Sri Lanka Qualifies for World Cup After 44 Years with a Win Against New Zealand in 3rd ODI

Sri Lanka’s hopes of direct qualification for the ICC World Cup 2023 have been dashed after their loss to New Zealand in the third ODI on Friday. This means that the team will be playing in the qualifiers for the first time in 44 years. Sri Lanka has been a regular participant in the World Cup since 1975, but this time, they will have to go through the qualification process to secure their spot in the tournament. The qualifiers will be held in 2022, and Sri Lanka will have to compete against other teams to secure their spot in the World Cup. This is a significant setback for Sri Lanka, and they will need to regroup and come back stronger if they want to make it to the World Cup.
