With this, New Zealand’s dream of winning the trophy has been shattered. England performed brilliantly and defeated defending champion New Zealand by 9 wickets. With England’s victory, New Zealand’s journey in the tournament has ended. At the same time, West Indies was successful in making its place in the semi-finals.

England has already reached the semi-finals from Group B. The English team entered the semi-finals by winning all 5 matches in the group stage. At the same time, West Indies secured their place in the last four by winning 3 out of 5 matches. If seen, both Sri Lanka and West Indies teams had 6 points, but the Caribbean team reached the semi-finals due to better net run rate.

Sri Lanka-Scotland and Ireland out

With the defeat of New Zealand, Sri Lanka’s journey in the tournament has also ended. The teams of Scotland and Ireland were already out of the race for the semi-finals. However, the race for the semi-finals in Group A remains exciting. Two big group matches are to be played on Sunday, which will clear the picture of the semi-finals.
