Updated:New Zealand won by 61 runs.
| New Zealand | Sri Lanka |
| 168/7(20) | 107/8(20) |
Khettarama roared for 15 overs, then fell into uneasy silence as Sri Lanka let another promise slip. The crowd arrived hours early, willing every dot ball and wicket, and for a while Dushmantha Chameera’s pace and Maheesh Theekshana’s three-for kept New Zealand in check. Then came the final four overs that leaked 70 runs, flipping the mood in an instant. A shaky 20 for 2 powerplay in the chase deepened the gloom, and gallows humour replaced belief. Dasun Shanaka admitted the pain, as fleeting flashes again gave way to familiar disappointment.
New Zealand rise to the occasion in Colombo to keep their #T20WorldCup 2026 semi-final hopes alive 💪
