New Zealand (168/7) smoke Sri Lanka (107/8) by a massive margin of 61 runs in Super Eight clash of T20 World Cup 2026

[JaDed]

Injury prone ground this.. enough areas to get hurt while diving

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Looking at the two of Sodhi and Rachin, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Rachin was the pro spinner in the side.

 

[Error404]

I back SL to chase this down... In 50 overs

 

[G0rmintAunty]

They probably can't win this now. 124 to win from 10 overs.

Yeah best we can hope is they somehow get to 130 odd

 

[Asif321]

Can these two produce something special

 

[RexRex]

Kinda sad that the gorays are winning even in the only sport subcontinent is good at

 

[globetrotter]

Unusual tactics by srilankan batters .... lost 5th wickets

 

[sweep_shot]

Even a big NZ win here doesn't mean Pakistan is out.

Pakistan can still go to semi if NZ lose big to England and Pakistan win big against SL.

Another wicket.

SL - 46/5 (10.3 overs).

 

[Asif321]

Kinda sad that the gorays are winning even in the only sport subcontinent is good at

Subcontinent good only with memes and humiliating each other

 

[JaDed]

Ravindra bhai having a good game lol but terrible shots, Lankan batsmen are really bad against spin.. how is that possible??

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Why did sl bowl first on this pitch ? Everything looks odd from sl in this match.

 

[SherWaqar]

SL

 

[Devadwal]

Getting so sick of these gorays that I am thinking about backing India in next games

Tomorrow is big day. First South Africa vs westindies ( 3PM IST) later india vs Zimbabwe .

First game will decide the india fate

 

[CricVet]

I put on a tenner anyway, always bets on those odds.

I would not put a penny after the start they had.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shanaka gone. Can NZ get them 75 all out?

 

[deltexas]

One more gone ! Curtains for SL and Pak I suppose as well now

 

[globetrotter]

Pakistan at last found " new Zimbabwe" in Srilanka

 

[Energy]

Either NZ and Eng are too good, or SL and Pakistan too poor.

Being mentally strong in your skill-set is so important.

 

[shah9425]

They are chasing just like against England

 

[batandballbattle]

lol now his third off a long hop

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Nz are going to win huge.

 

[SherWaqar]

Why did sl bowl first on this pitch ? Everything looks odd from sl in this match.

Nothing odd. Just rubbish.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

I think Pakistan is now pretty much out of it.

Nz aren’t gonna submit badly against England.

 

[Sanzcool]

Told ya

U saying breeze is a sin, this is Premadasa stadium, not Wankhede or Chinnaswamy stadium

 

[JaDed]

Subcontinent good only with memes and humiliating each other

All Asian cricketers have one job and they don’t even do that properly.. Kiwi cricketers could probably play two sports and still beat Asians in those two sports.

 

[shah9425]

What a dolly catch

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Tomorrow is big day. First South Africa vs westindies ( 3PM IST) later india vs Zimbabwe .

First game will decide the india fate

Explain further how?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

New Qualification Scenario for Pak

NZ loses from Eng
And Sl Do not turn up against Pak

 

[deltexas]

So both SFs now will be in Ind. Dont see Pak qualifying for SF here

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kinda sad that the gorays are winning even in the only sport subcontinent is good at

Rachin dude representing subcontinent.
Maharaj also is there.
We also have Gudakesh Motie in WI.

Their victory is our victory

 

[sweep_shot]

I put on a tenner anyway, always bets on those odds.

West Indies or South Africa could've pulled it off.

Very little chance SL would score 124 in 10 overs.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Just tuned it and somehow I am not surprised at all.

I can only imagine what the Pakistani fans went through when NZ were 87-6 and then finished on 167 hahaha

 

[JaDed]

Just tuned it and somehow I am not surprised at all.

I can only imagine what the Pakistani fans went through when NZ were 87-6 and then finished on 167 hahaha

It’s probably worse for Lankan fans, 70 from last 4 overs PCT still has a miracle chance for Lanka it’s over

 

[sweep_shot]

New Qualification Scenario for Pak

NZ loses from Eng
And Sl Do not turn up against Pak

If NZ lose to England by 60 runs and if Pakistan beat SL by 60+ runs, Pakistan may overtake NZ's NRR.

Pakistan now have to win big. As big as possible.

 

[Josh]

SL playing Rachin murlidharan so bad

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So SL flopped big time to get hammered for 168 and then 46-5

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Rachin dude representing subcontinent.
Maharaj also is there.
We also have Gudakesh Motie in WI.

Their victory is our victory

Adil Rashid too

 

[JaDed]

Conchie bhai what was that lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If NZ lose to England by 60 runs and if Pakistan win by 40-50 runs, Pakistan may overtake NZ's NRR.

Pakistan now have to win big. As big as possible.

That's something Pak is incapable of doing

 

[RexRex]

Rachin dude representing subcontinent.
Maharaj also is there.
We also have Gudakesh Motie in WI.

Their victory is our victory

That's right ! They have those unique desi genes that nobody can replicate.

 

[Smbhayi]

So more or less Pak gonna get knocked out today...

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

If NZ lose to England by 60 runs and if Pakistan win by 60+ runs, Pakistan may overtake NZ's NRR.

Pakistan now have to win big. As big as possible.

