Rachin could surpass Sachin

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Live Score, NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Rachin Ravindra has scored a whopping 523 runs so far in this World Cup. He is hence tied with Sachin Tendulkar's tally in the tournament overall before the latter had turned 25 and that was also the most runs scored by any player in the World Cup below that age. Ravindra could hence that particular record of Tendulkar's today. The rest, like most runs, most centuries, the five wicket hauls, are for another day. A day that seems set to come considering how he has taken this World Cup by storm and become a fan favourite everywhere he goes.

NZ won the toss and elected to field first.

I think, it is a strategic mistake!!!

No.. it is not

I don't think we'll get a full 100 overs match, so NZ just have to beat the DLS target

Raj: "I just want to see Angelo Matthews come out to bat. :)"

😂

Rooting for the Kiwis today!

Thanks for the tag Madhuri.

They don't have good bowlers

Yeah but srilanka has worse.

NZ should have batted first maybe.

But due to the result of NZ v Pakistan match they decided to bowl first.
