By IANS News November 09, 2023 • 23:10 PM View: 1352

ODI World Cup: New Zealand's five-wicket win over Sri Lanka with as many as 160 balls to spare has boosted their Net Run Rate (NRR) up to +0.743 and almost assured them of a semi-final spot in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.

New Zealand have all but sealed their spot in the semifinals of the World Cup, joining the likes of India, South Africa and Australia after a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in Bengaluru on Thursday.

New Zealand's emphatic victory over Sri Lanka means the make-up of the semi-final stage of the event can only change if something dramatic happens.
