New Zealand have reached the last four at three of the last four T20 World Cups and they can make it four from five at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday. They take on England, who have already secured a place in the semi-finals, in their final tie at the Super 8 stage.
The Black Caps had their first Super 8 match – a meeting with Pakistan – booked, but they have done something by eliminating co-hosts Sri Lanka, Mitchell Santner with 47 and Rachin Ravindra with four for 27 in a 61-run stroll. That has left them two points clear of the Shaheens, also with a far superior NRR.
For Pakistan to have any chance of getting through, they need England to beat New Zealand. Former Black Caps captain 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 their matches. That was the case once again in the thrilling two-wicket win over Pakistan, Harry Brook’s century at No.3 just about covering another late collapse.
