Analysis of Sri Lanka Batting
Sri Lanka’s batting in this match of the ICC World Cup 2023 is very disappointing. They can all out for just 90 runs. So, Kusal Perera`s fifty and Maheesh Theekshana`s 38 runs saved from a big disaster. Overall Sri Lanka`s batting is questioning and the future is uncertain. They need to make big decisions and need a strong structure. Otherwise, others are superseded and face many difficulties. They need to restructure domestic cricket and check the fitness of players. Sri Lankan players need to play more Red-Ball cricket to gain skills and accuracy.
Analysis of New Zealand Bowling
New Zealand`s bowling is good so far in the ICC World Cup 2023. So, their big concern is the fitness of key bowlers. Captain Kane Williamson told reporters, “We are fully fit now and our bowlers are ready for a big challenge in the Semi-Final of the ICC World Cup 2023. This type of statement gains confidence for bowlers. Trent Boult`s bowling is outstanding in this tournament so far. Trent Boult with Tim Southee is a combination just like Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
Lockie Ferguson`s pace and accuracy help the opener bowlers attack the batting line. Mitchell Santner`s spin bowling is a challenge to batting line to face spinning deliveries. They need some consistency in the Semi-Final of the ICC World Cup 2023. Indian batting line is tough and attacking. Aggressive bowling helps New Zealand`s bowling to restrict them.
