi. Sri Lanka are likely to field the same team.
The two teams have shared a good rivalry over the years but Sri Lanka's graph in recent times has gone down hill. They don't seem to have the quality to match the Kiwi strength.

Rachin Ravindra has been on fire in the World Cup 2023. He has scored 523 runs in eight games, including three centuries. He will be eyeing another big innings.
Williamson made a memorable return after injury and scored 95 against Pakistan. The captain will know the value of this match and he will be eyeing a great show again.
Santner has enjoyed a great season so far. He has taken 14 wickets in eight games. Santner has been tough to get away in the World Cup and a lot of Kiwi hopes will rest on his shoulders.
Mendis would like to sign off with a big innings. He will enjoy the conditions in Bengaluru. He had a decent run in the first leg of the World Cup but ran out of gas in the recent few games. He would like to play a good innings and end the tournament on a high.
Madushanka has been in great form in World Cup 2023. He has been Sri Lanka's best bowler by far. He is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 21 wickets in eight matches.
