Santner Praises New Zealand’s Grit After 61-Run Win Over Sri Lanka
Batting all-rounder Rachin Ravindra starred with a career-best 4-27 as New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka team by 61 runs at the R Premadasa Stadium in the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup.
After slumping to 84/6, New Zealand were rescued by Mitchell Santner and Cole McConchie’s record 84-run stand, lifting them to 168/7.
In reply, Sri Lanka collapsed early as Matt Henry struck first ball, before Ravindra’s clever spin dismantled the middle order. The hosts limped to 107/8, crashing out of the tournament while New Zealand boosted their semi-final hopes with a vital net run-rate surge.
