New Zealand crush Sri Lanka to put one foot in Cricket World Cup semifinals

Al Jazeera  

Trent Boult picks up 3-37 as the Kiwis win by five wickets and edge closer to the last remaining semifinal spot. New Zealand have returned to their winning ways at the Cricket World Cup following a four-match slump as they defeated Sri Lanka by five wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and all but secured their place in the semifinals. They’re playing phenomenal cricket.” Williamson’s decision to bowl after winning the toss paid off early as Boult and Tim Southee tore through the Sri Lanka top order to leave them in some trouble at 32-3 inside five overs. Santner curtailed Sri Lanka during a crucial phase of the innings and removed Angelo Mathews and Dhananjaya de Silva before Theekshana and Dilshan Madushanka frustrated New Zealand with a 10th-wicket stand of 43. “In the first 10 overs, we lost three, four wickets and struggled with the bat,” Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis said.
