New Zealand, after having messed up their qualifications last time during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, have made it through to the Super-8 in this edition. The Mitchell Santner side was not favoured by their fortune, as their opening match in the Super-8 was washed out by rain.
New Zealand at one stage struggled against the Sri Lankan spinners; however, thanks to the two spin-bowling all-rounders in the lower order, they could take the score to a respectable 168 and hand Sri Lanka a healthy target on the spinning Premadasa turf.
As Santner bowled his final ball of the 3rd over to Kamindu Mendis, the left-hander slogged it towards deep mid-wicket and was caught down the throat by one of New Zealand's best fielders, Glenn Phillips.

Rachin Ravindra cuts through the Sri Lankan middle order
The left-arm spinner Rachin Ravindra was introduced as the 5th irregular bowling change by captain Mitchell Santner. However, Ravindra has often been used by Santner with the idea of the slow subcontinent pitches.
He picked the wicket of Pavan Rathnayake, the other batter on the crease, in the very same over and in a very similar fashion. It almost looked like an action replay of the previous dismissal. Ravindra's flow of wickets was not limited to that, as he dismissed skipper Dasun Shanaka in his second over and then Dusan Hemantha in the third over of his spell.
