Reaching the SF is better than expected really I was expecting us to be out by now

New Zealand score 70 off of the last 4 overs to post a competitive total of 168-7 vs Sri Lanka.

Nissanka bowled first ball! Screamer from Henry.

So Sri Lanka are out.

In a moment of no shenanigans whatsoever, the BCCI have of course arranged that their final match is the last super 8 game, meaning a) India will know what they must do to qualify, and b) which result will put them up against which semi finalist from the other group.

So ideally we need results to be such that there is real jeopardy of finishing third (at best) in their final match. Go Zimbabwe

Good win today, Jacks has turned himself into a decent finisher in this tournament. Despite winning the group we don't know where or when our semi will be because of the usual bending and scraping to India
