In the Cricket World Cup 2023, New Zealand secured a convincing win against Sri Lanka, with Lockie Ferguson returning to the XI and Kusal Perera's quickfire fifty. Sri Lanka struggled, losing wickets quickly, and eventually posted 171. In response, New Zealand lost early wickets but ultimately won with Daryl Mitchell and Kane Williamson contributing. Pakistan needs to beat England by 287 runs to move into the top four. New Zealand's victory almost secures their semi-final spot. In another match, Afghanistan fought hard against South Africa but fell short, posting 246. Azmatullah Omarzai's impressive innings ended at 97* as Afghanistan finished their World Cup campaign.
