T20 WC: All-round shows from Rachin, Santner take NZ close to SFs

With this win, New Zealand, who earlier had earned one point after a washout against Pakistan, are now in second spot with three points and have a chance to move to the semifinals, with their final Super Eight clash against semifinalists England being important. NZ's closest competitor is Pakistan, which would reach three points if they happen to beat Sri Lanka in their final Super Eight clash. If Kiwis lose their final Super Eight clash and Pakistan win theirs, the net-run-rate would decide who gets the second semifinal spot from the group. Sri Lanka, having lost both their games, is eliminated from the competition.

Plessis backs Abhishek to play "an amazing innings" during T20WC

For three matches in this T20 World Cup during the group stage, the world waited for Abhishek, the top-ranked T20I batter, to open his run tally. When he finally did it with a four against South Africa, he did not look anywhere close to his dominant, authoritative self. While waiting for the ball to come in his hitting arc and taking his time, he swung his bat at almost every opportunity possible with hopes of landing a meaty hit towards the boundary, but he could score just a 12-ball 15. The clash against Zimbabwe will be a massive chance for him to make an impact, the same opposition against whom he cracked his first-ever international ton during his second T20I match back in 2024.
