New Zealand and Sri Lanka are set to face each other in the 46th T20I of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which is an important Super 8 Group 2 match. The NZ vs SL game will be played at R. Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday, February 25, starting at 7:00 PM IST.

Sri Lanka come into this match after a heavy loss to England by 51 runs. Earlier in the tournament, Sri Lanka had played very well and beat Ireland, Oman, and Australia. However, losses to Zimbabwe and England have hurt their chances, so this match is almost do-or-die for them.

New Zealand, on the other hand, have been in good form. Their first Super 8 match against Pakistan was washed out, so they will be eager to get their first win in this stage.

As the excitement is at an all-time high for this match, in this article, let's take a look at the head-to-head record between both the teams.
