Another important match in the context of the tournament. Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and to some extent, Pakistan will be dependent on this match. So, the results might affect other teams as well which is why this is one of the crucial matches of the tournament. Even though both teams are in the top four but can be replaced by any team if they keep losing matches from here on. Both teams will want to win this match to get closer to the Semi-Finals.
Australia will wish to continue their winning streak to qualify for the Semi-Finals on the other hand, New Zealand will make sure to win this match to not go deep for the qualification.

Maybe Stoinis make it into the playing 11, but the remaining team looks solid. They are playing good cricket and there is no need to change the winning combination.

New Zealand’s playing XI might remain the same. The only game they have lost till now is against India, the most favorite team of the World Cup 2023 and the hosts too. So, New Zealand has to find a way to back on the winning track.
The results of this match might open a spot for the teams that are placed 5, 6, and 7. England and Pakistan have a slight chance to make it to the Semi-Finals but that is unlikely to happen. Only miracles can help these teams reaching the Semi-Finals.
