New Zealand have reached the last four in three of the last four T20 World Cups, and they could qualify four out of five at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday. They face England, who have already secured a place in the semi-finals, in their final tie of the Super 8 stage.
The Black Caps faced their first Super 8 match – an encounter with Pakistan – in the rain, but made up ground as they bowled out co-hosts Sri Lanka, Mitchell Santner scoring 47 and Rachin Ravindra taking four for 27 in a 61-run romp. This left them two points better than the Shaheens, also with a vastly superior NRR.
For Pakistan to have any chance of getting through this, they need England to beat New Zealand. Former Black Caps skipper Tim Southee, now England’s bowling coach, should certainly be able to help in that regard.
England have been somewhat chaotic with the bat, being forced to go deep in almost all of their matches. That was the case once again in the thrilling two-wicket win over Pakistan, with Harry Brook’s century at number 3 coming close to covering another late collapse.
