The Points Table/Standings

[Athlai]

SL are also a bogey team.

Nah we've beaten them in our last two world cup matches vs them. Since 2015 we've beat aus once, lost twice, one match vs Pakistan and we lost it

 

[Sunil1z]

SL are also a bogey team.

This SL team is average.

 

[Prince EWS]

SL are also a bogey team.

NZ have a history of losing to SL in knock outs and finals when SL are better than them, but losing to teams better than you isn't really a bogey.

Also from an era of cricket where we couldn't play spin, while we're arguably one of the best vs spin here.

 

[Athlai]

Aus/Pak do genuinely make me nervous. We may thrash them both, we may get thrashed. It might even be close.

I fear that most of all.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

If we beat Oz we'll win the whole thing

You will most probably win against SL . That leaves you with requiring 1 win against IND/SA/PAK/AUS . Very easy

Yeah they're genuine bogey teams for NZ. Especially Pakistan.

High chance you will meet one of Aus/Pak in SF . If you win that , then I think you are right.

 

[ataraxia]

So we basically need to win 2 more of the remaining 4 games (pencilling in our loss v Aus), maybe even only one. Seems doable.

 

[Athlai]

With all the upsets we genuinely probably just need 1

 

[straw man]

SL vs NZ in recent tournaments - SL did beat us a couple of times in T20 back in 2012 and 2014... still a long time ago. We've won the last three tournament ODI matches.

2011 ODI World Cup: SL (once in group stage, once in semi final)
2012 T20I World Cup: SL (super over)
2013 Champions Trophy: NZ
2014 T20I World Cup: SL
2015 ODI World Cup: NZ
2016 T20I World Cup: dnp
2017 Champions Trophy: dnp

Edit: Corrected

I reckon a team with five wins will qualify and a team with five wins will miss out. NRR important if you're going for 5. 6 guarantees it.

Anyone can lose a T20 tbf.

Their last good team was in 2015 as well they were one of the best short format teams between 2007-2015. Hard to compare this Sri Lanka now it certainly isn’t a big worrying fixture like it use to be
