New Zealand registered a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka to virtually qualify for the semi-finals. Notably, now Pakistan need to beat England by 287 runs or chase the target in 2.3 overs, which has never happened before in cricket.
Trent Boult won the player of the match award for his three-wicket haul. After the win, Boult sent a warning to India and remarked that everyone wants a piece of the home nation.

“It’ll be exciting to face India in the Semi-Finals. Everyone wants a piece of the home nation. They’re playing phenomenal cricket.”
If New Zealand qualify for the semi-finals, it will be a repeat of the 2019 semi-finals, where the Kiwis beat India by 18 runs.
Nonetheless, India ended their 20-year-long losing streak against New Zealand in ICC events after they beat the Blackcaps by four wickets in Dharamsala on October 22.
