씨유티비 New Zealand Surge Past Sri Lanka to Seal Super Eight Exit for Co Hosts 🏏🔥🇳🇿
New Zealand produced one of the most composed performances of the T20 World Cup Super Eights, bouncing back from early trouble to defeat co hosts Sri Lanka by 61 runs at the R Premadasa Stadium. Fans following the action on 씨유티비 watched a dramatic shift in momentum as Mitchell Santner’s fearless knock transformed the match and ended Sri Lanka’s hopes of progressing in front of their home crowd.
Santner Turns the Tide in Colombo 🏟️💥
For a while, it looked like Sri Lanka had the upper hand. After being asked to bat first, New Zealand started brightly but quickly slipped from 75 for 2 to 84 for 6 as the spinners tightened control. Watching on 씨유티비, you could sense the tension building as wickets kept falling and the innings threatened to stall completely.
Then Mitchell Santner stepped in with clarity and confidence. His 47 off just 26 balls changed the entire tone of the innings. He did not overcomplicate things. He picked his moments, trusted his swing, and cleared the ropes four times. That late burst allowed New Zealand to gather 70 runs in the final four overs, pushing the total to 168 for 7, which suddenly felt more than competitive.
Cole McConchie played his part beautifully with a calm 31 not out. The partnership between the two added 84 runs in just 47 balls. It was the kind of stand that quietly reshapes a match without needing flashy headlines.
Sri Lanka’s Early Setback Proves Costly 🌙🏏
Chasing 169 under pressure is never easy, especially in a Super Eight match where every over matters. The opening moments set the tone. Matt Henry struck with the very first delivery, removing Pathum Nissanka for a duck. From there, Sri Lanka struggled to rebuild.
Henry’s control and variation made scoring difficult. His figures of 2 for 3 reflected how tight he was in the powerplay. When Rachin Ravindra joined the attack, the squeeze continued. Ravindra, who earlier contributed 32 with the bat, delivered 4 for 27 to dismantle the middle order.
Sri Lanka never truly recovered from the early damage. The scoreboard pressure grew steadily, and even experienced players found it hard to rotate strike. They finished on 107 for 8, falling well short of the target.

Home Crowd Heartbreak 💔🇱🇰
Captain Dasun Shanaka admitted the disappointment after the match. Playing at home brings expectation, and the support throughout the tournament had been loud and passionate. For many watching on 씨유티비, it was clear how much the result meant to both teams. Sri Lanka had hoped to restrict New Zealand to around 130, but those final overs shifted everything.
The defeat marked Sri Lanka’s second in the Super Eight stage, effectively ending their campaign in this edition of the T20 World Cup. For the co hosts, it was a tough moment under the lights in Colombo.
New Zealand’s Big Stage Composure 🌟🏆
New Zealand’s performance showed resilience. From 84 for 6 to a commanding 61 run victory, they handled pressure with calm decision making. Santner’s leadership stood out, not only through his batting but also through smart bowling changes that kept Sri Lanka on the back foot.
For viewers streaming through 씨유티비, it was a reminder of why T20 cricket can flip so quickly. A few overs of confidence can reshape the story entirely.
As the Super Eights continue, New Zealand carry renewed belief, while Sri Lanka reflect on what might have been in front of their own supporters
