Notably, the longest format matches between the two sides is part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2021-23 cycle. Meanwhile, the three 50-overs games are part of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League.
The white-ball series between New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be played from March 25 to April 8. It is a crucial tour for Sri Lanka as their qualifying hopes for WTC 2023 final and 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup depend on it. Sri Lanka are currently ranked third in the WTC 2023 points table, with Australia and India occupying the first two positions.
On the other hand, New Zealand – who recently faced an embarrassing defeat on their 2023 India tour, will look to regain momentum in the forthcoming series ahead of the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup.
