Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table: Sri Lanka faced five-time champions Australia in match number 14 of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 on Monday (October 16). The match was played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Even though the Kangaroos had come into this match under pressure having faced a defeat to India and South Africa in each of their first two matches, they did manage to register a win over Sri Lanka in this match to get their first points on the board in this World Cup. Australia's win by 5 wickets, however, means that there are only two teams that are yet to open their account on the points tally- Sri Lanka and the Netherlands.
India continue to be at the top of the points table as of now with three wins from their three matches at a net run rate of +1.821. New Zealand are placed second with as many points as India but their net run rate stands at +1.604. South Africa and Pakistan are the other two sides that complete the top four with four points each.
