Sri Lanka were knocked out of the T20 World Cup after losing to New Zealand by 61 runs in Colombo on February 25. The defeat ended their semi-final hopes. New Zealand’s big win improved their Net Run Rate to +3.050. Pakistan are still in the race but face a tough task. Their NRR is -0.461. They must beat Sri Lanka by about 70 runs in their final Super 8 match. Pakistan also need England to defeat New Zealand. If England’s match is washed out, New Zealand will qualify. Pakistan will know the required margin before facing Sri Lanka on February 28. (PC: India Today)
