The Black Caps achieved a convincing victory over Sri Lanka, securing their place in the Cricket World Cup semi-finals. The Kiwis defeated Sri Lanka by five wickets in a match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. New Zealand’s strong performance places them in a strong position for a semi-final spot, with 10 points. They are poised to join India, South Africa, and Australia in the semi-finals. Pakistan faces an uphill battle, needing an almost impossible net run rate advantage to overtake New Zealand. The match saw opener Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra lead the Kiwi chase of 172, with the team crossing the finish line in 23.2 overs. Boult and Santner were among the standout performers as Sri Lanka posted 171 all out. The victory sets New Zealand up for a semi-final clash with hosts India.
