New Zealand will be up against the challenge of Sri Lanka in Match 27 of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Melbourne. New Zealand got off to a thunderous start to their campaign as they thrashed Australia by 89 runs. They posted a mammoth total of 200 on the board and managed to restrict the opposition to a low score. The likes of Devon Conway and Tim Southee are the key players for the team.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have a single win and a loss in the tournament and are second in the points table. In their last game against the Aussies, they managed to post a competitive total of 157 but failed to defend the score. They will rely on the contributions of Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka in the batting unit, while Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga have performed well with the ball.

7.5

Dasun Shanaka

SL | ALL

The Sri Lankan skipper has not been contributing enough with the ball or with the bat and should be avoided.

Mark Chapman

NZ | ALL

Although Chapman is a quality batter, he is not likely to get enough opportunities due to strong top-order and can be given a miss.