NZ aint loosing to Eng by 60 Runs. Its game over for Pak

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Explain further how?

If the West Indies win, they will have 4 points. South Africa currently have 2 points, and their last match is against Zimbabwe.

 

[JaDed]

Adil Rashid too

Ish Sodhi too

 

[Josh]

If NZ lose to England by 60 runs and if Pakistan win by 60+ runs, Pakistan may overtake NZ's NRR.

Pakistan now have to win big. As big as possible.

Babar has to open and make proper use of powerplay

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

It’s probably worse for Lankan fans, 70 from last 4 overs PCT still has a miracle chance for Lanka it’s over

Both teams are getting what they deserve. This is a reflection of where they are in this format.

 

[deltexas]

If NZ lose to England by 60 runs and if Pakistan beat SL by 60+ runs, Pakistan may overtake NZ's NRR.

Pakistan now have to win big. As big as possible.

Yeah just like Ban had to defeat Afg in the 23 WC to qualify LOL !

 

[sweep_shot]

If the West Indies win, they will have 4 points. South Africa currently have 2 points, and their last match is against Zimbabwe.

If Windies beat South Africa, I think it is game over for India even if they win their 2 games.

Windies's NRR is super-high.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

If the West Indies win, they will have 4 points. South Africa currently have 2 points, and their last match is against Zimbabwe.

Yes then? India will also have 4 points? So yes india need to big win tomorrow... Hmmm

 

[JaDed]

finally some momentum

 

[Devadwal]

Explain further how?

If Westindies win against South Africa, they will qualify for semi because of High NRR.

South Africa last game is against Zimbabwe so they can thrashed them .

Even India win both remaining game , we will not qualify because of poor NRR .

 

[prash88]

NZ heading towards huge NRR boost that Pakistan can consider themselves knocked out

 

[shah9425]

Another one bites the dust

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ravindra 4fer. What a talented Bangalorean @pillionrider

 

[Josh]

2.2 overs and already 4 wickets for 11

 

[deltexas]

Falling like 9 pins now, procession... What a limp display by SL . Useless..

 

[sweep_shot]

Another wicket.

Sri Lankans seem to be in a hurry to go home and enjoy some chicken kottu.

SL - 59/6 (12.2 overs).

 

[Champ_Pal]

Never seen Ravindra turn the ball this much. He is bowling like a champion.

 

[JaDed]

4 wickets lol, Lankan batsmen are the worst

 

[Bhaijaan]

Rachin 11/4

 

[batandballbattle]

lmao ravindra made to look like prime kumble against players who should be good at playing spin on their own home turf, that's pretty embarassing

 

[IAJ]

Whenever there is a hope, I turn on the stream only to see another wicket go down. Chalo enough of this drama. Iftaar time here soon

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Asian bloc: from BCMC each other, to BCMC koi to jeeto….

 

[deltexas]

Good to see NZ backing up their pre event fave tag .. Just shows how pathetic SL and Pak have been.

 

[JaDed]

Never seen Ravindra turn the ball this much. He is bowling like a champion.

Lol before today’s game he had 16 wickets in 48 games

 

[Champ_Pal]

Adil Rashid too

Ohh yeah.

Go Rashid bhai. Represent subcontinent.

This basically ensures at least one brownie will win the cup.

 

[Smbhayi]

Explain further how?

If Windies win tomorrow more or less india will be out of the tournament (as SA most likely to win against Zimbabwe)..

 

[sweep_shot]

Whenever there is a hope, I turn on the stream only to see another wicket go down. Chalo enough of this drama. Iftaar time here soon

Enjoy your iftar.

It is just a sport at the end of the day. No need to get worked up. BCCICC has ruined cricket anyway.

 

[JaDed]

Rachin ll improve as a cricketer unlike majority Asian playing cricketers

 

[Josh]

Rachin 11/4

Rachin had Tuesday fast yesterday and he is playing SL today. So as a true Sanatani, you can understand

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

SL fans seem to be not bothered and smiling in Stands. Jolly Nation

 

[CricVet]

If NZ lose to England by 60 runs and if Pakistan beat SL by 60+ runs, Pakistan may overtake NZ's NRR.

Pakistan now have to win big. As big as possible.

Only if these idiot Pakistanis in Lankan outfits managed to score at least 130 (not happening) to have a hope. Pakistan well deservedly out of the WC. Babar though will still be in the future WC squads in the next 50 years regardless of being on crutches

 

[iRfaN_LA]

now we can hammer SL and go home saying its all good.

 

[Devadwal]

Whenever there is a hope, I turn on the stream only to see another wicket go down. Chalo enough of this drama. Iftaar time here soon

Bhai such batana , ramadan main jhut nahi. Dard bhut hora hai na jase Lanka ke wicket gir Rahe hai ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Chase in SL is not that easy. Harry brook what a knock that was

 

[Bhaijaan]

Sri Lanka better play for net run rate.

You may be out but your contribution can help our brotherly nation of Pakistan qualify for semis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So is it safe to say that Pak and SL will be crashing out of the WC now

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Lol stupidity from srilanka to bowl first here. No team wins here while chasing.

They are just as brain dead as Pakistan.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

People here expecting England to beat NZ by X amount of runs.

NZ will most likely beat England too lol

 

[Asif321]

Hopefully SA win the cup
