Sri Lanka‘s attempt to move up to the eighth spot in the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League table has been unsuccessful, as they lost to New Zealand in the third ODI at Hamilton. The Super League is being used as a qualification tournament for the 2023 Cricket World Cup, which will feature 10 teams. Seven teams have already secured their spots in the tournament, but Sri Lanka’s loss means they remain outside of the top eight in the Super League standings and must continue to fight for qualification.

The World Cup 2023 was set to feature the top 8 teams in the points table, but Sri Lanka’s recent loss to New Zealand means they finished 9th in the standings. As a result, they must now compete in the ICC World Cup qualifiers, which will take place in Zimbabwe in June and July. The top two teams from the qualifiers will then qualify for the ICC ODI World Cup. This marks the first time in 44 years that the Sri Lankan team will have to play qualifiers in order to earn their place in the World Cup.
Currently, there is a competition between West Indies and South Africa for the 8th position in the points table for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
