ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 – New Zealand won five wickets against Sri Lanka
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka highlights, Cricket World Cup 2023: New Zealand thrashed Sri Lanka by five wickets to strengthen their chances to face India in the semifinal at the Wankhede in Mumbai. Devon Conway and Rachan Ravindra’s opening partnership did it for the Kiwis once they had a fruitful powerplay it was a walk in the park for the Blackcaps. Angelo Mathews chipped in with a couple of wickets apart from that there is nothing much from the other bowlers
Trent Boult’s opening burst and Mitchell Santner’s spin web in the middle overs helped New Zealand rattle Sri Lanka for just 171 runs. Though Maheesh Theekshana chipped in with a handy cameo at the end trying to stitch a partnership with lower batters to get them to bowl to something in the second innings it is still a pretty low score given the conditions here in Bengaluru.
New Zealand, finalists in 2019, won their first four matches in India before losing the next four. But they do know how to turn things around like they did in 2019 when similarly struggled to make the semis but were able to turn things around and reach the final.
