World Cup 2023: Boult leads the way as New Zealand defeat Sri Lanka to virtually confirm semi-final against India

Firstpost  

Trent Boult’s haul of 3/37 helped New Zealand restrict Sri Lanka to a modest 171 at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium, with the Black Caps overhauling the target in just 23.2 overs to give their NRR a massive boost. Bengaluru: Trent Boult led an inspired bowling display to help New Zealand down Sri Lanka by five wickets on Thursday and move to the brink of the World Cup semi-finals. The Mendis strike was Boult’s 50th World Cup wicket Cup to enter elite company including Glenn McGrath, Muttiah Muralitharan, Mitchell Starc, Lasith Malinga and Wasim Akram. “If we’d had a good score in the top order we’d have got over 300 and that would be a good score on this pitch.” Sri Lanka suffered their seventh loss in nine league matches.
