New Zealand vs England ICC World Cup 49th Match – Match Result
Updated：England won by 4 wickets (with 3 balls remaining).
| New Zealand | England |
| 159/7(20) | 161/6(19.3) |
Mitchell Santner admitted New Zealand are now “nervous” spectators after their last-gasp defeat to England left semi-final qualification out of their hands. With Pakistan still able to overturn net run rate scenarios against Sri Lanka, the Black Caps must wait and hope. Santner felt “little moments” proved decisive, from a sluggish finish with the bat after 123 for 3 to conceding 21 in the 18th over when Glenn Phillips was targeted. He defended the tactical call but conceded England took smarter options at the death, leaving New Zealand to reflect on a game that had once been firmly in their control.
