The Black Caps are likely to reach the Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals after a dominant performance against Sri Lanka overnight.
‘Victory left New Zealand on 10 points – in pole position to claim the last semi-final spot and join India, South Africa and Australia. Pakistan will need to beat England by an almost impossible margin to leapfrog New Zealand on net run rate. Afghanistan, who also had slim hopes of qualifying for the knockouts, are in a similar position as their neighbours before their game with South Africa,’ wrote The Guardian.
