0
Rehan Ahmed and Will Jacks have smashed 44 off 16 balls to take England to a thrilling four-wicket T20 World Cup win in Colombo, denying New Zealand a guaranteed place in the semi-finals but keeping Pakistan’s slender hopes alive.
New Zealand would have joined England in the knockouts with a win in their final Super Eights match and they scored 159-6 after opting to bat.
England lost wickets early and looked like they would be squeezed out at 117-6, needing 43 from the last three overs.
But Ahmed and Jacks took 22 off the 18th over from Glenn Phillips to turn the match on its head.
