āNice to get bit of success at the top there (new ball). Big game, must-win game for us, pleasure is getting that result, yeah a good night. It's a challenging format, challenging part of the world to open the bowling. I feel like I've used my experience in some part of the game. Nice to be on a decent side of it tonight. Always the biggest challenge here (India) is to come across different conditions and conditions that change throughout the tournament. Everyone wants a piece of the host nation, they are playing phenomenal cricket. Time will tell what will happen there (playing India in the semifinal). I am sure it will be an exciting game,ā Boult said.
Thank you for joining us. See you all tomorrow. Goodnight!
Winning skipper Kane Williamson said:
āReally good performance. Early wickets and spin was a challenge through those middle overs. Pitch really slowed down later. The guys showed some good intent later with the chase so great performance overall. We thought there was going to be some weather later but there wasn't any. Hard to read such things. Glad we were able to pick up wickets, people like Perera can take the game away from you. Always great getting our 5th and 6th spinners into the game, a great effort overall. Few teams can end up on the same points, it's about control. Hopefully we can get a couple of days off, we'll be hanging around, not really sure what we'll do. Hopefully if things go our way, would be great to involved in a semi. Will be looking forward to the challenge,ā Williamson said.
Losing skipper Kusal Mendis said:
āWe lost 4 wickets in first 10 overs and that's what got us into trouble. We could have easily gotten 300 on this pitch. Madushanka bowled really well but it was tough to take wickets because we were defending a small total. Quite enjoyed captaincy, disappointed about my own performance but overall it was enjoyable. Very happy to see players putting their hands up and performing,ā Kusal said.
Trent Boult 'excited' to face India in do-or-die territory
New Zealand eased past Sri Lanka by five wickets and over 25 overs to spare in Bengaluru after a few batting hiccups. New Zealand also solidified their semi-final chances, and even though Pakistan are not out of the race yet, an India versus Zealand semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai looks likely. Trent Boult, after sensational figures against Sri Lanka, opened up on taking India in an ICC knockout game.

Sitting in fourth place in the standings, New Zealand is well in the race to make it to the knockout stages of the prestigious tournament. However, they will need to secure a win in their remaining game in order to have the best chance.
The side will be taking on Sri Lanka after a loss against Pakistan in their previous game. After posting a mammoth 401 runs on the board in the first innings, and rain-playing spoilsport during the second innings, Pakistan were declared the winner through the DLS method. Having lost their last four matches, the Black Caps will be desperate to get back to winning ways and improve their chances of making it to the semi-finals.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka sits in eighth place in the standings of the ODI World Cup 2023. With four points in eight games, the side will be looking for a consolation win against New Zealand. They will be coming into the game after a controversial loss against Bangladesh, and it could be interesting to see how they bounce back.
It is also worth noting that if Sri Lanka manages to topple the Black Caps, it could be quite beneficial for the remaining sides, who are well in the race, to make it to the knockout stages of the competition.
