Live Cricket Score: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Match 27

Ish Sodhi ends Sri Lanka's run chase, teasing Lahiru Kumara out of his crease and tricking him before the 'keeper has the batter stumped. Sodhi bags his second wicket and Sri Lanka are bundled out for 102, handing New Zealand a comfortable 65-run win. Despite being on a frontfoot in the powerplay with the ball, Sri Lanka couldn't assert their dominance for long. First, they were taken down by Glenn Phillips, who registered his second T20I ton. Later, Trent Boult had them crippled in the powerplay while batting. The left-arm pacer struck thrice in his first spell and from thereon, Sri Lanka could never recover. New Zealand continue their unbeaten run in the tournament with this win, while Sri Lanka are left struggling with two defeats in three games of the Super 12 stage.

WICKETTrent Boult finishes his spell with the wicket of Dasun Shanaka. His returned figures of 4 for 13 - his best and New Zealand's third best in a T20 World Cup.

WICKET Another one falls. This time it's the dangerous Bhanuka Rajapaksa who mistimes a heave to the fielder at mid off. Lockie Ferguson with the wicket. 58/6 in 10 overs

Oh, it is getting from bad to worse for Sri Lanka. Asalanka has eked out a leading edge to backward point off Boult. 8 for 4 inside 4 overs!! Some good bowling by the New Zealand pace pair but also poor batting from Sri Lanka.
