In the 2023 World Cup, the lower-ranked teams, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, are set to clash in the smog-choked city of New Delhi, India. Both teams find themselves with no chance of advancing to the semi-finals.
As of the latest rankings, Sri Lanka holds the 7th position on the points table with 4 points from seven games, while Bangladesh stands at the 9th position with 2 points from an equal number of matches.
In their previous encounters, these two teams have faced each other 53 times, with Sri Lanka emerging victorious in 42 of those matches.
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is known for favoring batsmen, with its pitch conducive to high-scoring matches.
However, the deteriorating Air Quality Index (AQI) has forced players to refrain from practice sessions leading up to the match.
