In the Cricket World Cup 2023, New Zealand convincingly defeated Sri Lanka, with the final pair of Sri Lanka frustrating New Zealand by adding 32 runs. Despite Kusal Perera's quickfire fifty, Sri Lanka managed to reach 171, but New Zealand dominated the game. New Zealand achieved a fifty after 6.3 overs and cruised to victory, putting one foot in the semi-finals. Pakistan now needs to beat England by 287 runs to make the semi-finals, while Afghanistan needs to win by 438 runs to surpass New Zealand's net run rate. New Zealand's win almost secured their semi-final spot, and they have now secured a sixth consecutive semi-final. Afghanistan's top-four finish is out of reach due to New Zealand's superior net run-rate. England won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan in a crucial match for securing a semi-final spot.
