    A nervous 24 hours awaits the Black Caps following their four-wicket Super Eight loss to England at the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka

    A nervous 24 hours awaits the Black Caps following their four-wicket Super Eight loss to England at the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka


    If Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 64 runs or chase their target in 13 overs tomorrow morning, they will advance to the semi-finals instead of New Zealand.

    Black Caps all-rounder Rachin Ravindra will have his eyes firmly fixed on the match.



    Pace bowler Matt Henry will depart the tournament to join his wife as they await the arrival of their second child.

    He may return for the semi-final stages, should New Zealand qualify.
