New Zealand started the World Cup in great form winning their first 4 matches.
Things have gone a bit downhill after 4 consecutive defeats.
The semi-finals spot is now not certain even if they defeat Sri Lanka in their next match.
If New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan win their matches, it would come down to run rate.
As of now, the Kiwis have a better run rate than Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It helps New Zealand if Pakistan lose to England and Australia beat Afghanistan.
New Zealand need to win by a big margin against Sri Lanka to make things hard for the other teams.
Things could get a bit tricky because of a rain forecast in Bengaluru.
If the match gets washed out, the Kiwis will finish on 9 points.
They will need both Pakistan and Afghanistan to lose their matches.
