New Zealand's five wickets win over Sri Lanka pushes them an edge closer to the Cricket World Cup semi finals

New Zealand's five wickets win over Sri Lanka pushes them an edge closer to the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup semi finals.

New Zealand reached their target in 23.2 overs to give their net run-rate a significant boost and make it unlikely they can be overtaken in fourth.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson says there are a few teams that could end up on similar points so it's out of their control.

Williamson hopes that it happens in their favour to make it to a semi final match to play the host.

South Africa will play Afghanistan at 8.30 tonight.
